      Does anyone know of a way or a package that would allow me to generate an email alert when a connection is made on a certain interface on certain ports?

      I am running 2.3.1 on a SG-2440. Thanks

        Nothing of that sort exists currently.

        You could write a rule to log the traffic in question and use a remote syslog server to receive those log messages, and then you could have a script on the server collecting those logs notify you.

          Isn't that related to port security of your switch?
          I'm pretty sure that can be handled by SNMP and the various tools available.

          Wait, with ports you refer to IP ports, not switch ports, right?
          Something in the SNMP MIBs for pfSense maybe?
