    Do either SFP modules offered work with the 6100?

      Hmm, interesting. I would have expected enabling ix1.7 to be sufficient.

      Yes, there's no way to set that to 2.5G, it only supports autoselect. Though some ix cards have been shows to link at 2.5G I would not expect that to do so.

        @stephenw10 Got it working without ix1 interface. The "trick" was to not disable ix1 before deleting it. Leaving it enabled and deleting it works.

        Ordered the Ubiquiti SFP+ modul to check if it's recognized by the 6100. Will keep you up to date.

        EDIT: found out that I can set my SFP modul via CLI to 2.5G (HSGMII mode). But don't want to test it. Just for information.

          As a media opt? What command are you using for that?

            @stephenw10 I'm SSH into it. Not via pfSense.

              Like to the GPON module directly?

                  Ah, that's fun! Yeah if you set it to 2.5G I would not expect the ix port to see it as that. It might just connect anyway but if it doesn't how would you reset it to 1G? Unless it has a hardware reset maybe?

                    @stephenw10 If it doesn't I have to put it into my Unifi switch. Unfortunately Amazon didn't deliver the 2.5G Ubiquiti module today so I have to wait until next week.

                      Hi

                      @mrsunfire Did you try Ubiquiti SFP+ on your 6100 ? does it work at 2.5G ?

                      I also have a 6100 and try to make my ONT at 2.5G but it doesn't work I can't force the speed on pfsense. I tried to force my ONT on mode hsgmii ( fw_setenv sgmii_mode 5 ) with no success

                      My ONT works well at 2.5G on my switch mikrotik but I'm stuck at 1G on pfense.

                      Really annoying that we can't force speed on SFP+ ports on netgate 6100

                        @florent-pascal No I didn't try. I'm back using my 2.5G RJ45 Modem provided by ISP for the moment.

                          @mrsunfire I was also able to get the Ubiquiti OM-MM-10G-D to work, I'm still setting up the 6100 to replace an 1100. I was able to verify that the FW is able to hot swap the modules with a ticket as the docs do not state either way. (https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/solutions/netgate-6100/io-ports.html#compatible-sfp-sfp-modules).
