[pfSense Support] pfSense 2.0 RC1 and igb0 LRO disabling
From a quick look the sysctls most people suggest disabling to fix the slow LRO on igb cards isn't present in 2.0's igb driver, anyone got the right options to use to get them working at a proper speed again?

I would normally agree, but the PC in question would be a cheap ITX type unit anyway, as I would rather not have 2 devices plugged in wasting power when I could just have 1. This would be for a home www connection anyway, so no real shame if it did blow up. The details of the card seem to say it is seen by the host system as a Realtek 10/100 Network Port (RTL8100CL) and the card does the hard work. So I guess the real question is... Does pfSense support the RTL8100CL Nic ? Not sure, I know FreeBSD does with the re driver, but not sure which version introduced support for it, but it went into FreeBSD over 2 years ago. - 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] OpenVPN and CARP

Internal LAN-CARP is 10.11.1.1 and external WAN-CARP let’s say is 12.12.12.12 (gw1.bk), where pfSense_1 WAN is 12.12.12.13 (gw2.bk) and pfSense_2 WAN is 12.12.12.14 (gw3.bk). When I try to connect to gw1 (CARP) it does not respond… my WAN rule allows any on OpenVPN port incoming to WAN-subnet. I tried to set up two different OpenVPN-Address-pools on both servers for then using load-balancer-mode. I also tried to set up the same-Address-pool on both servers for CARP-mode. When I try to connect to gw2 (non-CARP) it works and the back-route works, too (pfSense_1 is CARP-master). When I try to connect to gw3 (non-CARP) it does connects and the back-route does NOT work (pfSense_2 ist CARP-slave), because all traffic is routed to 10.11.1.1 (LAN-CARP) which is held by pfSense_1. Any idea how I can use the WAN-CARP for OpenVPN ? Or Any idea how I can tell the LAN-CARP-master to route the pfSense_2 OpenVPN traffic to pfSense_2 (without static routes because these replicate via CARP) ? I asked this a while ago and got the following answer: Works now, put local x.x.x.x in custom options, where x.x.x.x is a CARP IP. You will have to manually configure the secondary to match the primary since the config doesn't sync on 1.2.x. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org

It is not clear to me the state that a PC to be awoken in is, I expected that the ATX power supplies would allow the PC to awaken when the right packets are sent however I am wondering if what is needed is a PC in a suspended state - or something else? Just need a WOL-enabled NIC, and to have WOL turned on in the BIOS. If you have an onboard NIC, it should be as simple as enabling it in the BIOS. As long as the machine is plugged in, it'll wake. With add-in NICs you need a WOL cable from the NIC to the motherboard, that can complicate things. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org

I'm not sure why that is, but from experience I can tell you it is true. In Windows you have to go into device properties for the NIC under the advance tab and enable magic packet WOL. In linux you use ethtool. Other OSes will have similar settings. If this is so, is it the default in Windows XP Pro? because all workstations we have that have a WOL setting in the BIOS, successfully do WOL, without us changing anything in Windows from a fresh install. I think it's more dependant on the windows driver default than anything else - To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
