24.7 Production Series / After login attempt WebUI is no longer accessible

« on: July 29, 2024, 09:02:36 pm »

Since the other thread (https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=41818.0 )seems like a completely different issue I have decided to open this thread here.

After the update before the latest one - although I am not 100% sure that the update was causing the issue - I am unable to log into the WebUI after my DEC740 has run for a while. So, usually after a cold boot I can access the UI and log into it and change settings if I so desire. However, after a few days when I visit the WebUI it shows up but I just hangs during my login attempt. (I can then try on a different device.) During the whole time, I can connect via ssh. That being said, I have experienced the firewall to stop working after some time of not being reachable.

To solve the issue, I have to shut it down and then leave it unplugged for 1-2mins. Afterwards, everything works again until some time has passed.

I don't know which logs are needed or what info you need to help me solve the issue, so please just let me know and I will try to provide it.

24.1 Legacy Series / WAN does not negotiate Speed/Duplex Properly

« on: June 22, 2024, 01:55:06 pm »

I have a 150MBit Internet connection but during the last few days I have noticed that I am limited to roughly 10-15Mbit. After doing a few tests I narrowed the issue down to the firewall and when looking at the dashboard and when browsing through my settings I noticed the WAN's speed was set to 100baseTX <half-duplex>
.

I tried setting it to 1000baseT <full-duplex> like LAN and IoT put this results in no Internet connection. When I directly connect a computer to the modem I am able to get my full Internet speed, so this does not seem to be the problem.

Additionally, I think the issue only occurred (was noticed) yesterday and I did have my full Internet speed a few days prior while no changes to the firewall or my network setup have been made, aside from installing the newest update.

Another problem I have noticed is that after a reboot of the firewall I sometimes did not get a WAN connection (just like when I used 1000baseT), but since I have manually set it to 100baseTX this seems to be solved now.

Any help on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated!

Edit: The OPNsense version I am currently using is OPNsense 24.1.9_4-amd64 and FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE-p11 on a AMD Ryzen Embedded V1500B (4 cores, 8 threads) machine.

Hardware and Performance / DEC740 Reset or Serial Install

« on: April 17, 2023, 06:36:18 pm »

I have purchased a DEC740 but unfortunately, I have messed up my network settings due to an error and now I do not know how I can connect to this device.

I have looked for a reset button, but I haven't found anything like that and my notebook just gets a self assigned IP with no way to connect to the router. (The IP it pick is 169.254.165.210 with a 0xffff0000 netmask. I have tried pinging the broadcast address, but I do not get any response.)

I now wanted to use a serial USB install and connect the device like so, but I also cannot see any device like ttyS0 or ttyUSB0.

Any help would be appreciated!

Edit 1: After I reconnected the device via USB I did find a couple of /dev/ttySX devices and /dev/ttyS0 sort of opens a connection with "sudo screen /dev/ttyS0 115200". Unfortunately, nothing happens afterwards and the screen simply remains empty.

Edit 2: ok ttyS0 is something different. I'm also using the cable the came with the device, so I assume when I connect this is should in fact by ttyUSB and not ttyX.

Edit 3: I sort of fear that the serial port has been deactivated after the "successful" configuration...
