        @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.
