      @sammy2netgo Thats because you don't have a wan conection.
      Fix it by fixing the xgspon trouble.

          @sammy2netgo Probably have to get an ONT from your provider if the sfp doesn't work.

              @sammy2netgo You don't have a wan right now. Yiou will see all kinds of errors on it. Disregard them until you figure out how to get a connection.

              Did you do Stephens suggestions yet??

                        Or just enable SSH which is one checkbox:
                        https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/config/advanced-admin.html#secure-shell-ssh

                        Or use the console directly.

                        But there's a good chance you can't create a connection directly using just the module. And the code to separate the WAN data from other available services may not exist in pfSense.

                          few questions to the OP or others
                          I was able to get the gpon sfp unit to work but now working on xgs-pon. No mater what I plug the xgs-pon unit into I can not get it to light up and detected.
                          My primary question is those with the xgs-pon sfp+ unit did you at least get the option to select that unit? I just want to make sure it is not a dead unit.

                            Does pfSense even show the module is present in ifconfig -vvv ?

                              Nothing. But it does look like this is basically a all in one media converter in a Sfp form factor. Not a true sfp+ unit for a nic card.

                              I hope eventually we can use a proper sfp+ unit as xgs-pon gets more common

                                Mmm, no way it can link if the NIC doesn't even see the module as present.

                                Maybe a power requirement issue?

                                  The problem from my understanding is this is not a proper transceiver. It’s more a interface from the Fiber to the xgspon onu. Need something with a MAC address capability and this does not offer it.
