@netblues I eventually got it up and running. I’m not sure how or why! The LAN IP was not my actual IP address.. I’m using a non routable IP address.

The WAN is setup for DHCP. The info was taken from the console screen. So it was nothing that I have set. I just went through the web setup routine for that part

I could ping the router, but couldn’t get to the web interface. Once it finally woke up or started working, I could get to the interface.

@alric22 a reset to factory defaults by logging in through the console seemed to do the trick.

There are no plans for that in the short term I'm aware of. The switch support would require a number of additions.

@wblanton Not that it helps, but I mistakenly write LX - I meant SX. My BiDi module reports itself as a 1000Base-SX module.

@steveits said in SG3100 + pfBlockerNG-devel ?:

@mudmanc4 Here is the redmine bug report so you can follow it.

re: what triggers it, from the report certain orders of preg_match() calls can. It seems apparent that the pfSense GUI does not as everything I've seen is in regards to packages. Perhaps the feeds used (variable size) make a difference?

So far so good.

Actions taken in pfblockerNG

1 - Wizard
2 - Maxmind key set
3 - MaxMind Localized Language changed to Brazilian portuguese
Not using geoIP yet, planning to.

4 - Feeds

Noticed that only one DNSBL was in use, ADs_Basic, so I added the following:
. EasyList
. EasyList_Portuguese
. EasyPrivacy

5 - Changed DNSBL Mode to Unbound python mode
6 - Unchecked DNS Reply Logging because I don't need it

@kitsufan Hi, I hit the same issue. Have you figured out how to get it to work?

Oh, indeed! There's no charge for Plus on our hardware. 👍

@steveits Wrong config. They manually added 127.0.0.1 in DNS and it was there allready

@johnpoz So, you really did manage to put the cart before the horse...
But seriously, you do make a good point about order when needing to make a system change in the middle of an update. I'll note this.

Double the TDP maybe but that does not represent consumption given the same load.

You might consider something with less cores at higher frequency instead.

If you can test a 21.05 snapshot it should be there already.

Ah, indeed you can't fit an expansion card to the desktop version.

The limitation is in the SoC which contains the 4 ix NICs. The data lines to read the media info from the the SFP directly are not included as I understand it. It's very unlikely this will be changed with a driver update alone.

@stephenw10 Ok. I started to track down where each device is plugged in. In the process I discovered that the FIOS router is indicating no connection. However, I still have internet. The indicator light is hidden from normal view, so this may have always been the case because it is in bridge mode. I apologize for any confusion.

This looks like a case of my Netgate rebooting itself for an unknown reason.

That's a filesystem error. You can probably escape that with a filesystem check.

You might want to re-install clean anyway though since you are still running 2.4.4p3.

@curtisj - does this help you at all - it worked for me (twice recently) https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/solutions/sg-1100/reinstall-pfsense.html

I have around a dozen SG-1100 in production, they tend to arrive to me in two's or three's so I configure, and software upgrade them one after another, and ship them out. This gives me a some sort of impression of how consistently they behave. Anyway, the last three arrived with me just over a month ago, and I performed a vanilla out-of-the-box config on them, and then the upgrade to pFsense Plus. One decided to brick itself rather than take the upgrade (so I used the procedure above to recover it) and the other two took the upgrade just fine via the web ui. And now I'm thinking about it, there was one that I stuck a label-printed note onto the top that I was unable to serial console onto it.... Maybe I'll revisit that unit and use the warranty. As I'm supplying them to technically-capable users, but not neccessarily firewall technically familiar, I perform multiple reboots before shipping them out and always keep a copy of the final config. But again in this most recent batch one decided that it would be a brick after being DHL'd to the user. Used the procedure above, and blasted the config back onto it, and it's been fine since.

That wifi card definitely works OK in something else?

There is nothing special about the XG-7100 that should be any problem there.
