OPT Interface - No Network

OPT as a WAN!!!
Did you actually setup a gateway IP when you setup the interface? How did you put the IP on the interface?
-
No, no GW set.
I went to assign, assigned re2 which gave my OPT, selected that from interfaces - selected Static IPV4 - hit Save, then configured DHCP.
-
Well that is just log of script checking if it should do something when it sees new interface come up... Here I unplugged and plugged in one of my pfsense interfaces..

Well, heres a result for you....
I just switched the interaces!
LAN to RE2 and OPt to RE1....
Ive plugged directly into what is now LAN and its working perectly. So its not a card or cable ault!
-
status so far:
Opt1 working but LAN is showing N/A when it should show my LAN IP
-
Ok, network is completely down.
Switch interfaces back after test, now my system doesn't boot.
Will reinstall pFsense.
-
And what hardware is this running on btw?
Freebsd/Pfsense have not always had the best of luck with realtek nics on a bit of a side note ;)
-
Its a custom built ATOM box - with TP-Link NIC's, up to now I have not had any issues!! the box has been in production for over a year!
-
Be sure to test the other NIC when you make changes like this. Adding a new NIC with the same driver type may change the interface order.

All 3 nics have been in the machine for quite a while, but OPT has never been used before - Now im implementing it. Ive just switched RE1 & 2 to test the card, and then switched them back - that has broken the box completely!
IM downloading pfsense now to do a clean install.

That use the realtek driver? your nics are re0 and re1, etc. re is realtek
What are they like TG-3468 ?
-
Im not entirely sure which model they are without taking the box apart.
My LAN Interface is a TP-Link and thats been fine!
-
Run
pciconf -lv, check they are actually the same chip.Steve
-
@stephenw10 well, right now the system wont boot!!
Its stuck in a reboot loop!
Im downloading pf now to reload.

Hmm, well I'd certainly expect re1 and re2 to behave the same there then.
-
OK clean install, still the same!
Ive ordered a dual Intel NIC off of ebay so will see how that goes, I've been meaning to get multiport cards anyway. Ive got loads of PCI-E cards kicking around but no PCI, otherwise I would have just swapped cards out.
Thanks for your assistance.
-
I didnt get it to work, even after A Clean install.
-
And it's just whichever card is configured as OPT1 does not work? Weird.
-
@stephenw10 Seems that way, have ordered Intel 1000 Pro card see if that works!
