          It could be a bce(4) bug:

            Mmm, looks like the attachment failed.

            Does the crash follow the hardware or is it still on the same pfSense interface?

                  So showing in bce1. But you swapped bce0 with bce2?

                  <118>WAN  -> bce1
                  <118>LAN  -> bce2
                  <118>OPT1 -> bce3
                  <118>OPT2 -> bce0
                  

                  It looks like you might have re-assgined all of them....

                        Are the bce0-3 network interfaces on a PCI card ? if so, you could change the entire card form some other quad NIC Intel based card.

                        Well, you can see it yourself now : line 11 :

                        curthread    = 0xfffff808337bf740: pid 12 tid 100185 "irq257: bce1"
                        

                        IRQ handling for bce1 crashed.

                            I had some NIC's dying on me, during the last 10 years or so. But the were all PCI card NIC's - so, when dead, I swap them.

                            Your solution : get a good 4 port NIC, put in a 'big' type type device, fire up a VM (Hyper-V on Windows 10 will do, as I know it works as I'm doing that @home) and you install pfSense in the VM : works fine.

                            Can you tell us what you're using right now ?

                              @gertjan i have installed pfsense directly to raid bootable linux should i change server or just create it on vm it will better with it? with these port because getting nic pci card is not an option for me as i have spare server avaliable

                                Don't know what that is - looks complicated to me.
                                What about a dedicated device ? Or a VM ?

                                should i change server

                                pfSense is not a server - pfSense doesn't "serve" anything.
                                It's a router (firewall).

                                @solis said in Diagnosing a PFSense Crash Report:

                                just create it on vm it will better with it?

                                If it's ok for you it's ok for me.
                                Best are these.
                                Or build your own "motherboard + quand NIC PCI card + power.
                                Or create a VM, assign 4 NIC ports.
                                Just my opinion of course.

                                Wait .... Language issue here ?
                                You have a spare server device - but that's not an option. Then why even mentioning it ?

                                You issue seesm easy to my :
                                You have a bad NIC - or multiple bad NIC's.
                                The NIC are build onto the motherboard, so you have to use another solution.
                                Pick the one that pleases you most.
                                No one can say what is "better" - that's up to you.

                                  I'm unclear what you swapped here. The crashes were initially in bce0 and now they appear to be in bce1, so that looks like the crash following the assignment.

                                  But you said you swapped bce2?

                                  It could be failing hardware. It could be a bce(4) bug. Either way if you cannot swap out the bce NIC I would suggest installing on something different if you can.
