unable to access ips on vlan after changing Gateway/dns
-
@comet424 weird - so some sort of browser issue take it then.
So you did have the scroll bar at the bottom then.
edit: do you have hostname or description with long names - that seems to throw off the window sizing.. I have this roomba that name is really long - and think that is throwing mine off a bit, going to set it so that name is shorter and see if that clears mine up and gets rid of the scroll bar at the bottom.
-
@johnpoz
ya now i tested it on the 2 comps and 2 browsers... it seems pfsense is set frame work
is there anyway to make it expand here is screen shot of my browers shouldnt it expand it if it need to or is it ment to be centered and a fix width to display? a way that it resizes ot the widest part like a excel cell you can resize it to the biggest lines is it possible is it a setting or is it fixed and something i need to look for in future i didnt relase i had to do
-
i do have some long names but shouldnt the outside frame resize it by adding up all the cells and resizing?
-
@comet424 have never looked into it much - but sure there is a way to edit the css or something to be able to take up more of the browser width, etc.
I am going to change the name of my roomba see if that clears up the small amount of cutoff I am seeing. She is cleaning at the moment so when she finishes going to set the name to beata vs that long as name ;) That is what we call her, inside joke ;)
-
@johnpoz ah ok i appreciate it.. ya must be a css thing as if i have the Status/Dashboard page it takes up the full width of the browser... if its a css maybe it can be added to the next release of pfsense
i know the real experts of pfsense dont even notice they so experts u guys know
but for someone else i didnt even think of scrolling as when you have full blown screen u think you should be able to see
sorry if my disylexia gets best of me .. sounds good in my head.. doesnt always come out the same way
-
forgot to add you wanted to know where i learned about the + button i read it from google search
https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/pfsense-2-cookbook/9781849514866/ch02s03.htmlas i didnt even know about the ++power icon and trashcan before this... as i would copy and past the mac address from the arp table and then make a static ip for some of my devices.... so never even knew about it till i read that artitcle earlier.. so thats why i thought maybe it got removed but didnt realise i had to scroll the box
-
@comet424 didn't want to know where you learned about it - wanted to know where you specifically looking
So I changed couple of clients that were having really long names, my directv box and my irobot, now my scroll bar is gone on the bottom and not seeing any sort of cut off on the buttons.
-
@johnpoz
ah okand ok... so shorter names will fit in the box... but longer make ya scroll
so then its css maybe it can be requested css auto size like status/dashboard takes up the full page.. least for us not so advanced but above dumb as a rock level ( in the future release of pfsense... just a suggestion
and now you mentioning you have a robot to vacum.. i feel i need one lol.. on my list of things i could use... i need a Beta romba lol (: one less job for me to do lol
learn something new everday... saves me from doing Mac Address Copy and paste
-
@comet424 Beata, not beta ;)
I am sucker for techy toys.. My wife had gotten one for xmas a few years back - but it was a low end off brand model that just bounced around with no mapping or location info, etc.. It would always get tangled up with stuff on the floor - it use to love to suck up shoelaces hanging off shoes, etc.
Only way you could keep it from going somewhere was magnetic tape on the floor, etc.
So I somewhat recently updated to a irobot j7 model, has full mapping and camera function - so draws out a full map of your house, and you can just mark on the map where you don't want it to go, or you can set areas so I can tell it to go clean the guestroom or kitchen for example via alexa.. And hasn't gotten stuck on anything, hasn't sucked up any shoe laces.. Now it doesn't go under the couch that the old one use to always get stuck under (marked under the couch as no go zone on the map)..
If it runs into stuff while its working that it is not sure off - get a review with pictures in the app on my phone asking is this a temporary obstacle or perm, etc after its done. So it can adjust its mapping.. Other then the bin getting full, it loves to suck up fiber from the carpets that fill up the bin quickly. Other than pretty happy with it. And vs just bumping around it actually cleans an area with a pattern so it doesn't miss any spots, etc.
If it hasn't finished the job, and gets low on charge its smart enough to go to its little charging base, and then continue where it left off when it gets enough juice.. I should of gotten the one were it can empty itself in the charging base when it gets full - but its pretty tall base and from what reading sounds like a jet taking off when its empty itself - and had no where to hide such a base. Its current base fits under the tv stand, so it goes home and you can not even see it, etc.
Like a said I am a sucker for techy stuff ;) the mapping feature is pretty freaking slick to be honest.. Now if I could just get to get me a cold beer ;) hehehe
-
@johnpoz lol thats pretty sweet.. well in the 80s we had toys r us selling that robot tht would goto the fridge and bring you a drink was that white robot... always wanted that as a kid lol...
what you need also is irobot if the kids dont pick up there toys and you tell them to pick it up... the robot sucks it up and shreds it like a paper shredder... and you tell the kids well you should have listened..
or you need battle bot.. like Tombstone that cleans... it trashs everything and then boom u need more tech stuff lol (: although everytime it cleans up its gonna get expensive but you wanted a new couch and bed anyways lol
id like to get those outdoor irbot style lawn mowers.. but my property too big on a farm.. to cut.. and too expensive i could use like 5 or 6 lol then no need to mow the lawn the robot can
-
@comet424 there was someone on here that had one of those lawn mower robots.. Yeah looked slick as hell - would love to get one. But doing the math - just not cost effective.. Have to see if I can find that old thread, but the roi was going to be like years compared to what I currently pay the landscapers to do ;)
edit: here is that thread where the lawn mower robot came up
-
oh thats pretty cool...ya i see canadian tire sells them 2000 for one lol frig.. and it be dead trying to mow part of my lawn lol
i looked into converting a riding mower to be anotomos but people havent gotten them perfect yet.... but be nice... sit back and let the riding mowers do it..
and for 2k i might as well buy a riding mower.. these things i cant hook up a trailer on the box of these... if i won the lottery and 2k was like a penny then i wouldnt care lol

question since you love tech alot you may know... i curious are there any routers that can do 2 vlans and lan say
so id like to have my LAN and IoT Devices use Wifi.. but i dont wanna buy like 2 routers.. one for LAN to do devices like cell phone or my laptops.. and then second one for for Iot that i block internet and lan...
reason is i looking to get like 3 mesh routers in my house and shop outside of the house so this way it cover things
but if i have 3 for IoT and id need 3 for my Lan devices..
so id need 6but my question is there any say router that can take in 2 Lan ports from the router one dishes out Iot Vlan section and 1 for the Lan . like a smart switchs do.. or not possible and basiclly you need 6
was just thinking as on my routes.. or is there powerful routers that can cover like 3 mesh router ranges... figured id ask since u love tech and maybe youd know
cuz what id like is
LAN IOT and Guest Network off 1 wifi router.. if possible but dunno if it can be done
-
@comet424 You won't need another router, just a switch (or more) that can handle the amount of devices you have.
I had, upgraded the machine with more physical interfaces, 5 vlans on my pfSense. Some people have double that.
As long as you have a vlan capable switch, you're good. -
@jarhead ^ exactly all that is needed is at least 1 interface on pfsense and vlan capable switch and you can create as many vlans as you want.
If you want to do multiple vlans on wifi networks - best to get a AP that is capable off that, some wifi routers you can run 3rd party firmware on and do it. dd-wrt or openwrt supports vlans as long as the hardware of the wifi router does. Or just buy AP that support - unifi APs are pretty popular around here. I have 3 of them - they work great.
-
@johnpoz ah ok so a unifi router can support like multiple vlans
like the mitok switch i have does support vlans... and now i wanna have a wifi for lan devices like cell phones or my laptops that arent hard wired... and another wifi for the IoT devices the way i been doing it is where i use the 192.168.0.1-254 range ad segmented a section to do iot and lan and dmz say..
so would you then then Trunk from the smart switch to the AP Unifi router ap and then it knows which devices... like do you setup a seperate Wifi login password for each vlan?
and which unifi ap is good one.. i have heard of them i dunnohow to use them as i did watch a video years ago they hard to use etc...
-
and whats better then unifi or the ddwrt and if you look on amazon .ca can u tell me which router or AP ud recommend that would work as i havent kept up in routers for years if it last me 10 yrs i ok with them so i dont upgrade often anymore
-
@comet424 said in unable to access ips on vlan after changing Gateway/dns:
ike do you setup a seperate Wifi login password for each vlan?
Yeah you normally setup different ssids for the different vlans - but you could get fancy and do dynamic vlans after an auth to say radius..
-
@johnpoz ah ok cool so your not limied to just 1 like on the asus or dlink or tplink ones i have
i did try looking up the unif but didnt see where you can do multiple vlans
do all the unif allow this? and whats better dwrt or unif? -
@comet424 said in unable to access ips on vlan after changing Gateway/dns:
i did try looking up the unif but didnt see where you can do multiple vlans
Did you look at the summary page for say the U6-lite, one of their popular models currently
https://store.ui.com/collections/unifi-network-wireless/products/u6-lite-us
BSSID 8 per radio
VLAN 802.1QI am not aware of any of their models that don't support vlans.. I have 3 different models of their older wifi 5 models, the pro, the lite and the LR.. And before that I had one of their first models that all supported multiple vlans. I currently have 4 different SSIDs running on mine, all on different vlans.
As to what is better dd-wrt, I would say the unifi are true APs.. the dd-wrt is 3rd party firmware to run on soho wifi routers. While it can vastly improve the feature set over native firmware. Your still at the mercy of the hardware, not saying some soho hardware is not fine. But unifi AP are designed to be actual AP.. they are all powered by poe, so you can proper mount them where a AP belongs, etc.. I would never ever go back to running soho wifi routers as my wifi APs..
