      Hi All,

      I have an XTM505 and an XTM330 which we've pulled from active service…. So now I have some new desk ornaments!

      Anyway, I've pulled the 505 apart and had aimed to see what pfSense can do for me. So I've thrown a new Kingston 4GB CF in with a 2GB image of "pfSense 2.3.4 NanoBSD" as I was hoping to run from the CF, however I seem to run into a somewhat inconsistent issue. If I reboot the device the CF seems to sometimes crap itself and I get dumped into a Single User Mode prompt (if it gets past POST) and errors when I try to remount the CF as R/W so then I need to reflash..... Hardly ideal.

      I do see errors like: "DMA limited to UDMA33, controller found non-ATA66 cable" when it does successfully boot, but other than that there's nothing out of the ordinary. I have dropped the original 1GB CF back in and that seems fine so I don't think there is a board issue. And the 4GB CF is new and seems to write and verify so I am a bit baffled as I wasn't really planning on dropping a HDD in it as I don't have a cradle spare.

      Has anyone else had similar issues or suggestions as to what may be causing the problem I'm all ears!

      Thanks in advance

      If you use the Kingston 4GB standard type, that's without doubt your cause of problems.
      These cards are so slow that they cause all kinds of ATA errors.
      Disabling UDMA will not help for this issue.
      I have seen this behaviour the first time on a x750e , and there was UDMA disabled and still ATA errors.
      Switching to another brand or use the 16Gb High Speed version of Kingston and your problem is vanished :-)

      Grtz

          Hi all,
          I have two XTM5 (505 and 515) with the BIOS:

          Vendor: American Megatrends Inc.
          Version: 080015
          Release Date: 02/03/2010

          and upgraded hardware on both:

          CPU: Intel E5800 @ 3.2 Ghz
          RAM: 2 GB
          SSD: 60 GB

          running on the latest pfsense 2.3.4-p1.

          I have configured the boxes for HA failover through CARP and with MultiWAN.

          While I was testing the failover, I recognized problem:

          When I pull a cable out of any of the em ports, Pfsense needs more than 5 Minutes to change the interface to down (both in the GUI DASHBOARD as well as on the Interfaces status page). However the port LEDs are switched off imediatelly.

          I found the following in the syslog:

          Aug 24 16:24:35 php-fpm[55068]: /rc.dyndns.update: MONITOR: WAN5_1GW is down, omitting from routing group WAN_GWG_654_LB 199.7.83.42|192.168.245.101|WAN5_1GW|17.248ms|4.241ms|24%|down

          Aug 24 16:31:24 kernel: carp: demoted by 240 to 240 (interface down)
          Aug 24 16:31:24 kernel: em4: link state changed to DOWN

          On the first entry (16:24:35), the Gateway goes down because of the disconnected cable.
          More than 6 Minutes later, at 16:31:24 the system changed the link state to down.

          On the fxp0 port, everything works fine.

          Anyone have an idea regarding what might be the problem?

          Kind regards

            Hmm, curious, I don't think I've ever seen that.

            Do you see that happen with all the NICs or just em4? Both boxes behave like that?

              This happens to both boxes on all em Ports.  :(

                Hmm, and you're actually pulling the cable from the port on the xtm5?

                What does ifconfig show for that port during that time?

                  On the WatchGuard XTM 5 motherboard do any of the pin-outs and or sockets support a VGA connector?

                  I have been looking on Google but nothing I see points to anyone investigating if a VGA connector can be connected to the motherboard or not.

                  Thanks,

                    It does have a VGA header, J9, on the rear left of the board. It's a 2mm pitch connector though like most of these boxes not the more common 0.1".

                    I've never tried it myself.

                        I took antother dump using a Raspberry Pi which had same sha256, so I'm pretty sure is got the dump right. Next I downgraded my BIOS to the mod'ed one… it works :)

                        I enabled PowerD, added the additional lines to the loader.conf file, added timecounter variable... but SpeedStep does not seem to work:

                        "CPU supports enhanced SpeedStep, but it's not recognized", also sysctl shows no freq_levels.

                        My CPU does support it (Pentium E5800). Has anyone got it working? Ís there anything that needs to be changed in BIOS? Would be happy to lower the power consumption this way. Powermeter meassures around 32-33W idle at the moment.

                          @blaxx:

                          Hi !

                          I don't know if this is a pfsense or XTM5 problem but I'll give it a try.

                          I have two XTM5 (510 and 525) with original BIOS and hardware except for hard drives that I have installed latest pfsense 2.3.4-p1 on. I have never used pfsense before so I installed it on these firewalls to see if it works. No changes are made on the config after first boot.

                          The problem is that after a couple of days both of the firewalls stops routing all traffic. Cant reach them from webgui and cant connect to internet at all anymore.
                          The only solution I've found is to pull the plug. After that it works for a couple of days again.

                          I read an old thread regarding a bug when using multicore cpu so I tried that fix by disabling all but one core but that didn't help.

                          Anyone have an idea regarding what might be the problem?

                          Kind regards

                          Stellan

                          So. I'm back now with the same problem again.
                          Since last time I've switched CPU, reinstalled pfsense from a new flashcard. This time it worked for nearly 14 days. 10 of these days with DSL connected to WAN and 1 pc direct connect to LAN0. The last four days the FW was only connected to DSL and nothin on LAN.

                          Today I connected a PC to LAN0 and no DHCP recieved. I can connect to console with consolecable trough Putty
                          I can ping both WAN and LAN interface and even google dns (8.8.8.8) via consolecable.
                          Can't reach webpages nor webinterface if I set static IP on PC.

                          Can anyone give me some tips to trace this problem?

                          Regards Stellan

                            Hmm, and you're actually pulling the cable from the port on the xtm5?

                            What does ifconfig show for that port during that time?

                            Steve

                            Yes, I am pulling the cable directly at the box.

                            That's the ifconfig output after pulling the cable:

                              This looks bad:

                              em0: Watchdog timeout Queue[0]-- resetting

                              Something is giving those interfaces a hard time.

                              @Billyboy

                              Hmm, I've never seen that before on any interface. It's hard to imagine what could allow the driver to report that as UP.

                                Expecting HW? Is there anything I can do trace the fault?
                                I found another user with the same problem as me but that thread doesn't seem to be solved.

                                  Do you have 'Hardware TCP Segmentation Offloading' disabled in System > Advanced > Networking?

                                  It should be disabled by default.

                                    Yes it is disabled. The config is default except for installation of LCDproc.

                                      Hmm, you might try some of the other tuning options here:
                                      https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Tuning_and_Troubleshooting_Network_Cards#Intel_igb.284.29_and_em.284.29_Cards

                                      You could also try:

                                      hw.em.num_queues=1

                                      or

                                      hw.em.msix=0

                                      Neither of which should be necessary really.

                                          Yeah that would probably work. I've never done that on that hardware but I've done similar things on other devices.

                                          Write the memstick-serial install image to a CF card and it should boot from that and allow you to install to HD. I'm not sure if it will try to boot CF or HD first with the default BIOS settings.

                                          You can write the BIOS using flashrom in pfSense.

                                            Hi all,

                                            one of my two XTM boxes surprisingly doesn´t start today.  When I power it up (with the power cord), the fans blow at 100%, some (not all) LEDs on the ports are flickering or blinking, nothing in the display, no beep, no boot, power button does not work. Serial connection does not work/show anything with 9600 nor 115200 8N1. (On the the other box it works, so no cable or software issue).
                                            Entering the Safe Mode does not work (as described by Watchguard https://www.watchguard.com/help/docs/wsm/xtm_11/en-us/content/en-us/backup_upgrade_recovery/recovery_procedures_c.html )

                                            Meanwhile I opened the box and disconnected the SATA SSD, still same behavior. All the five LEDs on the back of the mainboard are glowing, when power is connected.

                                            Any Idea? Does it need a reset? How?

                                            Any help appreciated, thx in advance!
