Is local pickup an option? If you still have one I am in for it either Sunday or next week.

Of course. Feel free to email me.

Did you happen to ever get QAT working on these? ...I can vouch for Blue Fox as sterling seller with fast shipping on previous transactions. This is a great deal for solid routers/firewall box

As only pfSense Plus supports QAT, I've not personally tried it (my colo only has 100mbit, so little benefit to my IPsec tunnel), but it should work.

Thank You, sounds like QAT will work on PFsense +

Thanks for meeting up today @BlueFox I am excited for this little box.

Still available?

Still available?

Yep, feel free to PM me.

Another happy customer; thanks for the fast turnaround!

FWIW, QAT seems to work fine even on pfSense CE; you just need to compile the kernel modules on another FreeBSD box, transfer them over, and load them manually.

Still available, but I'm traveling currently, like many for the holidays, so I won't be able to ship immediately. Please PM me and we can sort things out.

 

[Hightechredneck]

Still have 1? cost with shipping?

Yes, still available. Shipping depends on location, but is generally $10 at most, assuming you're within the continental US.

The NICs have relays that can permit traffic to flow between two of them when the unit is off if you want. Usually used for in-line traffic monitoring/filtering. You can toggle the functionality on/off in the UEFI settings.

Question: in theory, if one was to run a Palo Alto vm on this and pass through the bypass nics, configure those interfaces as a virtual wire (transparent firewall) – would traffic continue to flow over the NICs with the VM and / or whole host powered off?

Am I understanding that right?

You can certain set it up that way. For loss of power or turned off, you would change the BIOS settings for the relays to toggle them to close.

If it's just a VM down, you would need to do that via software, presumably through your hypervisor since it would know the VM's status. You can toggle how the bypass functionality behaves via SMBus. Aaeon provides some examples in their manual starting on page 98. See: https://data-us.aaeon.com/DOWNLOAD/MANUAL/FWS-2360 manual 3rd Ed.pdf
