thank you for your input <3
looks like a manual migration is necessary

for others researching this here is a guide i found in the web:
https://homenetworkguy.com/how-to/migrate-from-isc-dhcp-to-dnsmasq-or-kea-dhcp-in-opnsense/

Hi all <3,

in the recent patchnotes (https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=50138.0) it was mentioned that ISC should be removed some time in the future:

The changes are otherwise clustered around preparation for the major upgrade
which brings an number of fundamental changes with the ongoing removal of
ISC-DHCP from core.

So i looked for a migration button but did not see one.
As the title of this thread suggests i am wondering what OPNsense plans as a migration tool?
or is there a planned way from OPNsense for all the existing installations?

with kind regards

thank you
looks like that might do the trick (:

still find it rather misleading that it accepts any and even lets you apply it without any warning that its not working.
this might lead to bad situations :/

Hello lovely hivemind (:

i am currently setting up a nested alias.

Code Select Expand

Alias All (Hotst/s)
- Inclusions(Hotst/s)
-- any
- Exclusions(Hotst/s)
-- !ip1 !ip2 !ip3

but the any is bugged and does not work :(
my current workaround is to switch the inclusion alias to network/s and enter each network manually.
but that's not great from a maintenance side of things :/

does anyone have and idea how to fix this?

with kind regards

- Click on the new interface (above)
  - Enable Interface: CHECKED
  - SAVE

at this point it gives me a big red text stating:

Code Select Expand

The following input errors were detected:
  The DHCP Server is active on this interface and it can be used only with a static IP configuration.
  Please disable the DHCP Server service on this interface first,
  then change the interface configuration.even tho the IPv4 and 6 Configuration type is set to none by default o:

anyone an idea how to fix this?

//EDIT1:
after reading a bit on reddit and the pfsens forum it seams to be a bug.
removing the interface and recreating it solved the problem o:

thank you for your reply sadly this also did not work



it also only shows the start of the content :(

for reference most update feeds i add are github release notes like those: https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/releases
there you can see all the content even inside the rss feed. (like with news articles)

Hello OPNsnese Dev Team (:

i love using OPNsense and also like the Change logs / Announcements in the default Dashboard.
since i don't look into that dashboard every day i would love to incorporate that rssfeed into my feed reader where i have my other change logs.

Sadly when i try to use the forum rss ( https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?board=11.0;action=.xml ) it only shows the first three lines of content.

so my question is:
what is the RSS Link used for the Announcements widget in the default Dashboard?


with kind regards

Solved thank you
thread can be deleted

oh maybe its the DHCP.
I noticed that i set up the dhcp for LAN to give the AP its IP.
but now that the AP is not behind the Switch anymore maybe opnsense does not know that it should give it the same ip on another interface?

i had a zyxel gs 1200 and a netgear gs108e
on both i just set the "trunk" to the opnsense to carry all VLANs and the port with the AP i set to carry the ones for the SSIDs

but i think i don't understand how to set this up in opnsense :/

i think igc2 (where the AP is connected) needs to accept the AP tagged VLANs (20 is the one i currently test with)
that's why i thought setting VLAN Device vlan020 to parent igc2 was enough 🙈

VLAN 20 is tagged with VLAN ID 50 (2nd screenshot)?

good spot i corrected that (:

my VLAN Devices look like this: (Parent set to the Interface with the AP (igc2))


before that the Parent was set to the Laninterface (igc1) where a switch is attached which passes the VLANs from the AP.
From what i understand only the AP should Tag the vlan and the rest (switch / opnsense) is just accepting them on untagged interfaces (correct?)

Hello lovely community (:


today i switched around my setup since i migrated my opnsense to a new box which fortunately has 4 instead of 2 interfaces.
i want to use this opportunity to put my access point directly into the opnsense to gain a free port on my switch (:
so basically my old and new setups look like this:



but i need help / am confused on the opnsense side of configurations.
before it looked like this:


for the new setup i tried to switch the parent to igc2 interface on the vlan device configuration but that did not work.
the wifi devices cant reach opnsense and therefore get no dhcp ip etc.

i feel like i am missing something and would greatly appreciate a little help on how to set this up correctly <3
(basically how to get my AP which tags VLANs to work directly plugged into opnsense)

Hi OPNSense Devs,
first let me say i really like the new Dashboard <3

Sadly tho i fail to load every widget :/
Some of them always show the red exclamation mark and the message "Failed to load widget".
Since i run a pretty "low spec" Zotac ZBOX Ci323 and a few CI327 with intel n3000 series CPUS i suspect its due to them timing out while initialization?

The workaround is after the Dashboard is loaded to remove the failed widget and re-add it.

Therefor i would really love not only the "remove X" for each widget in the top right corner but also suggest a "reload arrow" in the top left corner of each widget so we can attempt to 'restart' single widgets which failed to load widgets (:

with kind regards

@tobasium nutze die Chance und schreib alles was du machst in https://obsidian.md/ mit (:
dann noch wenn man fertig ist 15 min hin setzen und schön machen.

meine obsidian vault für IT Krams wächst mittlerweile auch und hat mir schon echt oft zeit gespart :D


Das meine Vorhaben alle ewig "reifen" bevor si angefasst werden oder weiter gehen kenne ich allerdings auch :(
Man müsste die blöde Lohnsklaverei los werden dann hätte man halbwegs zeit sich mit schöner Bildung zu beschäftigen ^^

Vielen Dank für das Angebot <3

ich habe jetzt auch nochmal von vorne angefangen.
Ich glaube mein fehler war das ich im Gateway bei IP das Feld leer gelassen hatte und dort nicht "dynamic" stand.

Sicher bin ich mir allerdings nicht.
Was ich auch merkwürdig finde is das ich diesmal kein PPPoE Device angelegt habe sondern wie du die Daten beim Interface eingetragen habe und nach einem Reboot doch ein PPPoE Device für VLan07 angelegt ist o.o

Ich bin sehr verwirrt xD

Wenn ich Zeit habe gehe ich das nochmal mit meiner Backupbox und einem Freshinstall durch.
Dann würde ich im Anschluss den Prozess versuchen zu Dokumentieren und wenn es für dich ok ist dich einmal drüber schauen lassen.

Dann können wir das hier posten und hoffentlich den Zukünftigen einiges an Probiererei sparen (:
