Hi together

I am new to OPNsense but really like what I see so far  :)
I bought a DEC740 recently and are in the setup process currently.

How do I get information about what my hardware is capable und what the best settings are?

For example:

  • Can I use Hardware acceleration under System → Settings → Miscellaneous ?
  • Should I enable the 2 GB swap file?
  • What are the best settings under Firewall → Settings → Advanced → Miscellaneous? What to pick for Firewall optimization an max. Table entries?
  • Am I able to enable Hardware CRC in the Interface Settings? What about Hardware TSO and LRO
Are there any other useful settings I should choose for my device?

I am not able to find this out from the specs of the DEC740 and not from the documentation. So maybe one of you can help e out?

Thank you very much :)

Just one tidbit: Do not use hardware CRC offloading on the 10G interfaces:
