Here are some links and bookmarks I kept from earlier.

Code Select Expand

sha256 /boot/loader.efi /boot/efi/efi/boot/bootx64.efi /boot/efi/efi/freebsd/loader.efi

Code Select Expand

efibootmgr -v

Code Select Expand

strings /boot/efi/efi/freebsd/loader.efi | grep "EFI loader"
Those commands look like they will be helpful as well.
However, what is the reason OPNsense itself doesn't update the bootloader when performing a firmware upgrade?

Thanks everyone! I'm surprised it has released already. I was expecting to wait until 27.x :).

- You don't need to, but you could just in case.
- Doing it anyway can prevent having issues with upgrading OPNsense/FreeBSD in the future after not having upgraded the Boot Loader for many years in a row as written in some posts here on the forum.
- If you are using ZFS as the File System and you want to update/upgrade your ZPOOL then you need to update/upgrade the Boot Loader first to make sure your OPNsense/FreeBSD will boot succesfully after the next reboot !!

It looks like the bootloader upgrade went smoothly.

NICE! :)

Do I need to upgrade the bootloader with every OPNsense major upgrade? (ex. v26.7 -> v27.1)

I am considering creating a F.A.Q. part with that kind of questions in the future :)

There are multiple answers to that question :
- You don't need to, but you could just in case whenever the underlying FreeBSD Release changes like it did this year : 14.x to 15.x
- Doing it anyway can prevent having issues with upgrading OPNsense/FreeBSD in the future after not having upgraded the Boot Loader for many years in a row as written in some posts here on the forum.
- If you are using ZFS as the File System and you want to update/upgrade your ZPOOL then you need to update/upgrade the Boot Loader first to make sure your OPNsense/FreeBSD will boot succesfully after the next reboot !!

That's all I can think of right now...

Gracias a tu ayuda y de la del vídeo de Naseros he podido configurar un teléfono IP Grandstream GXP1625. Lo había intentado todo, incluido las IAs que estaban muy perdidas.

Good to know! Is your X710 setup also using VLAN tagging with SR-IOV, or are you using the virtual functions without VLANs?
