      If you used the script I posted above WAN should be ix0 and connects to port 0.
      LAN should be ix1 and connects to ports 1-7.

      Of course you can change that to be however you want. Add VLANs to get 8 separate interfaces/ports for example.

                It will run 23.01 just fine but, as mentioned, the device hints required for the switch will be lost at upgrade.
                You will need to add them back at the console after the reboot. That might be twice coming from 22.05.

                    Also this applies as it's the same switch: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/13993
                    Unlikely you would hit it unless you have two in HA with a direct link.

                      Check etherswitchcfg shows the correct switch config.

                          It should show you the current config for the switch.
                          If it just errors then the switch hasn't been setup correctly.
                          If it shows something but it's incorrect then the switch setup script probably didn't get run by the shellcmd.

                          The actual output depends how you have it setup.

                              If you're using my example script above where the WAN is port 1 and LAN is ports 2-8 then it should look like:

                                      No that wasn't required in 22.05. Something changed in the switch driver defaults. Probably the same reason for that MDI/X bug.

                                          Hello,
                                          I tried the whole night to bring me M270 to work.
                                          But I didn't have success.

                                          Can you please explain more detailed, what are the steps for get it done?

                                          Thank you so much.
