ATT Uverse RG Bypass (0.2 BTC)
-
I had a number of issues with getting this to work. I had the same behavior (worked for an hour then quit) when I ran the script manually using the bypass method in esxi.. However, after having pfatt.sh start up as an early shell command in pfsense, and doing a reboot, things appear to be stable.
I did take out all references to ngeth in the script since vmware is doing the VLAN0 stripping and replaced them with em0. And I prefixed the cert files with a /cf so the files had the right absolute file name.
-
Folks, now that I have the supplicant method working well and virtualized pfsense talking to the ONT directly, I would like to enable it to failover to a different ESX host so that when I do ESXi host upgrades I don't have to take Internet downtime. This was impossible before with ethernet devices in passthrough mode.
Now, I have unifi switches, but I don't think I can use them to create a separate VLAN that connects the ONT to the two different hosts because they process 802.1x messages in the switch. Is that right?
So should I use one of the cheap netgear switches mentioned earlier in the thread and will vmotion etc... work if I share the ONT port that way?
Thanks!

@andrew_241 I don't know if you resolved it but from this log it seems you might be having some issue with ngctl. Try running some of the commands from "resetting netgraph" section but without ">/dev/null 2>&1" and see if those commands also give you errors. Also see if you can run "ngctl list" command and let us know what it outputs.
-
@MonkWho I'm having the same issue as andrew_241. I've attached a screenshot of a ngctl list command and the "restting netgraph" commands. The other screenshot displays the console errors when -s is added to WPA_DAEMON_CMD. I had to CTRL-C to get to a command prompt to run the commands. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

Folks, if you are trying to get the pfatt.sh supplicant model configuration to run under vmware which is taking care of the VLAN0 issue, here is the configuration I am using with em0 as the WAN interface (I hardcoded em0 there, so look for all instances of em0 if you need to use a different interface). I have removed all the ngeth references as that is not needed anymore.
Works great, super reliable and no gateway needed anymore in supplicant mode.
Attached.

It sounds like there is something strange going on with netgraph on your server. I'm not really an expert in it.
Try running "kldstat -v" and see is these are on the list:
netgraph
ng_ether
ng_eiface
ng_one2many
ng_vlan
ng_etfAlso try running "ngctl list" and see if there are any issues with the nodes on the list.

Count me as yet another user with bridge working and supplicant not. I'm running 2.4.5-p1 on bare metal. I've verified my certificates, verified my paths, and stepped through the supplicant code in pfatt.sh manually. wpa_cli shows CONNECTING and then FAILED.
To confirm, has anyone reported a working supplicant configuration without virtualization? I've tried on my Intel 82576 and I217-LM cards. I may take some time to spin up ESXi and virtualize pfSense to get around keeping the RG plugged in.
-
@Selcouth You should be able to confirm a working config by connecting the ONT to pfsense by way of a dumb switch (t o filter out the vlan 0 tags). ONT goes to one port, pfsense's wan goes to another.
-
@Selcouth I'm running supplicant mode on an SG-5100 on 2.4.5-RELEASE-p1 (amd64). I purchased the certificates from maczrcool on eBay and followed the guide in the README in the supplicant branch of MonkWho's pfatt fork: https://github.com/MonkWho/pfatt/tree/supplicant
-
@bk150 It looks like that method is funneling all wan traffic through ngeth0 for the vlan0 tagging. First off are you able to attain full line speed (during speed tests)? Is the pfsense cpu usage very high during this event?
-
@GPz1100 Here is a result from just a few moments ago:
Here's a screenshot of CPU usage and load average on the system during the test:
-
I wonder if the usage would be that high if a dumb switch was placed inline in between ont and pfsense wan?
-
@GPz1100 I'm not authenticating with a dumb switch in line either. I must have some other problem. Maybe I'll start fresh to double check everything.
-
@GPz1100 I'll find a day/evening when my girlfriend doesn't need internet and try the dumbswitch method. I can post my results back here

Hello All.
I am able to get this script working via bridge mode, but having issues getting it to work via supplicant mode. It is running on bare metal.The script seems to hang at "Waiting EAP for authorization"
I have root and wheel group full permission to the 3 certs. I got them from ebay and converted them into the correct format using some tools suggested online. Is there anything easy I could be missing? Been through the guide multiple times but cannot seem to figure it out thus far.
I have checked the configuration inside pfatt.sh multiple times and appears to be correct.

i following this thread with lot of interest

I had the same issue as above with the 'no such file or directory' errors and resolved it by adding the following lines in the pfatt.sh script around line 144:
/usr/bin/logger -st "pfatt" "attaching interfaces to ng_ether..."
/usr/local/bin/php -r "pfSense_ngctl_attach('.', '$ONT_IF');"The lines were added right after:
/usr/bin/logger -st "pfatt" " ONT---[] [$ONT_IF]$HOST"I had to set the WAN interface back to ngeth0, but after a reboot, I was getting an IP address and was able to browse the net. Hope this helps.

@Dade I realize you posted this a long time ago, so sorry for bringing this up again. I also have ATT with 5 extra static IPs (/29). I made another lan interface and assigned the "Gateway IP" from ATT to this interface. I don't have any problem using 1:1 NAT to assign public IPs to specific devices on my LAN.
I am also using the static "Gateway IP" from ATT as the IP address for a VPN server--which works except for one thing. My ATT static Gateway IP is 75.xxx.xxx.78. My dynamic ATT IP is 68.xxx.xxx.29. I can connect to the VPN using the address 75.xxx.xxx.78, but while connected to this VPN, if I google "what is my IP address" the response is 68.xxx.xxx.29, when it should be 75.xxx.xxx.78.
Using your method, were you able to resolve this? Either way, could you describe the firewall/NAT rules that you used?
Thanks!
-
@Ican-treadorwrite The IP you're going to see on a "what's my IP" query is going to be the NAT IP that applies to that traffic. You'll have to create a new NAT rule ONLY for the internal IP addresses of your VPN clients specifying that that specific IP (your static IP) is the "NAT address" for that traffic.
