Hardware and Performance / Re: DEC3860 serial console access

« on: February 09, 2023, 11:41:47 am »

As an Apple progress plagued user, don't you have a USB A to C adapter?

Yes I have but I tried 3 different standard cables and they do not work, so I was wondering whether the issue is related to cable or something else. I will try another standard USB cable then.

I saw that topic however I need to get into the box via serial console and was wondering what cable I need to use because standard mini USB to USB-C cables I tried are not working and the issue is not related to serial connection parameters

Hi all, I need to access OPNsense installed on a DEC3860 hardware via serial console, this hardware has a one mini USB console port.
I tried connecting different mini USB to USB-C cables however I cannot get access to the serial console login screen.
Kindly could anyone please suggest a working cable for serial console access

22.7 Legacy Series / Re: OPNsense 22.7_4: Loss of Network Connectivity

I have exactly the same issue after upgrading from 22.1.10 to 22.7.

I can also confirm the issue with source address, the default source doesn't allow to ping any external hosts, indeed to ping OPNsense mirrors I had to set the source address to WAN interface.

Thank you for figuring this out because at least this is shedding some light on what's causing the issue with firmware updates no longer working.

Also getting the exact same problem.  Protectli VP2410 - 4 Port Intel.  Previous responded ping tests fail, timeouts when updating with 3 different mirrors.

The upgrade to 22.7 is definitely broken, probably something has been corrected in newer 22.7 updates however I am unable to move forward after upgrading to 22.7, the newer updates can't be installed anymore because all mirrors are unreachable.

I was investigating further this issue and after setting up a new server with 22.1.10 and imported the latest backup taken before upgrading to 22.7 everything is working fine on the same network.
The issue with 22.7 is still persisting so the upgrade from 22.1.10 to 22.7 is broken somewhere as there are no changes in the configuration and the network is the same.
Any help in sorting out this issue would be appreciated.

Sorry, I had a bit of an issue understanding what you are saying here... are you saying that the restoration of the latest backup corrected the issue? Or are you saying that it failed to correct the issue?

Also, this seems to be pretty similar to what I described in https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=29776.0 ... did you have similar findings throughout the course of your investigation?

I was just saying that I installed a new 22.1.10 server and restored the latest backup of the 22.1.10 taken just before upgrading the other node to 22.7 and everything is working fine with updates, so the issue reported here is caused by the upgrade to 22.7

Why not post the full connectivity audit. The fetch could still use IPv6 and fail.

I have no IPv6 connectivity and IPv6 is disabled in OPNsense
