PFS on a checkpoint 2200

There may be some optimising you can do but you won't get 1Gbps from a D525 if that's what it is.
What NICs does it have?Steve

I traced the mac but returns that is from checkpoint. Is there a way on pfsense to see the hardware ID or hardware description?
I will dig to see what I can find.

I found a way.
em5@pci0:7:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x000015bb chip=0x150c8086 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = '82583V Gigabit Network Connection'
class = network
subclass = ethernetSo the nics are Intel. What I can do to optimize the firewall?
Thanks

Well, installed the 64bit version of pfsense and did some tuning and now I get 506/522. the upload has gone as high as 846! But bounces a lot. I think this is as far it can go.
-
That probably is about all you can expect from a D525 with em NICs.
It does depend how you're testing to a large degree. As you've seen sites like speedtest.net can prove inaccurate especially at high speeds like you have access to (no jealously here! ;)).
You might try a 2.4 snapshot that has newer drivers from FreeBSD 11 but I doubt much will have changed in em.

I've also installed pfsense on this appliance and i had a celeron 440 2ghz. Guess it will perform about the same as the D525 so I did a test and swapped it to a Core2duo E6600 2,4ghz (dual core) and it booted fine.
It will probably draw some more electricity since it has a higher TDP etc. but i guess it will be capable to make some more throughput. (I do not have a gigabit line so i dont know how to test this :))

@poluket hello can you share the document setup with me for check point t110, the attached zip file is not working.
-
What have you tried? How did it fail?
-
@stephenw10 check point t110 a pfsense can be installed? can you share documents.
-
@stephenw10
Unable to download zip file in this post. -
Unfortunately that file failed to import when we changed forum software and that user hasn't been online for over a year.
What I meant was what have you tried to install pfSense on the T110 and how did it fail?

@stephenw10 I'm thinking of buying a check point t110 so I want to know if pfsense can be built.

Don't waste money on ancient hardware.
-
@Grimson but the new hardware is very expensive so I want to know if it can install t110.

Even the SG-1100 is likely to perform better, and it's not really that expensive.
-
It's really old at this point. It would have to be very cheap or something that you are doing for the experience in my opinion.
But you probably can install to it. Checkpoints other devices were not locked to prevent it on those I have seen. You may well need to swap out the boot media, I have no idea what that boots from but Nano no longer exists since this thread was started.
