I'm also getting crashes and reboot loops after just upgrading to the current version of opnsense (24.7) and then subsequently installing a Chelsio T320 dual nic. I thought my old opnsense installation was corrupted or something (its almost 6 years old) so I figured I wipe the SSD and do a fresh install of opnsense, but the opnsense USB installer gave the same crash and boot loop.

I thought the problem was FreeBSD, so I tried a TrueNAS Core installation and then the latest pfsense installer (on USB) and they both booted and ran fine. Ubuntu 22.04 also ran fine.

I'd hate to have to go back to using pfSense just because of this issue. Are there any quick settings or fixes I could try to get this NIC working with the current version of opnsense?


P.S. - Computer is XEON E3-1220 v2 3.1 GHz 4c/4t CPU, 8GB RAM, 180 GB SATA SSD on Supermicro X9SCM motherboard

No, 172.16.11.0/24 is not connected to opnsense or another firewall at all (interfaces nor VLANs) - I simply manually assign static IP addresses to server NICs that I want to use my storage/SAN/NAS server. I basically want to utilize DNS for the 172.x.x.x domain like I currently do with the 10.x.x.x domain and have one DNS server serving both domains. So for example, hostname "funserver01" points to 172.16.11.10 and "funserver01-mgmt" points to 10.0.11.10 and requesting device can access either domain.

Right now I have one 1GbE port/interface (WAN) connected to the ISP modem and the other 1GbE port/interface (LAN) connected to the 48 port 1/10GbE switch. I can add a dual port 10GbE NIC to the opnsense firewall if required.

I'm using dnsmasq. I don't have 172.16.11.0/24 set up in opnsense in any way - I simply manually assign 10 GbE NICs 172.16.11.0/24 IP addresses and nothing else. How do I set up up so 172.16.11.0/24 devices look to dnsmasq running on opnsense for DNS stuff for 172.16.11.0/24 hosts??

I have two broadcast domains on my network - one for everything, including the Internet (10.0.11.0/24) and one for storage and backup stuff (172.16.11.0/24) with 10 GbE NICs. The DNS server in opnsense only serves my everything broadcast domain (10.0.11.0/24). How do I set things up so the DNS server serves the storage domain too (172.16.11.0/24)??
