ATT Uverse RG Bypass (0.2 BTC)
-
@bulldog5 is it possible that pfS is doing the tagging (how is pfS setup?) or that no tagging is required at your location? It's a bit odd because it looks like the switch is just passing traffic through on native VLAN without tagging (802.1q or p).
-
@t41k2m3 you have your MAC Address of your gateway set as your WAN interface in pfsense right?
-
@bulldog5 correct. is that all you did on your pfs and it's working?
-
When i was using the VLAN swap method; yes, I set my WAN interface to DHCP, and set the MAC Address to same as my gateway.
-
I've tried using the pfatt.sh script in supplicant mode, and I get the following No such file messages when I run it..
pfatt: starting pfatt...
pfatt: configuration:

@bulldog5 When you issue ngctl list, do you see igb1 in the list below?
-
No my ONT/WAN is igb1 and LAN is igb0
There are 5 total nodes:
Name: igb2 Type: ether ID: 00000003 Num hooks: 0
Name: igb3 Type: ether ID: 00000004 Num hooks: 0
Name: ngctl92076 Type: socket ID: 00000017 Num hooks: 0
Name: <unnamed> Type: socket ID: 00000007 Num hooks: 0
Name: snmpd Type: socket ID: 00000009 Num hooks: 0 -
@bulldog5 Well, i don't see igb1 in that list you posted. That's your problem.
-
right, so how does it get in that list? I configured the pfatt.sh script and ran it. those are the errors i get.
-
@bulldog5 You get: ngctl: send msg: No such file or directory because ngctl doesn't find igb1, not the other way around. I don't know why it doesn't show for you but in my virtualized setup, vmxnet3 adapters did not show but e1000e adapters show up in ngctl.

@GoldServe
figured it out, had to be done on a fresh pfsense startup. -
@bulldog5 you got it, script needs to run at bootup (either get the Shellcmd package or manually edit /conf/config.xml to run it at <earlyshellcmd> stage). At/after first boot, a few more adjustments may need to be made once ngeth0 is available.
@aus posted code and instructions on github, if you follow those steps, you should be good to go. Take a backup of your config.xml in case anything goes wrong and reimaging may be needed. Still confused how your connection was working before without netgraph and VLAN0 (didn't look like switch config you posted was doing that). -
Not sure, i never had any issues with that GS105 switch, i set the VLAN ID to 1 for 2 ports, ONT and PFs WAN, and the Supplicant method worked fine going through that switch without NG. That particular switch version ignores VLANID 0 which is why it works. Try setting your PFSense WAN to static assign your IP as a test and see if it works?
-
@t41k2m3
So i noticed that the config.xml clears the <earlyshellcmd> part out after the initial restart from me adding it. Does it need to only be run that one time for NG to be setup? What keeps supplicant running in the future? -
@bulldog5 I'm no expert but that does not sound right to me. Maybe you are placing it in the wrong part of the config.
The first time I did this with a manual edit I placed the command incorrectly, after </earlyshellcmd>, Note the slash. This is the END of the directive (or whatever it is called). It needs to be before that statement.
<earlyshellcmd>
/usr/local/bin/php-cgi -f /usr/local/bin/apply_patches.php
[your command goes here].
</earlyshellcmd>There is a pkg you can use, download the Shell Command package. It has an option to select early and you can use it to insert your command. Run it from the Services menu.
-
@bulldog5 similar observation as @JonH insofar as this is not expected behavior. Not sure what may be causing it in this case, however, the netgraph script needs to run at every reboot (if not, ngeth0 won't be available). Shellcmd package seems to work well and it makes it easy to add/delete scripts to run at different bootup stages, you might want to give that a try and see if that fixes the issue.
-
I have <earlyshellcmd>/conf/pfatt.sh</earlyshellcmd> right above the </system> line in the config.xml -- thats what the instructions say.
I'm familiar with the shell command pkg and have it installed/used it for the wpa_supplicant method. Just was curious why config.xml was clearing out this section after reboot.
-
Because manual edits of the config file are not guaranteed to be saved.
Use the shell command package.
-
@Derelict thought that config.xml did not get overwritten or recreated/changed at boot. is that incorrect (and if so, is the whole file reparsed or just certain sections)?
-
Manual edits outside the GUI are not supported. You can edit what is there if there is a supported configuration, but adding something like earlyshellcmd without the shell command package installed is just asking for trouble. Best to use the gui.
