            Ok, so 5 igb NICs. But you say it has 8 ports total? If it has some sprt of internal switch that could be a problem.

              The Tp link has 8 and the qotom has 5

                Qotom Mini PC w/8 ports

                OK, that was just a typo then?

                So what's logged when it disconnects and then re-links?

                What does ifconfig -vvvm igc0 show? Assuming igc0 is one of the ports that's flapping?

                  igc1 flags=8863UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING.txt

                  Hope these are the two items you want. If not please let me know where to find what your looking for.

                  Thanks

                    Hmm, OK so all the igc ports behave the same?

                    Before the reboot in that log we can see igc flapping every 5s or so.

                    After rebooting we see it flap once during the boot process then it stays up for ~2mins. Does it remain linked correctly after that?

                      Yes it stays up every time. Seems a reboot of the Qotom is what is required. I tried reboot the TP Link but that failed getting it to relink.

                        Didn't answer the first question. Keep in mind PfS isn't doing anything with ports 2-4. So if I pulg and unplug from them I always get a link right away. I have not set PfS to use any of those ports as LAN yet.

                          Ok, well first try re-assigning LAN as a different NIC and make sure that behaves the same.

                          The only time I've anything like this was when setting igc to 'autoselect' rather than 'default' in the config after having linked at 1G.

                          I note I do have hardware checksum off-loading disabled on test devices here. I wouldn't expect that to make any difference to linking but wort trying.

                          You can check the sysctls for igc1 like:

                            Here are the sysctls:
                            sysctl hw.igc.txt

                            Now I did a test by changing PfS to use igc.2 in place of igc.1 attached are resulting files.
                            After reboot.txt
                            After unplug igc.2 and plug back in.txt

                            As you will notice I experienced the same issue.

                            Thanks for all your help.

                              Hmm, looks near identical to any igc port I have here.

                              It does that when connected to anything? A host directly for example?

                                    I'm no FreeBSD/pfSense boot-log guru.
                                    But wasn't it an 8-port Qotom ?

                                    I only see it detect igc0..igc4 ... where are the last 3 net IF's ?

                                    Could it be bad hw ?

                                      I think that's what I said early on but it is a 5 port.

                                        Can you get the log covering it start to fail after it has been stable?

                                        So showing what is logged when you first disconnect and reconnect the cable.

                                          The file show a fresh boot through disconnect and reconnect then another fresh boot to bring everything back up.

                                            Hmm, the only thing of any significance I see there is that when the interface comes up after boot it does so before check_reload_status runs. Later the order is reversed and the link bounces. However that's no different to the igc NICs in the 6100 or 4100.

                                            Are you able to try a 2.7 snapshot there? It has slightly more recent code. I'm not aware of any updates that would affect igc but there may be something.

                                            I can only imagine it has a different PHY and that is somehow seeing the link change.
