Re: [pfSense Support] BTW: How many VLANs can I have?

But I'm pretty sure I read about a limitation on the number of VLANs, too. So whatever the number of VLANs supported is (I believe this number to be 64, but this is only from memory), I cannot have more than 32 at the moment anyway? While I don't have nowhere near than 32 VLANs at the moment, I can clearly see this number to be reaching the limit some time in the future. cheers, Rainer - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Bill Marquette wrote: A VLAN is an interface, so interface limits apply. exactly. there probably is a hard limit of some sort in FreeBSD, but it's likely ridiculously high (like into the thousands or something of that nature). With that said, the FAQ entry clearly states 32 is all that is _supported_ but you can have more, the GUI will likely become painfully slow. We'll be working on scalability (after a few other gotcha's are cleared up), in the meantime, try it out, shouldn't be too hard to create 32 vlan interfaces ;) Let us know how it performs, let us know if there really is a limit (I couldn't find one in code). Scott and I discussed last night how well it would or wouldn't scale as you add interfaces, and the consensus is we just don't know at this point. So where did this 32 number come from? http://doc.m0n0.ch/handbook/faq.html :) There is one limitation in m0n0wall that limits you to 32 interfaces with a DHCP server, because each DHCP server instance in FreeBSD 4.x requires a bpf device, and m0n0wall only has 32 bpf devices. But even the m0n0wall FAQ entry was a guess between Manuel and myself, due to the number of people that kept asking the question. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [pfSense Support] Floppy Support
You need to plug in the device before it boots. At any rate there is a bug in BETA1. Make sure you're using PREBETA2 from http://www.pfsense.com/~sullrich/ On 1/10/06, Vivek Khera [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Jan 6, 2006, at 12:20 PM, Scott Ullrich wrote: Yes, you can also use a USB memory stick to store config.xml on. Simply format the stick as MSDOS and hook it up. A new option 98 should appear on the console to transfer the config.xml over to the USB dev ice. I just upgraded to 1.0BETA1 from a version from beginning of december -- I think it was 0.96.4. I plugged in a USB stick but pfSense is not offering me any option to save the config to the device. The console shows that freebsd recognizes and attaches the USB device as da0 and finds the GEOM ms-dos label. What else do I need to do to convince it to let me save the config to the stick?

[pfSense Support] floppy/hd/usb drive config w/livecd
Hi all, I'm not seeing this in the FAQ, m0n0 docs, forums or wiki... When booting from the CD, what devices will it look at for a possible config file and in what order? I've seen mention on the list of using MSDOS formatted USB keychains and floppies, but I assume pfsense will also look on native FBSD partitions? Will it look on the hard drive as well when booting from CD? I ask because I'm setting up pfsense for a friend to try out. I've got the config ready (changed interface names, dns settings, IPs, etc.) and just need to tell him where to stash it so that when he boots off of the CD he'll have a functioning config. My apologies if this is documented somewhere and I missed it...
