I use OPNsense for many years running directly on hardware.
Now I've tried to run the OPNsense under ESXI on the same hardware, but facing to problems that WAN interface is not working (OPNsense do not get IP address via DHCP on WAN interface).
When I have running OPNsense on the same HW directly (without ESXI), then the WAN interface works fine.

Used configuration:
- ESXI 7.0 Update 3 and tried to use fresh installation of OPNsense 23.7 and 24.1
- Two Ethernet interfaces VMNIC0 (i219-LM) and VMNIC1 (i210)
- defined two vSwitches - first for LAN attached to VMNIC0, second for WAN attached to VMNIC1
- the vSwitch for WAN has enabled promiscuous mode
- OPNsense LAN assigned to VMX0 (LAN vSwitch), WAN assigned to VMX1 (WAN vSwitch)

The LAN interface works well (able to connect to ESXI, OPNsense web interface, console, etc)
The WAN interface didn't get IP address (see attached screenshots).
Note: When running the fresh installation of OPNsense on the same HW all works fine.

I've tried to search for similar issue, but found only hints regarding promiscuous mode, but this didn't help.

Thank you in advance for any hint.

Thank you for the hint!
it seems it was caused by connected ESP32 device (used for control of Somfy devices) which was connected to router via USB (but just for powering) and this was done same time as was performed the upgrade ;-).
It helps to have unchecked "Use USB-based serial ports" in System: Settings: Administration.

After update from 23.7.3 to 23.7.4 I'm getting within about each ~1 minutes following messages to system log:

Do you have idea what could be broken? How to mitigate such issue?

Thank you in advance for any hint, Martin

Hi Thomas,

I'm connected via local community provider via 5ghz network and the problem is present since I've migrated from 19.7.10 to 20.7 (so skipped 20.1). Currently I'm running using wan load balancing (connected via community provider and T-mobile LTE). On my machine the issue persists and happen periodically exactly each 15 minutes:

2020-12-04T11:16:05    pflog0: promiscuous mode enabled
2020-12-04T11:16:05    pflog0: promiscuous mode disabled
2020-12-04T11:16:00    reload filter for configured schedules
2020-12-04T11:01:05    pflog0: promiscuous mode enabled
2020-12-04T11:01:05    pflog0: promiscuous mode disabled
2020-12-04T11:01:00    reload filter for configured schedules

I'm using schedules to disable/enable traffic for selected users (e.g. block in late evening, etc). The schedules have 15min granularity in OPNsense, so thing if it could be somehow related to the schedules.

Thomas, are you using schedules?

Edit: finally I've found that in my case it happens due to how the schedules are implemented:
See reply from Franco in this thread: https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=13792.0

BR, Martin

Note: During migration I've did clean install of 20.7 and imported configuration via xml file, when migrated from 19.7.

Hello,

I'm facing to similar behaviour since switched to 20.7 (currently running on 20.7.4):

Would be great to know why that is happening.

Thank you for your support, Martin

In meantime I've solved it using packages directly from freebsd
pkg add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:11:amd64/latest/All/c-ares-1.15.0_1.txz
pkg add -f https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:11:amd64/latest/All/mosquitto-1.6.4.txz

Hello,

there were added Mosquitto (MQTT broker) as package to 16.7.(13)(14) and later to 17.1
see: https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=4218.0
Now I've migrated to 19.7, but can't install the package.

Thank you for any hint.

Best Regards, Martin

Finally it helps to move the mPCIe card to other slot. Don't understand why, but helps.

Hi,

I've upgraded to 19.1 from 18.7. After the upgrade everything seems fairly normal except the WiFi was down. I've tried to set it up, but without success. So I've deleted the interface and wireless device, then restarted the router. After this I'm not able to add the wireless device (dmesg output attached). Is the WLE200NX supported by the new kernel used for 19.1? Is there necessary to pass some parameter to the new kernel?
Previous versions of OPNsense (18.7, 18.1, ...) works on the HW fine (APU1D + WLE200NX + mSATA SSD).

Thank you for your support.

Cheers Martin

Hi,

would be great to add package py27-paho-mqtt into opnsense.
To be able install it at least from command line using pkg install.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Cheers, Martin

Thanks to everyone at ONSense for the great work and wish you all the best and lots of strength in defense against people making controversial website like OPNsense.com. Sent €40 to support.

Hi,

I'm curious about setting you are using.
Can you post settings or configuration steps here?

Cheers, Martin

Hello,

there were added Mosquitto (MQTT broker) as package to 16.7.(13)(14) see: https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=4218.0
Now I migrated to 17.1, but can't find mosquitto package listed under GUI System | Firmware | Packages.
Assume it should be listed there.
Manual installation using shell works well (# pkg install mosquitto).

BR, Martin

Hi Franco,

that helps, now it works.

Many thanks for help!

Kind Regards, Martin

Hi Franco,

First of all many thanks for reply and superb support!

I've installed the packages, updated config file, but during run got message that library libuuid.so.1 is missing.

Code Select Expand

# /usr/local/sbin/mosquitto -c /usr/local/etc/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf
Shared object "libuuid.so.1" not found, required by "mosquitto"


Again, many thanks for your support.

Kind Regards, Martin
