[SOLVED] A lot of VLANs = slow GUI

[Lukas]

First I’d like to thank you for OPNsense and this great forum and support. My post might sound negative but I don’t mean it. I’m very grateful for OPNsense.

I need to define a lot of VLANs and interfaces on top of them (each with own subnet). I was tired of “clicking” to add more VLANs so I carefully edited and imported XML and I defined approx. 150 VLANs. After that GUI became very slow when I try to apply changes. For example when I change FW rule and apply changes then it takes approx. 1 - 1.5 minute to finish.

I wasn’t sure what is causing the slow GUI so just for test I added another approx 400 VLANs (total 512, just VLANs, I didn’t assign interfaces) and I checked that when I click on Apply I need to wait 4 - 4.5 minutes before internet browser finishes loading.

And reboot is very slow too but that doesn’t bother me.

I’m sure that OPNsense has enough resources. I use approx. 10% RAM and I have 4 XEON cores.

I understand that I probably overloaded the system and that there is no solution to speed it up. But if there is a solution that I’d like to ask you to share it with me.

Thank you,
Lukas
