An SG 1100 running 2.4.5 .... wow. Put it back where you found it. In a nearby future, you'll be getting a Retro-price for that one. KIM-1 and original Apple-1 are already way over $1000 these days.
More serious : get in contact with TAC, get a more recent firmware by mail, and upgrade by re installing. You'll be up an running within minutes.
Your 3100 : your 23.09.1 isn't old at all. As a matter of fact, the successor just came out yesterday, and is called 24.03.
About DHCP : Visit System > Advanced > Networking and switch "ISC DHCP". You'll be suing the DHCP server that is compatible with the entire planet again.
@imark77 said in SG-1100 current firmware version? And DHCP troubles?:
when did networking get so complicated
Wait ... Why ? Ah, I get it. You have IPv6 questions ? 😊
I'll be serious again : nothing really changed. Admining a router firewall still needs some continuous training, a bit like planes, pilots, MAX versions, etc, you know what I mean.
pfSense is like a Swiss Army firewall router device. 50 ways to do nifty things. 500 to hurt yourself.
@imark77 said in SG-1100 current firmware version? And DHCP troubles?:
today my mom's new Mac doesn't (no IP address assigned but manual works)
Neither cable or Wifi didn't work ?
Did you saw the DHCP requests from the MAC reaching pfSense (see the pfSense DHCP server logs) ?
My opinion : stay away from "static IP assignments", as this needs manually handling and people tend to 'forget' things (I do).
