Hi Volks

I have an FortiGate 40C laying arround. Since I can't upgrade the Firmware (without paying another Membership) I switched to the OPNsense. Now I have an unused Fortinet FAP-221C Accesspoint. Is it possible, to connect it to OPNsense and use/mange it?

Dear Community I'm new to opnsense and have some strange problems during installation. Couldn't find any solutions in the web, so I poste here...

1. No GUI

Just after the Installation on the APU2C4, with OPNsense 18.1 (amd64/OpenSSL), I was able to connect via GUI on the WAN Port (DHCP Adress from my other Router). I could make some Settings like Timezone, Language. After pushing UPdate, it was no more possible to connect to the gui, not via WAN, not via LAN Ports. Ping is not working, Portscan shows no open Ports.

If I'm in the console and chose 8 for Shell. I'm able to Ping the other Router and also web HOsts. So the Appliace could connect to the Internet.
Is there a way to restart/reconfigue GUI or SSH Access via Shell? See also Issue 2....


2. Console Issues

I use a PC Engines APU2C4 Board. While connecting to the Serialconsole (Mac OS, Cool Term, PL2303 Adapter) I have strange behaviour in the Console: It seams to always reapeat my Inputs with an untyped character. For Example, I chose 5 for Power of the System, i cant Answer the following y/N Question, since, it starts automaticali over with the Menu:

Enter an option: 5


The system will halt and power off. Do you want to proceed? [y/N]:
*** OPNsense.localdomain: OPNsense 18.1 (amd64/OpenSSL) ***

WAN (igb0)      -> v4/DHCP4: 192.168.101.17/24

  0) Logout                              7) Ping host
  1) Assign interfaces                   8) Shell
  2) Set interface IP address            9) pfTop
  3) Reset the root password            10) Firewall log
  4) Reset to factory defaults          11) Reload all services
  5) Power off system                   12) Upgrade from console
  6) Reboot system                      13) Restore a backup

Enter an option:


During Boot, while pushing "F10" to enter Bootmenu, nothing happens.

Thank you very much!
