For example, when configuring the subnet IDs of your LANs, you need to know how many bits are available. Let's say you configure a subnet ID 0x10 but then only get a /60... Things will break.

Quote from: nero355 on March 30, 2026, 01:02:05 AMSo it's like my old Router with MIPS SoC like I thought.Pretty sure that didn't run OPNsense. :)
Quote from: nero355 on March 30, 2026, 01:02:05 AMCan you at least mix both things without the need to disable any of the Offloading Features first ?Not sure what you mean by "mix both things". And it's all about the offloading, disabling it wouldn't make sense.
Quote from: nero355 on March 30, 2026, 01:02:05 AMSo with that kind of setup the issue with the FreeBSD Bootloader needing an upgrade from time to time can be ignored, right ?Correct. That's not the reason why it was implemented this way, but I guess it could be considered a positive side effect.
Quote from: nero355 on March 30, 2026, 01:02:05 AMAre there any AARCH64 Mainboards out there that can run FreeBSD or simply OPNsense without any big issues ?Yes, this one. :)
Quote from: nero355 on March 30, 2026, 01:02:05 AMSince you are our AARCH64 Releases guy and all :)I've only used it on VMs until recently. Gateway changed that.
Quote from: OPNenthu on March 29, 2026, 11:56:43 PMThe SFP+ cage is there, but how much latency does the RJ45 transceiver add?Essentially none (less than a microsecond?), that's just a PHY.
Quote from: nero355 on March 29, 2026, 08:03:51 PMBut where does one put this SoC based on it's performance ?It has 4 Cortex A72 cores. But most packets never touch these cores.
Quote from: nero355 on March 29, 2026, 08:03:51 PMAnd why suddenly use Offloading while it's always recommended to disable all of it for both OPNsense and pfSense ?!What you're probably thinking of is offloading basic packet processing like checksums to the NICs.
Quote from: bamf on March 16, 2026, 05:02:09 PMExterne ONTs mit SFP-Uplink zum Router scheint es ja nicht zu geben?Der OPNsense-Router wird doch ohnehin an einem Switch hängen? Und dieser Switch wird entweder einen freien SFP-Port haben (für das Zyxel) oder einen freien RJ45-Port (für ein Glasfasermodem 2)?
Quote from: Patrick M. Hausen on March 16, 2026, 04:54:03 PMUnd dann? Bridge?Nein, klassisches Routing.
Quote from: Patrick M. Hausen on March 16, 2026, 04:54:03 PMDas ist ja mal echt interessant, hast du da Links zu?
Quote from: bamf on March 16, 2026, 11:39:16 AMDann auf der OPNSense eine VIP aus dem Subnetz des Sticks, damit ich auf die WebUI des Sticks komme.Das wäre in diesem Fall keine VIP, sondern eine normale Interface-Adresse. Denn das eigentliche WAN-Interface ist dann ja ein PPPoE-Device.
Quote from: bamf on March 16, 2026, 11:39:16 AMAlso baut der Switch bei dir die PPPoE Verbindung auf?Ja richtig, wobei "Router" es bei mir besser beschreibt, da ich das SFP explizit nicht bridge.
Quote from: bamf on March 16, 2026, 11:39:16 AMMein Plan wäre, am Switch (CRS305-1G-4S+IN) zwei Ports zu bridgen, den Port, an dem der GPON Stick steckt sowie den Port, der zum Router geht. So dass die OPNSense direkt auf Layer 2 den GPON Stick sieht. Dann Einwahl über die OPNSense.Das geht natürlich auch. Wobei das nur Sinn ergibt, falls Du auch Verwendung für die anderen Switch-Ports hast. Ansonsten wäre das Standalone-ONT der Telekom (Glasfasermodem 2) oder ein einfacher Media-Converter (1x SFP, 1x RJ45) naheliegender.
Quote from: Patrick M. Hausen on March 16, 2026, 01:33:41 PMWie geht das? Dann hat doch der hEX die öffentliche IP-Adresse auf seinem PPPoE-Interface?Über ein eigenes Script. Die guten Scripting-Fähigkeiten sind etwas, was ich bei MikroTik sehr schätze.
Quote from: bamf on March 16, 2026, 01:22:18 AMWäre es möglich, einen kleinen Switch wie den Mikrotik CRS305 quasi als "externes Gehäuse" für das SFP-Modul zu verwenden?Klar, falls Du ohnehin einen Switch mit SFP-Ports hast, dann kann das GPON-SFP auch da rein.
