Hardware and Performance / DEC750 thermal sensor
March 13, 2025, 06:57:01 PM
Hello,

So I decided to get DEC750 and give it a go, if all went one, I may deploy some of them in office network, currently I am running latest CE 25.1.3 but noticed that the thermal widget doesn't show any data, I switched between AMD, intl and NONE/ACPI, still showing nothing, however running sysctl -a | grep temperature does report temperature, so was wondering what I am missing?

P.S configuration is restored from APU6, had to adjust the correct interfaces in assignment, but nothing else, everything else works as expected

Hardware and Performance / Bench mark data for PPPoE
March 04, 2025, 01:18:27 PM
After a bit of disappointment with PPPoE limitation with APU6, I am looking for new affordable hardware, I did read few posts in the forum and was thinking about Protectli V1410 , however, anyone has PPPoE benchmark data? or any other affordable devices that can get 1.0 Gibt/s on PPPoE interface with single thread?

I am facing a bit of a performance issue when using my APU6 directly behind ONT, basically my download max is 250 Mib/s while it should 900+ Mib/s here is summery:

* PPPoE is configured correctly, I can get a session but not my full speed
* I am using APU6 4GB ram https://www.pcengines.ch/apu6b4.htm
* LAN <---> APU6 "OPNSense 25.1.2-amd64" <---> ISP Router "PPPoE" <---> ONT <---> INTERNET and I am getting my full speed 900+ Mib/s to my LAN

* LAN <---> APU6 "OPNSense 25.1.2-amd64" <---> ONT <---> INTERNET and I am getting max 250 Mib/s on my LAN

I tried with compression off, hardware offloading off, same results 250 Mib/s max download speed

and this made me wonder, since when I am behind ISP router, my LAN still getting full bandwidth via the OPNSense box, but not while I am running PPPoE directly, is there some tweaks needs to be done? some kernel parameter? I think PPPoE is capped on the kernel or something

Hello,

I am running latest opnsense 23.7.5 on APU6D4 pcengines board, everything working fine until I started adding more VLANs,

I did run speedtest from LAN -> WAN -> speedtest.net and I am getting my full bandwidtch from ISP with no issue, once I did start finishing up my setup and testing, it down by more than half

here is the setup in a nutshell:

* WAN interface connected to the modem "igb0"
* LAN interface connected to the laptop for setup "igb1"
* vlan0.1.[20-110] on "igb2"
* vlan0.2.[20-110] on "igb3"
* Assigning the new created VLANs
* bridge[0-9] briding two VLANs together for example. bridge0 will have vlan0.1.20 and vlan0.2.20
* DHCP setup on those bridge interface
* bridge interfaces configured with static IP
* All interfaces are enabled

Then I started running some tests, so I started to disable the assigned VLAN interfaces, and once I did that, I got back to the actual bandwidth , the bridges are still up but the "members" of the bridge from the assign tab, aren't enabled, however when I do ssh, I can see the VLAN interfaces up.

So I have a couple of questions:

- is this the best way to have two physical interfaces sharing VLAN data ? those interfaces will be connected to different access pointss that will tag the same VLANs, so I can't actually use LAGG / LACP since there is no switch supports LACP in the deisgn

- Is it okay to disable those interfaces? I know that now the bridge page on opnsense show nothing selected, so it might be a bug?

Thanks :)
