Re: [pfSense Support] Remote monitoring

You can enable the SNMP daemon and remotely monitor all those things you mentioned. I use the open-source web-based software Cacti (http://www.cacti.net/) to monitor many servers via SNMP. It may take a bit of work to install and learn how to use it, but it's the best tool I have for keeping

Can you SSH into the router? If so, here's a few things you can do from the command line (option 8 after SSHing in) to see why it may not be working: * Issue the command pfctl -sr | grep route (without the quotes). If the outgoing load balancing rule was properly created, you should see the rule

Re: [pfSense Support] Bridging question

2006-01-23 Thread Ben Browning
I've never really tried doing bridging with FreeBSD, but with Linux that's how bridging is done. For every interface you want to add to the bridge, you set its IP address to 0.0.0.0. Then, you set the IP address of the bridge interface and that becomes the bridged IP address for all the interfaces

Just out of curiosity, are those with problems tagging packets for some VOIP queue based on the IP address of the VOIP device(s)? I believe I recall an issue in the shaper incorrectly tagging data if a rule was created to match all traffic from a particular source address. This code in shaper.inc

Yes, most cable modems are designed to only learn a single MAC address at a time. If you ever replace the device directly connected to the cable modem, you will have to power cycle the cable modem for the new device to work. On 10/3/05, Vivek Khera [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Oct 2, 2005, at

Re: [pfSense Support] FW: Cosmetic Bug in Trafficshaper?

2005-09-13 Thread Ben Browning
I installed pfSense a few days ago using pfSense-LiveCD-0.84.iso (the version from 09/11/05). I've observed this bug also. After examining the source of the file firewall_shaper_queues_edit.php I came to the following conclusion: * When using HFSC, the bandwidth input box doesn't appear. *
