The ifconfig output shows pfSense thinks fxp0 is not connected to anything while fxp1 is connected to something that apparently hasn't supplied a IP address.
If fxp0 is connected to something either the cable is broken or you should be using a cross over cable.
I suggest swapping over the cables at the pfSense box. If ifconfig then shows fxp0 status: active then its probably fair to conclude that both interfaces are working and you have a cable problem.
Since you have configured fxp0 as the LAN interface I suggest you work on getting fxp0 status: active and then verify you can connect to the pfSense web server. In that state, what is connected to fxp1? Does that need a cross over cable?

Hi, relating to my issue, I found that the Compact Flash card was faulty. I replaced it with a new one and it booted without error. You do Need a cross-over cable to configure it unless you plug it into a switch. The ports do not auto-sense for MDX. LAN 0 is fxp0 (LAN Port), and LAN 1 is fxp1 (going to be the WAN port). This lines up with what aclu said.
I have this working and would be glad to try and help others get their Contivity 1010 working. I do not have access to other Contivity units, just the 1010.

Acutally it had nothing do with hardware or cable i went rc1 with the same cables and had no issues whatsoever.

Hello, sorry for the long absence.
Unfortunately, I also have problems trying to install 1.2.3 RELEASE on my Nortel 1010. Hopefully I will have more time this weekend to make some extensive tests and find the solution. Until then I'll stick with 1.2.3RC1 wich works fine. -
I'm very happy to have found this top notch open source project. I was given 5 Nortel 1010s and a 1050 and they have languished for 2 years now while I managed to crack the passwords on 3 of them. As the passwords are burned into EEPROM, not even removing the batteries nor swapping the CF cards would get me into the rest. The most disappointing thing was after all that effort to successfully get into a few of them was the discovery of the brutally ugly configuration and the need for licensing to activate features.
Then I found m0n0wall which led me to this project. And this thread got my first Nortel 1010 up and running. Many thanks to all who contributed.
My experience is identical. Installed 1.2.3-RELEASE and was unable to get the ports running. Back tracked and installed 1.2.3-RC1 instead and everything works like a charm.
As I have 5 of these things I'll experiment further soon and see if 1.2.2-EMBEDDED works as well on another unit. If it does then can we assume some driver or library in the latest BSD release has been re-written to the detriment of the Nortel 1010s?
-
As a follow up to the last post I made I have now installed 1.2.2.-EMBEDDED, 1.2.3.-RC1 and 1.2.3-RELEASE and the only version to give any trouble is the latter, 1.2.3.-RELEASE. As stated above, the ports do not respond yet they continue to broadcast.
I went back to 1.2.2.-EMBEDDED until this can be addressed.
-
I picked up a few off fleabay.
Running 1.2.2 is kinda slow… Think ill try the 1.2.3RC11.2.3RC1 is much better... Seems stable at home will try it out till next weekend and try it out in a datacenter.
Any chance on making the LED go green when its fully booted? Or if there is a alert make the 2nd LED light up? Next to the console port.
*edit
ive put a 533mhz and it works great. just need more ram.- CPU: Pentium II/Pentium II Xeon/Celeron (534.55-MHz 686-class CPU)

just as a update mine is running pretty well.
i have 18 VM's few with some 'heavy' traffic (9megs better part of the day) with out any problems. I have it in transparent bridge mode id say about 100 lines for the rules.
-
any update from y'all?
