changing NIC card for LAN side
-
Run that command at the CLI. Or that particular command can be run via Diag > Command Prompt.

I only see these 2 for that card and the other 2 onboard nics
ix0@pci0:5:0:0: class=0x020000 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x8086 device=0x10fb subvendor=0x1374 subdevice=0x1a08
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = '82599ES 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+ Network Connection'
class = network
subclass = ethernet

Do you think I have to rebuild pfsense for the other 2 ports to become active?
-
Hmm, I wouldn't expect a rebuild to make any difference there. If the NICs don't appear on the bus that's some low level incompatibility.
Can you test the card in something else?
-
yes I can do that. Will update shortly. Just to see if all 4 ports are active and not just 2?
-
tried it on my truenas scale box and only 2 ports show up - only 2 ports light on.
check the network settings in truenas only 2 ports show up there also -
Yes, I'd expect to see 4 PCI devices shown even if they are not attached to a driver.
-
So does that mean I have got a bad card?
-
It could just be a compatibility issue with that board. Or maybe you didn't look for 'none' devices in the pciconf output? That's how unattached devices are shown.
-
Oh, missed your TrueNAS comment. That doesn't look good then. Especially since I believe TrueNAS is Linux based now so it's not a FreeBSD driver issue.

@sstatjm Curious... Did you ever get this sorted out? I am building out the 3rd node for a ceph cluster and planned to use it in Debian (Proxmox VE) and pass it thru to my VM of pfsense kinda like ive been doing on two other machines in a cluster + CARP setup :-\
