      i have 2 pfsense boxes that form an IPsec vpn.  at my remote site, pfsense is running 1.0.1.  at my local site, its running 1.0-RC3.  my cacti graphing has been at my remote site since for quite a while, but im in the process of migrating it to my local site.  i currently have 2 mirrored cacti installs (one at each site) and this is the behavior im seeing:

      the remote site can get interface statistics from the inside interface of the local pfsense (1.0-RC3).

      the local site cannot get interface statistics from the inside interface of the remote pfsense (1.0.1).

      last night was when i deployed what will be my new cacti install, and when i imported all my graphs and logs, everthing came up fine, except the remote 1.0.1 box.  is this behavior intended?

      thanks,
      jonathan

        At the remote end check the following option at services>snmp:

        Bind to LAN interface only

        This option can be useful when trying to access the SNMP agent by the LAN interface's IP address through a VPN tunnel terminated on the WAN interface.

          well, ive not changed back to "up" yet, but snmp-get against it from this side appears to be working.  i would assume in another 4 minutes, he should be "recovering".

          thanks hoba :)
