PfSense on a Riverbed Steelhead
-
This is what my bios looks like, didn't run the commands other than kldload and smbmsg -p, the addresses i have were completely different to that post anyway.
ran ifconfig igb0 up and ifconfig igb1 up, nothing no relay clicks that i could hear.
also haven't heard anything other than the startup/shutdown beeps and the fans.
Also the nic lights don't go off after i run those commands, i also looked at the status from ifconfig it says no Carrier on igb0 and 1. -
@theorangefloof Hate to say it, but you might just have some bad hardware.
-
@okijames You are right. I found a cx-770.
Apparently, it should be able to hear the relay when turning the machine on, but was not heard on my previous cx-570. After I replaced the relays, those Nic worked fine.
This has nothing to do with proxmox or pfsense.

Nice troubleshooting!
-
@lemon-k What kind of relay did you replace?. My CXA-255 has "No Bypass" set up but the NIC still won't work. Thanks.

@pantigon
Hello, just wanted to know if you had any luck of finding a fix for bringing lan and wan interface up once the pfsense is up.
keep in mind I didn't see this behavior on 755 model just 255 model so far -
@TheOrangeFloof did you have any luck with this issue?
-
@KOTRz after some back and forwards with the seller he sent me a new board were he just removed the relays and just hard soldered the connections so the ports would work as NICs. He also tested it before sending it and I tested it again when I received the new board and pfsense worked fine then. I would of replied to the thread back them but it completely slipped my mine until I saw the email about the reply

That seems like cheating.

@stephenw10 I mean yeah it can be but hey it worked
-
@TheOrangeFloof Thx for the info
can we know more info about those relays and how to modify them so we get over this issue? -
@pantigon did you have any luck with cx255?
