[Solved] In/out errors on LAN
-
Ahh.. File that one away. Thanks.
-
Found it by pure chance as I had the exact same thing. So I went to remove the 2 unused port so I could setup a static connection to see if it was a cable/nic issue. Just figured I might as well check the interfaces again after that and since then no errors.
I would suggest a second verification just to be sure.
-
I can't redo my network right now with this box as it's in production otherwise I would test to verify.
But based on what I saw when this was happening to me I think you're right. Hopefully this can be corrected in an update to PFSense so we don't get more threads like these with worried noobies like myself. ;D

I've built a new PFSense system and I'm having some In/out errors on my LAN. Is this normal or do I have a port/cable issue? (I've already changed the cable and the error rate stayed the same).
This is my config map.
Modem -> PFsense -> 4x1Gb Lan Bridged -> 1Gb Switch/Access Point (WiFi + 4 Ethernet Ports).
I'm only using one of the LAN ports on my PFSense system out of the four available. I bridged the four ports as I intended to use more than one.
Here is the information from the affected interface, this is the Bridge. No other interface is showing any In/Out Error or Colossians.
Based on this the error rate is about 1.06%
Is this something I should be concerned about? I'm not having any issues accessing the internet, the speed is what I should be receiving and is identical to my old equipment. But obviously seeing errors of any kind is worrying with a new system, this is my first PFSense build also.
Thank you for any replies. It is much appreciated.
I can verify the errors.. if you have bridget the ports and you have unused ports enabled.. you get errors on the bridge.. just unenable the unused ports and you are good.. this is still happening in 2.3 realice version.. :)

New pfSense user here, sorry to revive an old thread but I can also verify that this is still a thing with version 2.4.4.
I bridged two of my LAN-ports today and immediately after that I began receiving output errors on the bridge-interface (with the other network cable unplugged).
-
I can verify that this issue is still present in 2.4.5-RELEASE-p1.
Unused ports connected to a bridge interface generate "Errors Out" in the Interface Statistics log.
-
Still present in pfsense + 2102 .

Still happening with 22.05-RELEASE (2.6). Although my setup is slightly different. I am using LAGG to combine port 1 and 2 on my 4 port Intel card (rebadged HP brand) to connect to the Motorola MB8600 Cable modem to make use of the higher speeds. It's not really affecting anything in terms of speed so not too concerned about it but would love to see the errors go away.
I may eventually replace the modem to get the 2.5 gig port instead of the four 1 gig ports to simplify things.
-
I went ahead and assigned the unused ports on the interface page and left them as disabled. So far no errors other than the 6 during boot which I am going to ignore. Still using LAGG.
I will keep checking and report back.

@darkk Interesting. I get a handful errors appearing on the Out interfaces for VLANs when there is a system restart. After that, they stop. Maybe related. I don't know.
