@dennypage said in Netgate 2100 Max CPu pings 100% when download large files:

/usr/bin/top -baHS 999

Didn't saw him using that command ...
Thanks, now knowing this, I'm seeing the same results.
And top ? switched to htop ages go me.

@Mission-Ghost Interesting. Sounds like the 4200 is going to be worth the extra cost.

@JonathanLee said in Netgate 8200 NVMe Replacement:

@smsigroupit I am sorry, there is a lot of technology products can not be shipped outside the United States because of specific laws. I would contact Netgate and or keep waiting for an official Netgate user to respond.

Thank you very much for your help.

One additional issue to be aware of is that up until pfSense+ 24.03 the Netgate SG-1100 (& SG-2100) installation images resulted in eMMC having non aligned flash partitions. This can result in file system activity causing sub optimal block writing (due to sectors crossing erase boundaries) resulting in increased flash wear.

pfSense Redmine reference -> https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/15126

Easy to check - from shell use the command:

gpart show mmcsd0

and check numbers in first column for either freebsd / freebsd-zfs partitions are divisible by 8 (or a higher power of 2).

Generally if your SG-1100 (also SG-2100) was originally commissioned prior to pfSense+ 24.03 then you should consider reinstalling and restoring config.

Relevant Netgate SG-1100 documentation -> https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/solutions/sg-1100/reinstall-pfsense.html

The power button remains red. I will connect to the console and let you know soon.

Thanks a lot,

I did.

Yes, the if_pppoe module is in 2.8-beta too.👍

Because it's a combo port there is very little flexibility there. There are no real settings on the port. It either works or it doesn't.

I've tested a few different modules there myself including some BiDi and GPON modules. But I'm not sure I've tested a singlemode module personally.

Update: the Delta fan is the correct part but comes with bare wires. I used this 4 pin PWM fan connector kit to add the connector. I don't own a micro crimp tool but some small needle nose pliers did the trick. I folded the wire back on itself to give more metal for the terminal to crimp onto.

Update it, that normally on the 2100 means it has new firmware

Thank you for all of your input. Just to close my personl thread, I contacted NetGate support directly, they were very helpful.

My original purchase was this, it was ONLY 10Gb/s:
10Gtek ASF-10G-T80

Then I got this (as recommended by NetGate support), and it also worked at 1Gb/s as well as 10Gb/s:
10Gtek ASF-10G2-T

So far it's working great.

The fact it's in HA makes it more difficult. You would probably have to swap it on both nodes.

In the 1541 the ix NICs are in the SoC so I would not expect overheating to be an issue if the CPU is still within limits. But possibly some other component like a PHY. Certainly check the fans and sensor readings between the two nodes.

@pinkfluffyunicorn said in Netgate 4100 regular extreme-slowdowns, have to reboot:

verbiage "Improve the system load impact from Dashboard widgets"

It does not. Many redmines have a patch. This one does not but there is one in https://forum.netgate.com/topic/190824/cpu-load-on-1100/23. It may be an early version I don't know. Or just close the dashboard. :) Also the web GUI logs each web request for every widget.

@ahxcjay The KingSpec NE 2242 is one of the few widely-available options:

Installed yesterday. It's tiny.
