You can't create an alias or firewall rule with a hostname in 1.2.3 You can do that too. :) doesn't update automatically though, have to cron a ruleset reload. 2.0 handles it very nicely. Hmm.. so what am I missing? When trying to create an alias with a host name, I get an error when I use either the Host(s) or Network(s) type. If I try to create a rule, set the source type to Single host or alias and type in a hostname for the address, I get an error, too. Good to know 2.0 will be able to handle this nicely, though as it does come in handy on occasion...

[pfSense Support] install pfsense from usb stick
Hello, I've searched google and the forum but couldn't find a working answer, so I thought I'd ask here. Is it possible to install the full version of pfsense from USB stick in stead of from a cdrom ? I'm asking because I'm installing a fair share of pfsense boxes regularly, and I never have an empty CDR at hand. I normally do have plenty of USB sticks with me. I usually install debian or ubuntu from usb stick by converting the install ISO to a usb stick by using the ubuntu startup disk creator tool. However, that doesn't seem to work with the pfsense ISO. (not a real suprise but it didn't hurt trying) Next, I tried UNetbootin, which gave me partial success. (It seems like a very nice usb boot disk creator tool for all kinds of purposes) Simply converting the pfSense iso to usb stick didn't seem to boot, but creating a default FreeBSD 7.2 boot stick works and boots up to the freebsd installer. Thinking I was almost there I copied the contents of the pfsense install ISO into the root of the working FreeBSD 7.2 usb boot stick (overwriting all existing files) hoping this would make the usb stick boot to the pfsense installer. However, no joy... it still boots the original FreeBSD 7.2 installer. My first guess is there is a config file somewhere that tells the boot process which installer to start after setting up a minimalistic environment. Being more of a linux guy myself, I don't have enough FreeBSD knowledge to know what I need to change to make it run the pfsense installer. Could anybody tell me what would be the next step ? I'm sure this would be a very useful entry in the pfsense online documentation as well, since I found quite a lot of people online asking the same question but never found a working procedure. Thanks! Regards, Hans - To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
Re: [pfSense Support] install pfsense from usb stick
The 2.0 snapshots include a usb image. Installing 1.2.3 from usb will be a bit of a trick, as you have learned. db

No need to make one yourself. 2.0 includes them already. I made one for 1.2.3. It's not official of course but it works. http://cvs.pfsense.org/~jimp/pfSense-1.2.3-usbinstall.img.gz Jim - To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
[pfSense Support] Weird DHCP issue with multiple VLANS
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, Got a weird DHCP issue. I have several VLANs setup on my pfsense box. One is my desktop VLAN, one is my guest wireless VLAN. These both hand out DHCP addresses just fine (to physical hosts and virtual machines). I am now trying to use DHCP on a third VLAN. Going to put my DMZ virtual machines in this VLAN. DHCP traffic never gets to the firewall. I see it in the VM and on the host. Bridging is setup correctly etc. I don't even see ping traffic hitting the interface when I ping it. # ifconfig vlan3 vlan3: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST metric 0 mtu 1500 options=3RXCSUM,TXCSUM ether 00:1a:a0:5c:2e:87 inet6 fe80::21a:a0ff:fe5c:2e87%vlan3 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0xa inet 10.10.7.1 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 10.10.7.255 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex) status: active vlan: 5 parent interface: bge0 # Doing tcpdump -qni vlan3 and requesting a DHCP address or pinging the interface, no traffic shows up. However the ping succeeds. I have DHCP enabled for the interface, don't have deny unknown clients enabled. Have a static mapping setup for the lease I want to hand out. Any ideas?
