26.7, 26.10 Series / Re: No link with Intel E810 on...

Last post by tuto2 - Today at 09:09:50 AM

The DEC devices carrying E810 25G ports were tested extensively with multiple modules going from 26.4 -> 26.10, tests passed just fine. Seeing the reports makes it likely the link partner plays a role in combination with the updated DDP package. We've seen at least one case where setting the mentioned tunable will cause a link down on 26.4, this is why it can't be set generically.

The options are:

dev.ice.X.requested_fec=auto
dev.ice.X.requested_fec=none
dev.ice.X.requested_fec=rs
dev.ice.X.requested_fec=fc

When using short range (SR) fiber, "fc" seems to be the right value, when using long range (LR), it's likely "rs".

Heard back from Zenarmor after the 2.7.2 update... "this got pushed to 2.7.3 because of the urgent fixes in 2.7.2"

General Discussion / Re: Anyone installed mdns-brid...

Last post by maplecrane52 - Today at 07:50:12 AM

The mdns-bridge package seems to be a feature-complete and up-to-date implementation of mDNS forwarding across interfaces for both IPv4 and IPv6. It handles only mDNS as opposed to the general-purpose (and IPv4-only) UDPBroadcastRelay, but at least it should make it easy for mDNS. It's getting harder to live without IPv6 nowadays, due to IoT gadgets, Apple and Google insisting on it.

There's no OPNsense plug-in for it, but it is in FreeBSD ports, so it should be ok to try. Anyone have any experience with it on OPNsense 25.7 or 26? Just looking for any concerns before I end up flooding everything :-)

I'd be more wary of the interface filtering than raw flood risk, mDNS gets noisy fast once multiple VLANs can see each other. The IPv6-only gap in UDPBroadcastRelay is exactly why this package looks tempting though.

For home use I would have expected dnsmasq:

I'm not specifically using this for IPv6 but I do have it running on v26.7. I had previously used this on pfSense but have switched to OPNsense now and was missing this. It installed fine but outside of the OPNsense GUI.

I am working on a plugin for this and am nearing completion. I have the GUI working and am able to configure / reconfigure the mdns-bridge from the GUI. Next steps are to finish the package creation and submit to the OPNsense group to get this added as os-mdns-bridge.

But this firewall is for home use so paying for the business edition is not something that I would want to consider. What's wrong with those plugins anyway?

Essentially the same experience as @mehrmann in #36 on a DEC3960 after upgrading from BE 26.4 -> 26.10.

Code Select Expand

dev.ice.0.fw_version: fw 7.3.4 api 1.7 nvm 4.30 etid 8001af27 netlist 4.2.5000-1.12.0.87fd3c77 oem 1.3429.0
dev.ice.0.ddp_version: ICE OS Default Package version 1.3.41.0, track id 0xc0000001

Link partner is a Juniper EX4400-24X with the EX4400-EM-4Y expansion module installed, connected via SFP28 DAC. The DACs are coded for Intel on one end, Juniper on the other, and worked until the update.

As with the other cases mentioned here, disabling DDP brought the links back up. Requesting RS-FEC wasn't successful, but FC-FEC/BASE-R works with DDP enabled.

Looks like my modem needed a reboot.  IPv6 gateway is back.  Closing.

Ok, I just noticed the IPv6 gateway is down.  Switched on "Settings->General->Prefer IPv4 over IPv6" and the updates completed successfully.

Is there a known issue with DHCPv6?  I've been away for a few weeks.
