I suspect the OP is using SFP to indicate either SFP or SFP+ here.
I would certainly check the link speed though, 900Mbps seems suspiciously like 1G.
Also check the flow control settings, they are likely enabled by default and can be a problem in some setups.

Yup, if you're able to send is your old config just open a ticket with us and let us know which ports on the XG-7100 you would like to use for each defined interface.
We can convert it so you can just import it directly.
You don't need a support subscription for that.
Good day,
I think it is necessary to solve it on the switch via ACL ... I don't have a UniFi switch, so I can't advise it much. I only have UniFi AP AC RL. I don't have any NETGATE devices yet, I'm just getting ...
1: You do not need to contact support to update the firmware. That process is only needed if you need to reflash it from scratch (cleaning the built in flash). It comes with a firmware build onboard, and that will update itself just like you are use to on your server.
2: It does not need internet to be setup. BUT: The GUI is very very slow when no Internet/DNS is available, and if you restore a config to it, no packages are installed automatically from the config. So it’s a tradeoff: You can restore your config “offline” on a very slow GUI, and you’ll have to reinstall any packages (all settings are preserved) once it gets online and have internet access. OR: You can shut down your server, insert the SG-3100 and restore your config.
You can recover the config from the pfSense install image as long as the partition is not completely destroyed, it gives you option before you install:

Worst case you can cat the recovered config to the console from there and copy it out into a file.
Bridging VLANs like that is generally not recommended.
How many internal interfaces do you need configured like that?
If it's just one you could try breaking the ix2-3 lagg and reconfiguring the switch to connect Eth8 to ix2 directly and bridge that. Removing the VLAN will probably prevent the loss there.
Make sure you have some access to the firewall other than via the switched ports if you try that as it's very easy to get locked out!
Do you need to filter traffic across the bridge? If not you would be better off using an external switch to set that up.
Resolved. I keep forgetting to check the vlan tab under switch...
I keep getting thrown off by the xg-7100 have two places for vlans...
Added the port to that and it works now.
The jumper is there in case you end up with a damaged uboot image on the eMMC, you can force it to ignore that and load from SD to recover. If the eMMC is complete blank it should try to load from SD anyway without the jumper.
Resolved issue after opening ticket with netgate. It was an install error on their part. I used the recovery image to install from scratch and selected ada0 as the target.
