      Hmm, so when the ports are part of a bridge they link to the switch but only at 1G? Presumably as shown above with pfSense showing 'Unknown' and the switch showing 1G?

      But when removed from the bridge they are able to link at 10G?

      You're running 2.6 here? You might try a 2.7 snapshot as a test. The behaviour of bridges inherited port settings changed there recently.

        No, the connection to the switch never work no matter if the ports in SM are part of BRIDGE or not. At most they auto-negotiate to 1G with both DAC and Fiber module.

        The link between SM work when removed from BRIDGE with both fiber and DAC cable.

        So I still give 2.7 a try?

          I'm running pfsense+ and the version is 22.05.

            Then try 23.01. If you're running ZFS you can roll back the BE snap to 22.05 if required.

              @stephenw10 Tried the 23.01 build but same issue no luck there either. Tested all similar cases with it but none worked.

                So unable to get a link to the switch at all or only able to link 1G?

                You haven't seen a 10G link to the switch at any time?

                    Hmm. What options does the switch give you for link speeds on the port?

                      @stephenw10 These are the options I see on all 10G ports on both my Ubiquiti SWs

                        Ok so if you set both ends to 10G fixed does it still not link?

                          @stephenw10 If I try specifying 10G on both or either one the link doesn't work.

                            Hmm, not sure what more to suggest.

                            You could try booting a live Linux distro and see if it links there. At least confirm it's not a hardware issue.

                              @stephenw10 Yeah I guess that's the last thing to try.

                              The weird part is the port work fine when connected to each other like ix2 <---> ix3 but don't when connected to ubiquiti sw ๐Ÿ˜ž

                              Thanks for all the suggestions and help though, really appreciate it!
