@Lugie said in Netgate 2100 PPPoE Throughput:

From what I see on other forums, people with fibre connections just don't use limiters anymore.

If you have a symmetrical (or very close to symmetrical) connection, then IMHO "buffer bloat" is kind of a solution searching for a problem. It was much more of an actual issue with highly asymmetrical connections such as the early DSL technology. It can also still be an issue with cable ISPs that offer say Gig download speeds but maybe only a few tens of megabits/sec upload speeds. For example, before my symmetrical Gigabit fiber connection I had 1 Gig down and 50 megabits/sec up from a local cable ISP. The actual speed tests wound up averaging about 800 or so down and 49-51 up. That was an asymmetrical connection.

Not saying Limiters don't have their place in certain specialized applications, but for most home users with a symmetrical connection (where download and upload speeds are the same), they are not needed.

Yes, the Netgate 4200 supports IIMB and can help with WireGuard, more details here:
https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/hardware/cryptographic-accelerators.html

@Koent The 4200 does not have a SFP/SFP+/SFP28 port, so no, it cannot possibly be made to work with the 4200.

You will need it’s older sibling - The 4100 - or it’s bigger brother - the 6100 - so get such a port.
It will likely work just fine in those if it works in ubiguity or mikrotik. Generally most SFPs slot compatible modules works in my experience.

Add me to the list of successful chip-pullers. SG-5100 would not boot at all, no boot menu. I pried the eMMC chip off the board and it boots right up now. 👍 Installed a M.2 drive while I was in there, just installed pfSense to it and restored my config. This thing is hopefully back in service for a bunch more years.

The default code does not. You could write a custom form that included an email address as a mandatory field but it would not be confirmed. You would also have to parse the logs to recover those addresses or include some code to export them.

@dmad

Thanks very much for the 2 links ! I am going to check them now ...

22.05 is tha last version that is supported for the sg1000. It will show that error.

So the issue you're seeing is that it's generating repeated alerts?

@stephenw10 That's built-in and I never had any issues with it on any other site:

Go a new cable and it works now! Thanks.

I would expect it to. I've never tested that particular device though.

@w0w
Thank you for the hints.

@jackhicks121 I've got this connected and the 40G QSFP+ to 4 x 10G SFP+ Passive DAC cable works like a charm.

Thanks

Those are the internal ix NICs that connect to the switch, ix2 and ix3. That new card will appear as ixl0 and ixl1. You should see them in Interfaces > Assignments.

@bseballjon9 said in Netgate 6100 help:

If there is a way to keep those choices AFTER install, I would recommend that for the newer installer.

Yes, this is an often requested feature that most users expect to happen. It's coming in a new installer version.

@stephenw10

I have now received what should be the correct NVME but I’m now no longer getting console.

I’ve raised a ticket with netgate to see if it’s recoverable.

Thanks for your help

You can get a 22.05 recovery image but that was the last version that built for it. You should still be able to upgrade to that too.

Sorry I typo'd one of the tags. I sent you a new config. I tested it here on a 7100 and it boots as expected.
