When I installed the U250S I installed pfSense on a different machine and than moved the drive back into it.I already did and I just did it again.
I connected the 2 GB SSD to a SATA to USB adapter
I start on Pfsense with my Zalman VE300, select the 2GB SSD with partition in MBR, access commands and and I execute the command
poweroffI put the SSD back in the Stormshield, I start it, I have the Stormshield logo, then a black screen with the blinking cursor
_I have nothing via the console port.
I use the file : pfSense-CE-2.4.5-RELEASE-p1-amd64.iso
-
I installed in another device with a serial console using the serial memstick image.
But if you install on something from ISO you would have to first enable the serial console before you swap the SATA module back.Steve

Here's a return,
I managed to install pfsense 2.4.5 x64 last night.
The problem probably came from start-up mode (Legacy / UEFI).
On the PC, I forced the start of the installation of pfsense in legacy.
Pfsense has also started and I did a little configuration in

With that config you should be able to connect to pfSense in the one address it has. All 9 ports are in vlan1, it's configured like an unmanaged switch.
But you probably want to configure at least 2 VLANs so you van have, for example, WAN on port1 and LAN on ports 2-8.
Or you could have 8 VLANs with each port configured separately.

I'm back !
I successfully installed the image "pfSense-CE-memstick-2.4.3-RELEASE-amd64.img" with rufus on storage and still have a network port detected
-
I put back the version "pfSense-CE-memstick-2.4.5-RELEASE-p1-amd64.img" however the command "~~" does not work to exit the serial port
-
The escape command is
~~.To escape just the local console session it would be
~.but you are in a session inside that.You really need to be on the current version.

Hmm, weird. I will say the terminal only looks for escape characters immediately following a return. I usually hit return a couple of time before ending it to be sure.

Did you add the VLANs in pfSense on the internal interface?
Never use VLAN 1.
Here's how I have mine:

Hmm, been a long while since I configured that....
Ports 13 and 14 are the internal ports in the u250s. I have them as an LACP lagg.
Steve
-
Ok reviewing the untag all doesn't matter since it only untags member VLANs. In my case I don't have any mixed tagged/untagged ports so I could either.
You need to have port 9 a member of all the VLANs so it carries them tagged to pfSense.
The frame type needs to be 'all' since that port is carrying tagged and untagged traffic.
At least port 9 should be set to c-port or unaware so it tags for vlans.
Steve
-
I only have vlan 1 put on the em0 interface in WAN
On the internal interface? em0?
Internal ports? what does it correspond to?
I have port 9, I tried to put port 9 in "Frame Type : Tagged" and I lost control in ssh.
I didn't understand what "S-Port" and "C-Port" were
-
Yes em0 is the internal port, it's connected to port 9 on the switch.
It's frame type has to be 'all' because it's carrying tagged and untagged traffic in your setup.
Then you need to create the vlan interfaces in pfSense on em0.

I just reviewed my configuration based on what I planned

I have :
- ports 1 and 2 in VLAN 832 and 840 for the WAN (in trunk)
Port 1 is the operator WAN
port 2 is a LAN to the operator router WAN- ports 3 to 5 are the LAN - port 6 is for a DMZ (for a server)
- ports 7 and 8 are for a LACP with my manageable switch in trunk
On pfsense, I created VLAN 100, 101, 832 and 840 on em0 and I put em0.100 in WAN port and I connected my local network to one of the LAN ports (vlan 100)
-
Ports 1 and 2 will need to be a C-port or Unaware.
I think S-port is wrong for anything we are doing but on an untagged port it doesn't matter:
https://www.etherwan.com/support/faq/ethernet-switches/what-defines-vlan-trunk-modes-unaware-c-port-s-port-and-s-custom-port
That's probably based on the same switch chip family.That looks correct for LAN. Are you able to connect to pfSense on ports 3, 4 or 5?
Steve

I switched ports 1 and 2 to C-port

To explain what I want to do.
The operator network will arrive on port 1 with VLAN 832 (options 60, 77, 90, 125 must be sent by the DHCP client to obtain an IP) and 840 for television.
On port 2, I send the vlan 832 (with option 90, 119, 120, 125 by DHCP server) and 840 on the WAN port on the operator router.
I retrieve the LAN from the operator router (by disabling the DHCP server to use the pfsense DHCP server) to send it to the pfsense LAN ports (on the Stormshield SN300).
I created a network for myself a DMZ.
There will be NAT on port 1
-
Hmm, OK. Seems complex! I would start simple first.
You were able to connect over VLAN100 to pfSense?
Steve
-
This is why I would have liked to have the Stormshield ports directly seen by pfsense. From what I understand, there is a lack of driver and the driver does not exist.
Yes, I access the pfsense web interface via the vlan 100.
