Last post by pfry - Today at 01:58:16 AMHas anyone found TDR (available on many switches) to be worth anything? It's been about 20 years since I looked at it. (Edit: vague memories... it was only good for estimating length, and not much good for that. Sorry about the noise.)

Last post by wallaby501 - Today at 12:12:56 AMOddly enough, after another weird reboot (probably need to reinstall) it seems to be working somehow. Maybe it needed time (I gave it a day and no change but I guess it's been a few days at least by now) or something happened with that latest reboot.

Last post by mbr89 - Today at 12:09:15 AMIch verweise hier auch nochmal auf die www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-690/
Im Bereich der elektrischen Energieversorgung werden die DIN VDE Vorschriften als privates technisches Regelwerk mit Empfehlungscharakter allgemein anerkannt und von allen Parteien zur Vorgabe des Stands der Technik herangezogen.
Das ist keinesfalls ein Thema der Vertragsfreiheit.
Wenn jetzt ein Anbieter den Stand der Technik, der durch die Vorgaben des Réseaux IP Européens Network Coordination Centre definiert ist für seine Verträge ausschließen möchte, muss dieses Vorgehen von der BNetzA abgelehnt werden.

Last post by mbr89 - January 21, 2026, 11:59:36 PMQuote from: meyergru on January 21, 2026, 05:33:29 PMAus Deinen Angaben wird immer noch nicht klar, was Du eigentlich erhältst:
IA_NA?
IA_PD? Wenn ja, mit welcher Präfix-Länge? /56, /64 oder gar nicht?
Beachte auch, dass manche Provider nur Präfixe aushändigen, wenn man "Request prefix only" anhakt, siehe: https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=45822.0
Beantwortet der Screenshot / Schnittstellen: Übersicht deine Frage?
Quote from: meyergru on January 21, 2026, 05:33:29 PMAm Rande bemerkt, müsste der Provider und nicht die RegTP die Anschlussdaten bereitstellen. Offenbar ist der ISP aber so rigoros, dass er auch nicht sagt, wie man beispielsweise mit einer Fiber-Fritzbox oder sonstigem eigenen ONT arbeiten kann - und dass muss er, weil Endgerätefreiheit != Routerfreiheit. Wenn Du also aus dem Vertrag raus willst...
Der ISP hat wie aus einem Schreiben hervor geht von der BNetzA eine auf den Deckel bekommen,
deswegen ist jetzt mal die "Schnittstellen des öffentlichen Telekommunikationsnetzes der FairNetz gem. § 74 TKG" hochgeladen.
Bitte mal die PDF checken - ich sehe da keine Angabe zum Thema DHCPv6 drin
DHCP Client (RFC 2131) [2131]
IPv4/IPv6 Connectivity
Die RFC 2131 tut hier meiner Meinung nach nichts zur Sache
Es gibt aber in diesem Ortsteil keine Alternative zu VitroVonnect.

Last post by Patrick M. Hausen - January 21, 2026, 11:02:12 PMThis message is for the x86info package only, not for the plugin. Package messages from the FreeBSD pkg system can in almost all cases be ignored in the OPNsense context. There's a prominent (not enough?) help text at the bottom of the very UI page you copied this from.

25.7, 25.10 Series / Re: [SOLVED] How can I automat...
Last post by tessus - January 21, 2026, 10:56:12 PMYep, I read the script, but it's not working. I had the cronjob (Renew DNS for Wireguard on stale connections) scheduled to run every 5 minutes and it happened twice that the gateway was down but wg2 was not restarted. Of course it happened while I was sleeping thus it was offline for hours. I always had to manually restart the wg2 instance.
Only after I created my script, I never had the problem (of manually having to restart the interface) again. (I get notifications when it happens - only one so far.)
Creating an issue is not that easy, because the gw is usually online. Only sometimes it goes offline and I have no idea why. So I cannot forsee when this will happen and I cannot afford to disable my script and encounter potentially hours of no VPN connection.
Maybe I can add something to my script so that it will only restart the interface automatically when I am sleeping. Although this is a hassle, because I don't wear a smartwatch or a health tracker, which means I have to set a status var manually every time I go to sleep and get up. Rather a no-no on my side.
P.S.: I still think the current architecture has it backwards. It should be possible to trigger a script, when a gateway is down. pinger supports this. There just needs to be a field in the GUI to specify the script to run. As I mentioned before I am not a GUI person, thus I don't know how to do that. Otherwise I would have created a PR already. It's 5 minutes work (if you know how to do it): one field in the UI and invoke the dpinger with an additional parameter.
P.P.S.: Please note that I am not saying that your script is not working. It is not working for me for some reason. I only added my solution in case somebody runs into the same issue and the cronjob doesn't work for them either.

Last post by BrandyWine - January 21, 2026, 10:30:20 PMThis one says it can do crosstalk tests (but not sure what test for FEXT and NEXT). You can login to Amazon and use Rufus to post a question.
Amazon item B0DSHWHC7R "NOYAFA NF-8601S Network Cable Tester"
Another issue can be Alien Crosstalk, which is much harder to identify.
Crosstalk is an issue because it confuses the transceivers

Last post by pasha-19 - January 21, 2026, 10:24:28 PMI tried what I thought was the desired change. It appears from the notes that followed the update this option is deprecated and soon to be removed.
The following 5 package(s) will be affected (of 0 checked):
New packages to be INSTALLED:
cpu-microcode-intel: 20251111_1
libpci: 3.14.0
os-cpu-microcode-intel: 1.1
pciids: 20251206
x86info: 1.31.s03_1
Number of packages to be installed: 5
===> NOTICE:
This port is deprecated; you may wish to reconsider installing it:
Abandoned upstream, fails to identify anything remotely new according to upstream issue reports.
It is scheduled to be removed on or after 2025-06-30.
Thanks for identifying the option.
