[pfSense Support] Bootup Complete - but no console

2011-01-22 Thread Dimitri Rodis
Running latest build of 2.0 on a Firebox x500 (just flashed 2 hours ago), 
totally clean.



The box boots up and works fine-assigned LAN and WAN interfaces, no problem. 
The box responds to console input until you get to Bootup complete, and you 
never get the console menu. Webconfigurator works-- if you ssh in to the box 
and log in, you get the console menu-- but you never get it on the COM console, 
and the COM console does not respond to keyboard input of any kindbut 
that's the only thing that doesn't work, the box seems to be usable besides 
this. Odd...



Any reasons why this might be?

[pfSense Support] Hardware for WAN interface - Frame Relay

2011-01-22 Thread Alberto Mijares
Greetings,

I need a router with a V.35 interface for my frame relay link. I found
that ctau(4) driver in FreeBSD 8.x may handle this PCI card[1], so my
question is:  does pfSense 2.x support this card and may be used as
WAN interface? I think so, since pfSense 2.x is based on FreeBSD 8.1
and keeps all driver, isn't it?

Anybody using this card as WAN interface?

I need the hardware provider too, by the way.

Thanks in advance.

You can try grab the module from a standard freebsd iso and load it in pfSense.
You will have to grab even sconfig utitlity for this and is not
supported from the GUI.

Than you can go and do some test on the PPP page for it.

NAT each internal host to its own public IP, or use 2.0.

Does he need all 5 tunnels to the same remote IP?
Chris, could you briefly describe what mechanism is used in 2.0 to avoid this 
problem?
Thanks.

Ermal enhanced the GRE state tracking in PF so it tracks call ID in
addition to source and destination IP, and tied the GRE states to the
TCP 1723 states in the case of PPTP.

What you say is I must configure the channel parameters from the CLI
(with sconfig) and then configure the WAN interface (cp0 in this case)
as a PPP link from the GUI. Is that correct?

In this case I must manually edit rc.conf for the channel settings at
startup, rigth?

I need to know if it is going to work because we don't have much money
for spending in tests. Has anyone done this before? Should I take
another box with FreeBSD 8.X or Linux as a router? A low cost router
with V.35 interface perhaps? Any suggestion?

Thanks for your help.
