Note

Prior to pfSense® software version 2.4.3, the switched Ethernet ports on the SG-3100 did not support auto MDI-X and required crossover cable unless the client-side connection supported auto MDI-X. This was resolved with 2.4.3 and later versions and a crossover cable is no longer required.

Warning

The LAN ports do not support the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). Two or more ports connected to another Layer 2 switch, or connected to 2 or more different interconnected switches, could create a flooding loop between the switches. This can cause the router to stop functioning until the loop is resolved.

Other Ports¶

Power
- 12VDC 3.33A with threaded locking connector
- Power Consumption 5W (idle)
Recessed Reset Button (performs a hard reset, immediately turning the system off)

Warning

A hard reset of the system could cause data corruption and should be avoided. Halt or reboot the system through the console menu or the webConfigurator to avoid data corruption.
