PfSense USB3.0 supported ethernet adapter ?
-
Hello
can you help me finding an Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (if possible USB 3.0, otherwise a USB 2 would be okay, i need at least 200Mbit over this adapter).
My current board for the pfSense system only got 2 ethernet ports and i cant upgrade to a third one (but need it for dual wan).Thank you very much

Hi
Asix ax88179 is supported on pfsense 2.2 and works fine, Realtek chipset RTL8153 doesn't work for me.

I would not get your hopes up for any sort of stability or speed from a USB NIC.
Check the FreeBSD hardware notes to see what might work. You'll need to be on pfSense 2.2 for USB 3 ports to work.

hm, damn… my small case did not support an extensioncard - so i just can add some with pci/pci-e :(

You could always use a managed switch and VLANs as a port replicator of sorts.

Uhm, never tried this… my switch (TP-Link SG3216) should be able to do this...
do you have any good tutorial for this ? -
No good tutorial out there at the moment that I know of.
Basically:
- Tag VLANs on the port going to pfSense
- Setup an untagged port for each new VLAN on the switch
- Add VLAN tags in pfSense to correspond to those VLANs
- Assign the interfaces
- Configure them as you would any other physical interface
-
yea… i'm already using VLAN 1 and VLAN2 for seperating the two WAN from each other, but i dont know how to assign 2 vlan's to the same port, because this will be necessary to get both WAN at one LAN port :(

well… tried it and it seems to work.
Initial connections take some time currently, but maybe a dns issuehttp://www.speedtest.net/result/3987542490.png
max would/should be 260/20, but its okay
