Traffic Shaper Wizard No Interfaces Found
-
Having issues with being able to complete the traffic shaping wizard on 2.3-RC on a Netgate APU4 device.
When I select either wizard and enter 1 lan or wan connect the wizard reports "You have less interfaces than number of connections!".
Any ideas?
-
I also have the apu4 and unable to get traffic snapping working. In my case it's a bandwidth exceeds child or something like that.
-
That means the count you entered doesn't match what the system believes you have, in terms of shaping-capable interfaces.
If you don't have a gateway selected on a static IP address WAN (on Interfaces > WAN, that is), the system won't count it as a WAN, so it will say you don't have enough interfaces.
Similarly if you do have a gateway selected on a LAN (which you shouldn't!), then the shaper wizard will treat it as a WAN and say you don't have enough interfaces.
Lastly, if you have interfaces configured in a way that does not support ALTQ (e.g. lagg alone with no VLANs), those are not available as shaping interfaces, and are excluded from being counted.

Alright, so I also have this issue.
My configs are as follows:
Wan with static settings, has a set gateway, and works properly. (All the information that you have specified so far. :P )LAN (LAGG) With two VLAN's 1 and 1000, admin and guest (Not in use but they are there)
Still receiving the "You have less interfaces than number of connections!" notice.
Attached are the two connections configs.
Any other information you need please let me know. :)

Why does the WAN interface need to be set to static to be considered for Traffic Shaping?

That's not what he said. He said if WAN is static it needs to have a gateway set to be considered a WAN interface by the wizard.
You can get your WAN address/gateway via DHCP, etc, too.

My mistake - I read it wrong. Thanks for the clarification.
I think I'm having issues because I'm running pfsense inside a XenServer. I'm going to try and turn off pv nics and see if I have any luck.
-
If you are experiencing horrible throughput through pfSense on Xen then turning off PV NICs will fix it. But PV NICs on Xen don't have altq so that will certainly be a problem. My Xen lab stack has PV nics disabled.
-
I'm not having throughput problems currently - but maybe I'll get some additional benefit from not running pv. My main goal is to actually be able to use qos.
-
You can't do altq shaping with Xen PV NICs period.
