PfSense crashes with new NIC
-
Alright look my responses haven't been great but I'm here to learn about this stuff. So I'm sorry if I stepped on your high and mighty toes. You ran with the one sarcastic comment on my last post and that didn't get us anywhere. A simple explanation of why bridging is such a bad idea would benefit me and everyone else reading this. Sorry for being such an inconvenience to you. Or if you don't have time to repeat yourself save us both some time, find a forum post that would cover this, post the link, and yell at me for not searching hard enough.

…or YOU learn how to use the search function of the forum ;-)
It really comes up every second day, don't use the internal NICs of your pfSense in bridged mode as a switch. It usually results in problems. Save the money and buy cheap switches. Or use the NICs to segregate your network (Wifi, noisy stuff, like Apple and M$, family, home office, whatever).
Although these Cisco, Linksys, Asus plastic boxes usually are configured that way, avoid it with your pfSense box.

thank you. Yes I will take that criticism at this point.

They actually have built in hardware switches.
Your PC doesn't.
A quad card might LOOK like a switch but it ISN'T a switch. No ASICs, etc.

I correct me, we have the same discussion now at least daily

:-D
btw. I heard the Donald looked like an idiot last night, no clue what to do with health care or whatever. Maybe he REALLY is clueless when it comes to real politics?

Or maybe the federal government shouldn't be involved in such socialist schemes and what the federal government really needs is a CEO who knows how to be one.
-
No, a state doesn't need a CEO, cause it can't fire its citizens. It needs someone to lead a modern society, internally and externally. Donald is a clown for some freak show, but he can't rule a country with atomic weapons. I have more trust in Iran then in this guy… ;-) end of discussion
-
I do not need a CEO. The federal government employees do.

In normal we all awaiting constructive criticism, and we are all not really pleased about, if we
are only hearing some monotheistic repeating refrains like "don´t do that and don´t use this"
for sure I will consider to that point. But on the other way I must also really consider to the
standpoint of all other peoples, that "bridging ports" is only a use case for very experienced
network admins that knows to 100% when and where bridging must be done or is needed.
So in shorter words for all others of us, routing should the right way to be gone.As a golden rules for networking, you cold remind of this:
Route if you can and bridge only if you must.btw. I heard the Donald looked like an idiot last night, no clue what to do with health care or whatever. Maybe he REALLY is clueless when it comes to real politics?
Our Donald was tumbling down in earlier years to the deepest bottom, and rising again from their to the
highest top now, it is a hard way and really steep journey! So I really think he is a good guy and means it
in the right direction for his country, but sometimes also that he is not able to transport it to the masses as
he is meaning it really.
