      I have 8200 Max and the current interface assignment is as follow:-
      ISP1 - ix3 (1 Gig)
      ISP2 - ix0 (10 Gig)
      LAN - igc0 (1 Gig)

      I am trying the change my LAN from igc0 (1 Gig) to ix1 (10 Gig). I have tried assigning the LAN interface to ix1(10 Gig), the assignment works fine and the interface comes up but there is no connectivity. Anything plugged into 10 Gig Lan will simply not work and not reach out to internet.

      There are no VLANs in my setup.

        It comes up and it linked at 10G? ifconfig -vvm ix1 shows the correct link?

          @stephenw10 said in Changing LAN Interface Network Port:

          ifconfig -vvm ix1

          Yes, that is correct.
          I have also tried hard coding the interface to 10 Gig, it stays up.

            What does LAN show in Interfaces > Status?

            What is it connected to?

            How are you testing?

              @stephenw10 Conection

              LAN ----------> Netgear 10 gig Switch ---------------> Dell Server Running Windows Server 2022(10 Gig Nic)

              Windows Server 2022 has static IP and I am trying to ping my default gateway and 8.8.8.8.

                0 inbound packets then.

                It also doesn't have an IPv4 address which I assume is incorrect?

                If so the first thing I'd try is resaving the LAN to apply it.

                  @stephenw10 yeah, it does not have any ip at the moment as I just brought the interface up to get the layer 2 connectivity photo.

                  I can send you more info at night as it is production environment and I cannot do any changes right now.

                    Ah, OK. Then, yes, bring it up with an IP and something connected to it and make sure you see packets on the counters in and out.

                      I have continuous ping running from the windows server connected to 10 gig port, but no packets on in.

                        @stephenw10 I was able to figure it out.

                        There was a problem on my Netgear switch. Old MTU and VLANs were not removed.
