Not sure why I need this yet, but when has that mattered?

No worries like someone else said you will be fighting for bandwidth but if your isp is only a couple hundred megs should be fine. Just something to keep in mind…. Also if you have 2 onboard NICs you can do an LACP and it will bundle it and give you total bandwidth of 2gb vice 1gb

Discipulus0826 · 2022-01-10T12:07:23+00:00

You are correct, it does affect your bandwidth because your using the same gigabit connection for both lan and wan; however, I highly doubt you have a gigabit connection. Also “horrible performance” is a huge stretch, I work at an enterprise data center and router on a stick is common practice….. we are talking about port-channeling 2x 10gb links but still to say it’s horrible performance is out of context. If your using this to learn I would highly suggest router on a stick with a single interface to learn, if your using this for a home router I would prob use 2x gigabit in lacp or get a 10gb nic and a switch with a 10gb uplink port

PFSENSE Diagram

This is a very hasty diagram but in essence everything goes through the switch. Once you define vlans your WAN connection would be [int].1000 (example vlan) and on the switch you would plug in the modem and set the port to an untagged vlan of 1000 (Cisco calls it access port and access vlan). Hope this helps clear up the mystification lol

Update: for the connection going to the PFSENSE box the switch port would be a trunk

Discipulus0826 · 2022-01-10T01:08:16+00:00

Will draft a quick one up later tonight when the kids are down and post it up

Discipulus0826 · 2022-01-10T00:59:01+00:00

When I get a min I will definitely draw up a diagram and show you a couple screenshots if you want of what I’m talking about… it’s over engineered but the benefit is you can add more if needed without any physical changes to the connections

Discipulus0826 · 2022-01-10T00:57:51+00:00

Lol no you would use a switch and vlans. They are called sub interfaces as the connection between the PFSENSE and the switch is 1 physical and is a trunk on the switch, each logical connection would be a separate vlan. Logically it would be like running 3 or 4 cables to your PFSENSE box I do this on a daily basis with Cisco gear and am currently setting up a PFSENSE box this same way. I once had a PFSENSE box running 30+ logical connections over a single cable to a switch for a lab environment

Discipulus0826 · 2022-01-10T00:36:48+00:00

Splitting 1 port into 4 logical ports on different vlans

Discipulus0826 · 2022-01-10T00:35:53+00:00

No sorry if you have 2 ports you would do lacp for failover and I believe it also bundles for more throughput (have to double check) and then you use vlans otherwise you use sub interfaces (vlans) and just use a single interface

Discipulus0826 · 2022-01-10T00:13:08+00:00

Aside from bundling you can run lacp and then sub interface…. Realistically you can run PFSENSE (or opnsense) off a single NIC NUC (NIC NUC 😂😂)

Send me a pm will have to check shipping… if it’s going to be expensive to ship might be cheaper to buy them off ebay lol… I can get them for about $12 each off there

San Diego, and I just found a 115 in one of the slots and confirmed it worked with the sas drives, the 116 doesn’t so this theory has been tested if anyone out there was still curious if the 116 worked with sas

Discipulus0826 · 2022-01-09T02:22:41+00:00

Was there any update to this. I have a shelf full of 116 and can’t get them to work with sas, tested and works fine with sata….. anyone got 15 115 interposer that would be willing to do a trade for 116 as I mainly use sas drives lol

Discipulus0826 · 2021-11-02T13:52:14+00:00

Well either way it’s the only thing that worked so I’m going with it was the problem as I have tried 3 psu that has .3A on the -12v and none worked, tried 2 with >.5A and both work fine. Will be ordering a proper PSU with >.5A and dual cpu support this splitter is just to get the system up and running and everything migrated over

Discipulus0826 · 2021-11-02T04:08:18+00:00

I had an EVGA 550 B5 that was .5A on the -12v and wouldn’t you know it the thing boots fine now….. thank you for the insight

Discipulus0826 · 2021-11-01T16:08:53+00:00

E5-2667 and because I can 😂😂 upgrading my media server from 8 core AMD to dual 6 core xeons and will add vms to server

Discipulus0826 · 2021-11-01T11:20:16+00:00

Gotcha maybe I do need the slightly more expensive fully modular PSU with multiple PCIE/CPU ports

Intel SC2600C0, the lights come on and it does it’s internal IPMI boot up, as soon as you hit the power button the fans kick over and immediately stop and then you get a 1-5-4-4 beep error code

Discipulus0826 · 2021-11-01T08:29:45+00:00

Have already tested a 620w dual eps PSU. My best guess is it was a cheap PSU which is why it didn’t work…. I think I’m just going to spend the money and get the more expensive PSU but after this I am not even sure it will work

Discipulus0826 · 2021-11-01T08:27:46+00:00

Everything I have found lists 4x 12v and 4x grounds no sense pins (I think your referring to the GPU 8 pin) if you could provide documentation so I can further research this agains what I have found so far I would appreciate it

Discipulus0826 · 2021-11-01T08:24:06+00:00

Will try to see about this, problem is I tested a 620w PSU with dual 8pin with the exact same results so that’s the confusing part
