Hardware and Performance / Re: DEC750 Questions
Last post by OPNenthu - Today at 09:56:47 PM
This might have a work-around (I'm curious to know) but my concern about DEC750 is the single USB port.  The procedure for importing configs on a fresh install requires two ports in tandem: https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/install.html#opnsense-importer

Can you just pull out the live installer USB and insert the second one when prompted, then swap back?

Also curious: Ryzen V1500B supports ECC.  Is it used?

Otherwise, from what I can tell, the N100 and embedded Ryzen are quite similar with tradeoffs mainly in clock speed (routing) vs. threads (VPN capacity, etc).  Slight edge to N100 for power draw.  Probably the edge goes to Ryzen for stabilty and lack of "quirks."

Design, hands down, goes to the DEC.  If I have the budget for it, that is the device I would prefer to look at :)

I've now set hw.vtnet.csum_disable=0 on two OPNsense instances with vtnet interfaces (one amd64, one aarch64).
Will report back with anecdotal observations (remind me if I forget because everything works).

options=ec07bb<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,JUMBO_MTU,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,TSO6,LRO,VLAN_HWTSO,LINKSTATE,RXCSUM_IPV6,TXCSUM_IPV6,HWSTATS>
Cheers

From following freebsd-net I am not entirely convinced that this is fixed for good in releng/14.

If the DHCP server in LAN98 sends a default gateway that is the cause for your static route. Don't use DHCP or any dynamic configuration for anything but WAN.

Thanks.  This is for local overrides only, not a real local zone.

I did previously read the guide linked by @monviech, but must have missed a few subleties.  I read it again.  Thanks, all good.

I will nitpick :D.... Your signature says you use the older 740...

Migrating config between HW is actually easy, usually.

What you need to know is what are the names of the NICs on the new device. On you have it you just edit your config and replace the current interface name with the new one. After that you import it to new device, reboot and done. This is how I migrated HW from (APU) igb to (N5105) igc.

I have a few DEC750 and I run development, community and business versions on them and scrap their setups all the time to build new test setups.

One also runs as my main router with the community version.

Theres no limit in which software you can run. Its also very stable, nothing weird ever happens.

(Disclaimer I work for Deciso)

I wanted to talk to Patrick about this, too. Our own testing was inconclusive.
