@stephenw10 Thank you.
Everything worked. -
I stephenw10,
sorry for the late reply, I was on business.
My etherswitchcfg shows this:
[23.01-RELEASE][root@pfSense.home.arpa]/root: etherswitchcfg etherswitch0: VLAN mode: DOT1Q port1: pvid: 110 state=1<DISABLED> flags=0<> media: Ethernet autoselect (none) status: no carrier port2: pvid: 120 state=1<DISABLED> flags=0<> media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex>) status: active port3: pvid: 130 state=1<DISABLED> flags=0<> media: Ethernet autoselect (none) status: no carrier port4: pvid: 140 state=1<DISABLED> flags=0<> media: Ethernet autoselect (none) status: no carrier port5: pvid: 150 state=1<DISABLED> flags=0<> media: Ethernet autoselect (none) status: no carrier port6: pvid: 160 state=1<DISABLED> flags=0<> media: Ethernet autoselect (none) status: no carrier port7: pvid: 170 state=1<DISABLED> flags=0<> media: Ethernet autoselect (none) status: no carrier port8: pvid: 180 state=1<DISABLED> flags=0<> media: Ethernet autoselect (none) status: no carrier port9: pvid: 1 state=1<DISABLED> flags=1<CPUPORT> media: Ethernet 2500Base-KX <full-duplex> status: active port10: pvid: 1 state=1<DISABLED> flags=1<CPUPORT> media: Ethernet 2500Base-KX <full-duplex> status: active vlangroup0: vlan: 1 members 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 vlangroup1: vlan: 110 members 1,9t vlangroup2: vlan: 120 members 2,10t vlangroup3: vlan: 130 members 3,10t vlangroup4: vlan: 140 members 4,10t vlangroup5: vlan: 150 members 5,10t vlangroup6: vlan: 160 members 6,10t vlangroup7: vlan: 170 members 7,10t vlangroup8: vlan: 180 members 8,10tWhat should I do next?
-
All the ports are in state DISABLED so the script did not set them to FORWARDING correctly.
Otherwise it looks good.
-
This is the script:
#!/bin/sh # echo "Configuring switch..." logger Configuring switch... etherswitchcfg config vlan_mode DOT1Q etherswitchcfg vlangroup1 vlan 110 members 1,9t etherswitchcfg vlangroup2 vlan 120 members 2,10t etherswitchcfg vlangroup3 vlan 130 members 3,10t etherswitchcfg vlangroup4 vlan 140 members 4,10t etherswitchcfg vlangroup5 vlan 150 members 5,10t etherswitchcfg vlangroup6 vlan 160 members 6,10t etherswitchcfg vlangroup7 vlan 170 members 7,10t etherswitchcfg vlangroup8 vlan 180 members 8,10t etherswitchcfg port1 pvid 110 etherswitchcfg port2 pvid 120 etherswitchcfg port3 pvid 130 etherswitchcfg port4 pvid 140 etherswitchcfg port5 pvid 150 etherswitchcfg port6 pvid 160 etherswitchcfg port7 pvid 170 etherswitchcfg port8 pvid 180 echo "done" logger doneDo I need some forwardings too?
-
Yes all the switch ports are disabled by default, you still need the section to set each port to forwarding. You might be able to combine that with the pvid. I've not tried that in one command.
-
Ok, now it looks like this:
etherswitch0: VLAN mode: DOT1Q port1: pvid: 110 state=8<FORWARDING> flags=0<> media: Ethernet autoselect (none) status: no carrier port2: pvid: 120 state=8<FORWARDING> flags=0<> media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex>) status: active port3: pvid: 130 state=8<FORWARDING> flags=0<> media: Ethernet autoselect (none) status: no carrier port4: pvid: 140 state=8<FORWARDING> flags=0<> media: Ethernet autoselect (none) status: no carrier port5: pvid: 150 state=8<FORWARDING> flags=0<> media: Ethernet autoselect (none) status: no carrier port6: pvid: 160 state=8<FORWARDING> flags=0<> media: Ethernet autoselect (none) status: no carrier port7: pvid: 170 state=8<FORWARDING> flags=0<> media: Ethernet autoselect (none) status: no carrier port8: pvid: 180 state=8<FORWARDING> flags=0<> media: Ethernet autoselect (none) status: no carrier port9: pvid: 1 state=8<FORWARDING> flags=1<CPUPORT> media: Ethernet 2500Base-KX <full-duplex> status: active port10: pvid: 1 state=8<FORWARDING> flags=1<CPUPORT> media: Ethernet 2500Base-KX <full-duplex> status: active vlangroup0: vlan: 1 members 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 vlangroup1: vlan: 110 members 1,9t vlangroup2: vlan: 120 members 2,10t vlangroup3: vlan: 130 members 3,10t vlangroup4: vlan: 140 members 4,10t vlangroup5: vlan: 150 members 5,10t vlangroup6: vlan: 160 members 6,10t vlangroup7: vlan: 170 members 7,10t vlangroup8: vlan: 180 members 8,10tI am going ahead and give it a try!
Thank you from here! -
Hmm, probably should remove VLAN1 from the switch. That's interesting, I guess that must be a default. You could probably just change the vlan groups you're defining to start at 0 so it gets replaced. However it won't affect anything since the PVID on the ports is set something other than 1.

It works fine for now. I didn't connect everything at the moment. But I am able to connect now, receiving IP and can organize the VLANs.
As next I need to configure pfsense. Will take some time. thanks guys -
sorry to start the topic again.
I got an m270 and installed pfsense on it. I have inserted the hints for the switch but I can't insert the scripts, keeps throwing me an error No such file or directory when run comand chmod +x for sript
I new and sory for my english -
You need to create those files.
How are you running those commands exactly?
-
@stephenw10 I downloaded one file from the system that has the extension "sh" and modified it with the script gave in previous posts, after which I transferred the file to the "/usr/local/etc/rc.d/" folder. After saving, I tried to start the shell both via the console and via the guia, but it threw out the above error. I writen script in notepad++. I'm a beginner when it comes to these things, so I apologize for some banalities.
-
Ok I assume you mean the switch configuration script as shown here?: https://forum.netgate.com/post/990474
You should create that file not add the code to a existing script.
In my setup I run that script using a shellcmd not via rc.d.

hi, i'm running the M270 too, it works when i switch the ports to forwarding "etherswitchcfg port# forwarding", but it loos the information after rebooting. after the reboot, the ports are disabled
-
In my setup, I'm running the script @startup in Cron.
-
@reiter_f said in pfSense on Watchguard M270:
but it loos the information after rebooting. after the reboot, the ports are disabled
Yes the switch is reset to defaults at boot. You have to reconfigure it at boot each time. It's easiest to do that using a script.
-
@stephenw10
ha, there is no default config
file that you are able to write in? i'm a little bit confused of this strategy,. because there is no ROM storage or something like that..... do you know where the config ist writen temporaly?
how do i link the skript to the boot config, that it will run automatical at booting? ... the best would be to Clean all switch-configs before running the skript... -
When the switch is powered on it comes up with all the ports disabled by default. That's how the switch chip has been configured in hardware.
There are several way to run a script. As discussed above I use a shellcmd to do it.
-
@stephenw10 I created a file with the script that was given before, but it gives me the above problem when I want to run the command. could you (if you are able) write how it is formed exactly and started, I looked for it on the forum but I didn't succeed. Thank you
