[pfSense] Full Backup/Restore for pfSense
Again, at the risk of being so uninformed, I'd like to ask why dump/restore are not part of pfSense. Would the inclusion increase the distro size beyond expectations? I am thinking that I could use dump/restore to create several instances/installs of pfSense without necessarily having to go on an installation/customization spree for packages. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler. ___ List mailing list List@lists.pfsense.org http://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list
[pfSense] looking for IPv6 pfSense setup
Hi -- I've got the following IPv6 information from an ISP: IPv6 prefix (/64) IPv6 address gateway - these on WAN do work for pfSense. Now I also have an additional /56 routed, which is given as prefix and next-hop. Where do I put that information, and how do I distribute the individual /64 addresses do individual devices on LAN? I think globally routable static IPv6 addresses for each device are best. Does anyone have a few screenshot or just generic information on how to configure this? Thanks! P.S. Unrelated, in my home pfSense for cable modem with DHCP for IPv4 and 6to4 tunnel for IPv6 and Track Interface as IPv6 configuration type for LAN I sometimes have no IPv6 connectivity on Windows 7 (while I can ping6 on pfSense just fine).

Re: [pfSense] looking for IPv6 pfSense setup
Hello, You can check my settings here… Ok, they are in French, but It is more or less the same as your user case. http://www.osnet.eu/fr/content/pfsense-en-ipv6-sur-un-lien-dsl-ovh There are images, that might help you figure out how things are done / network topology. Basically : 1. get the /64 routed address on the WAN (generally using DHCP6 but might be different depending on your provider) 2. configure RA as unmanaged with the right settings on your LAN 3. Allow traffic on the interface using FW rules. This has work very well for me and has been confirmed by my ISP to work. Of course, this setting might not work for you, but you'll get the big picture.

What I wanted is not just the config, but everything. Say I have installed packages as well and I do not want to go through that again on the next pfSense box I am building. I only want to change a few configs like LAN/WAN IP/Subnets and the names.

Re: [pfSense] Full Backup/Restore for pfSense
I'm experimenting with something like this (from pfsense box): dd if=/dev/sd0 | gzip | ssh user@host dd of=/tmp/pfsense_bkup.gzip Technically the box will boot and load the needed packages, but if your doing many boxes and package installation is slow, there is a decent need for something like this. I netboot alix boxes and grab the default pfsense embedded image over ftp and pipe it to dd to get it on the cf, but it would save me a bunch of time, if this above method works of package installs, its not that big of deal when doing 1-2 boxes but now I've got a project that is going to need ~35, so a templatized image is a much better solution for me than normal configs. -- James Records | Principle Network Engineer M 425.984.4349 E ja...@northshoresoftware.com W www.northshoresoftware.com On Sat, May 4, 2013 at 9:32 AM, Odhiambo Washington odhia...@gmail.comwrote: What I wanted is not just the config, but everything.

Re: [pfSense] Full Backup/Restore for pfSense
Hi, I've been reading this thread with interest. Honestly I don't see any good reason to use dd to create a clone of your config. It will be a total waste of time compared to the classic install. The path that I would rather take will be : 1. Classic install with the version that suits your needs for all 35 CF cards. 2. Create an sh script or whatever language you like and mount the card in a VM or on a FBSD / Linux. 3. Restore config and files that are of interest to you. 4. Unmount your card. A dump with a CF card of 4Gb will take ages if you use a 1Gb… It'll still take a very long time compared to classic install. Furthermore you can use n CF card reader and parallelize the tasks. If you select the right files you should be fine with your install. Sincerely yours. G.B.

Re: [pfSense] Full Backup/Restore for pfSense
there is no reason to make a entire disk dump. equal which tool. from my point of view. i use pfSense now since the beginnings. just do a backup over the menu install a new box open the web interface and stop the wizard open the restore over diagnostics, put he backed config in and look that you have the wan interface connected and selected right ( if different nic types) packages will be pulled automatically after the restart of the box. (if connected to the WAN-Net) if you backed up also the rrd-data, those graphs will also be fine... the only reason i can see to make a full backup is squid or other dynamic data. but as the kind of data say, they are dynamically rebuild. log files from squid or something else can you transfer per tar through nc/ssh p.e. hth regards m. 2013/5/5 b...@todoo.biz b...@todoo.biz Hi, I've been reading this thread with interest.
