How are you testing the igb ports?
I would expect those to just work. There should be no difference between igb0 and igb1-7.
The order they are presented in pfSense may not be the same though, you'd need to check the status of all NICs with cables connected. Do you not even see link LEDs?

hi, i setup all ports with statik IP and DHCP-server... and tested the funktion. the port numbers are mixed around ... 3 ports works, one without DHCP Funktion, 2 after 1minute at 100Mbit and 3 are totaly without Funktion... cfconfig ans sysctl looks i think normal -
Hmm, well that sounds odd. Do you know the ports all worked normally under the Watchguard OS?
-
no, sorry, i got the box without CFast card.
is there a possebility to reinstall the igb driver, because i have don ethe installation on the HyperV -
I'd be very surprised if it's a driver problem. If it works on two of those NICs it should work identically on all of them.

i only was thinking about an driver problem because the Prots are totaly mixed ...port 1 is igb0, port 3 is igb1, port 4 is igb6, port 7 is igb3 .... -
That's not a driver problem. The NICs are assigned in the order they are discovered on the PCIe bus. It's possible to force the order using PCI device wiring but I would not recommend it since reinstalling defaults the config and mixes up everything again! Better to just assign the interfaces in the expected order after install so the ordering is held in the config.

Do you have the default NIC modules in that? An 8 port 1G copper module and a 4 port 10G fiber module?
-
@stephenw10
yes, i have the default modules ... i have alsow cahnged the position of it.
i reinstalled the whole pfsense 2.7 and upgraded it to pfsense+ ... but with the same result ... maybe the card is death :) -
Hmm, maybe. Though the ports usually fail completely if they see some sort of electrical surge etc. Do you see link LEDs on all ports?
-
@stephenw10
no, some of these ports are generaly not active ... no LED
