Did you try what worked for me?

When will be a good time to switch back to development from production?

This is what it shows i am running currently

Versions    OPNsense 20.1-amd64
FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p16-HBSD
OpenSSL 1.1.1d 10 Sep 2019

ok I finally got my problem isolated to something with the saved backup.
I was using development and with the new updates I switched to production to do them.
Something about the old development backup and switching to production and using the old update is bad.  I found that going to "Interfaces/Settings and then clearing the
DHCP unique identifier fixed the problem after a reboot.

Lots of reinstalling and testing to get this resolved for my system but all is well with just that one setting.


Figure the odds.

RADVD advertising and the dhcpv6 server on the lan side now works as it should.

lol I'm still searching to see why and if and when i find whats up I try to share

I have a feeling I got my breakage when I imported my backup. I'll have to reinstall a couple times to confirm this.

worked before the upgrade zero problems , Stopped working on the LAN side after so i can confirm it broke

Well that explains why I've had a impossible time getting it to work. I have 5 of the same ups's as Harshw.

Thanks for the temporary fix! I thought it was all on me not getting the right settings done.

cost and availability along with features.

Mainly it is the availability and cost.

I had the same problem and the only way i solved it was adding another ups.

My original one was a bit overloaded and marginal for what i was asking it to do.

I never had the data base so corrupted it couldn't be fixed though.

I agree adding more equipment does suck but i know no other way to keep a data base from being corrupted by a sudden shut down.

This is one of the times that adding something in the way of equipment or a UPS is the way to remedy the situation unfortunately.

A UPS will solve the issue completely and should be used regardless.

A UPS can be inexpensive or expensive that's up to what you need or want. But it is always less expensive than replacing equipment.

how loud are the fans in the 5548?

I umm ran out of space all ready on the 2824 port, go figure.

Thanks for a good suggestion. HDMI hmmmm i'll have to look into that sounds intriguing.

Went with the Dell PowerConnect 2824 24 port 10/100/1000

Kinda noisy but not too bad so i added a 10 ohm quarter watt resistor to the plus line and now have a quiet switch . Fan light stays in the grn and all functions quietly with no heating up.

need to purchase a pot / adjustable rheostat and see how low i can get the fan and still have good cooling with a green fan light.

I've seen the references to changing fans.

If my research is correct I think the HP is Layer 2 and the Dell layer 3 capable.

Layer 2 being mac addressable and layer 3 being mac and IP addressable.

For OPNsense is Layer3 any advantage or would the HP layer 2 be more than adequate for any future updating ?

For the cost i can acquire either for it will be one of the two, the price can't be beat. Question is which would be more advantageous to use and for anything done in the future.

Ignore amount of ports.

For SOHO applications I would opt for a silent switch like the TP-Link managed switches such as the T1500G with all the usual features (VLAN, bonding, LLDP, etc).

I use the older model for "access switches" around the house, with a Netgear 24 port managed switch as the "core" next to the servers.

Bart...

I didn't ask about tp-link switches or netgear. I was very specific not only about brand but model also.

Thanks for replying but it is of no help or relevance.
