pfSense won't get IP from Frontier Fiber.

Okay so I have 2 Protectli FW4 boxes one has the 1G connections and the other has the 2.5G. I reconfigured the 1G box for version 2.7 since the 2G box was working on OPNsense. I see that the 1G box has as a different problem related to the hardware VLAN tagging so I will re-configure the 2G box on v2.7 which has the igc NICS and see how that works... I didn't realize the box with the 1G NICs had a different problem that upgrading wouldn't fix. Never a dull moment!

Well you can still test usefully by disabling hardware VLAN filtering on that NIC. For example:

ifconfig igb0 -vlanhwfilter

See: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/12821

I'm up and running on my Protectli FW4C with 2.5G NICs using the latest dev version. Speedtest is showing 1200Mbps down and 1600Mbps up on my 2G service.

Will try out disabling the VLAN filtering on the FW4B tomorrow.

Thanks!
