Netgate 7100-1U New NIC setup issues
-
@stephenw10 how would i restore from web gui does it have option to restore from usb ?Am i able to restore using my method to gain access to web gui when i put ix1 as lagg0.4090 and took off ixo as wan ? With you wan option would ix3 show up in assignments ?

Any method to get access to the webgui would work. You can just upload the file to restore from Diag > Backup/Restore in the webgui.
But once you restore it the config will change. You should still have access to LAN via Eth2-7.
ix3 will already be assigned as OPT3 and use the 192.168.208.200 address but you can then change any of that.

Console (or gui) factory reset replaces the config with the default config which doesn't take into account the NIC you added.
Restoring a config can be any config. So if you restore the config I sent you that should boot back up with access because I added in the NIC assignments allowing for the extra card.
The problem you are seeing is almost certainly outside pfSense. Simply assigning WAN as ix1 and LAN as ix3 should be sufficient.
So either the switch is doing something unexpected or the client isn't using it. The fact it pulled a lease from the ISP router suggests it's somehow connected to it directly. So either through the switch somehow or possibly wifi. -
For reference this is how the USB drive appears for me:
[24.03-RELEASE][root@7100.stevew.lan]/root: ls -ls /dev/da* 0 crw-r----- 1 root operator 0x89 Sep 29 22:59 /dev/da0 0 crw-r----- 1 root operator 0x8a Sep 29 22:59 /dev/da0s1 [24.03-RELEASE][root@7100.stevew.lan]/root: mount_msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt [24.03-RELEASE][root@7100.stevew.lan]/root: ls -ls /mnt total 72 72 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 70394 Sep 29 23:01 config.xml -
@stephenw10 so in web GUI i can upload the config file you sent me directly from pc instead of usb ?
-
Yes
-
@stephenw10
Yes all devices when i set only wan ix0
Lan ix3 devices conected to switch were pulling dhcp lease but not connecting-Once again i thank you for your patients and help I very much appreciate as i never had issues like this in past until the new card was installed.I will try to upload the config file through web GUI and let you know how it went -
@stephenw10 inhave question so if i reboot netgate router will that configuration i upload stay ?
-
Yes.
-
@stephenw10 i got into web GUI and tried to restore the config file but it failed with message an area to restore was selected but the correct xml tag could not be located ?what do i do it wont recognize the cofig file you sent me
-
@Sammy2Netgo i factory reset and got back into web gui -I took ix2 & ix3 off lagg0
So it shows up in assignments can you let me know how do i setup assignments that would work for my setup with external switch ?
Wan> ixo
Lan> ?
And do i need to set opt ?
Op1>
Opt2>
Opt3> -
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.
