Hmm, that's odd. So dhcp offers from pfSense are not being correctly distibuted through Cisco switches but do through others. Also DHCP works correctly through the Cisco equipment using a different dhcp server?
I can't believe that pfSense dhcpd differs much from other routers.

use portfast command on access interfaces

Did it help? ;)

Sorry - I took a break - but this looks promising…
I can do that in the lab on the 3750.... and see if this works...
I forgot about portfast....Thanks for the reply and I will try this later and update...
It still does'nt make sense on the unmanaged cisco/linksys but i will try on the 3750 and see if this makes a difference... This will shed some light on this.
The 3750 was defaulted with write erase and works like a regular switch.Thanks for the reply...

Hi…
int fa/1/0/1
spanning-tree portfast
No Joy Yet...
Port is not trunked either...We have all our templates at work and copying these into our production switches...
I took a lot for granted as our production engineers work the templates - It still is not working...
I will have to break out my CCNA books and start working this.I can plug into my cable modem and plug my pc in and the 3750 switch and it will work.
With the Watchguard x700 pfsense plugged into the 3750 all that happens is the port light on the WG blinks at me..... (ack)
( setting up this box has been a learning process ! ) :) -
Were you using vlans in that port? If not then portfast is good.

Hi…
Update - no vlans...
The issue is hardware related.
I put the hard drive in my second x700 and all is well.
I plugged into the 3750 Cisco switch and all is well...
When looking at the serial interface you could see the port shutting off and back on in the console.
My other x700 does not have this symptom and works just fine in the 3750 Cisco switch...
(head banging has stopped - thank you!)Thank you all for your suggestions as I just had to keep at this until the solution finally decided to show itself.
Best Regards;

Seems unusual. ???
So did you try all 6 ports? Seems unlikely to have all 6 with the same fault. Did you check the jumpers that disable the ports? I guess it couldn't be disabled since it worked when connected directly. :-\

Hi Steve…
I am pulling the Kingston memory and my guess there is something going on there. This x700 also has an upgraded used pIII processor so I may even have to look at that and put the OEM celeron back in if the symptom does not stop with the memory.
I am building a drive copy off the working x700 and will retest this x700 again with the OEM memory to see if that changes anything.
No, the symptom is not on all ports... And somehow this was all working on the dlink switch prior to this "On off" issue... which was really confusing. I thought this box was completed and went to the customers business to install and then the fun began. It would not pass DHCP on his unmanged Cisco switch. Since bringing the box back to my lab it is getting worse so will have to test the OEM mem and processor to see if this clears up.
When you see this port issue happen there is no link light on the Cisco 3750 switch port and in the serial console you can see the port going up on down on the x700 re1. It started acting up and then with no link light and then shutting off and on.
I moved this hard drive to my second x700 and it runs fine when installed.
My guess is the memory. Will update later.
Thx...H.
