      @stephenw10 how would i start command line
      Is it selecting 8 shell ?
      Here is my new port settings in console :
      Wan >ix0
      Lan >ix3
      Opt1>lagg0.4090
      Opt2>ix1

      I finally see mac address of router showing in my switch but still no connection devices hooked to switch not connecting -Devices show dhcp lease ip
      But not connecting or saying cant get an ip address is it maybe some setting in switch i need to configure ?

        Yes use option 8 from the console menu to reach the command line.

        Then run: ifconfig -vm ix3

        Make sure it shows as up and linked.

        Unplug the SFP and run that again. Make sure it now shows as down to confirm that's actually the LAN NIC.

        Be sure the addresses shown above the menu for WAN and LAN do not conflict.

        For example:

        Netgate 7100 - Netgate Device ID: ba27a9eaeaeaea439bacb
        
        *** Welcome to Netgate pfSense Plus 24.08-DEVELOPMENT (amd64) on 7100 ***
        
          Current Boot Environment: default_20240624180133_20240903152424 
             Next Boot Environment: default_20240624180133_20240903152424 
        
         LAN (lan)   -> ix2   -> v4: 192.168.88.1/24
         OPT1 (opt1) -> ix0   -> 
         WAN (wan)   -> lagg0 -> v4/DHCP4: 172.21.16.30/24

          @stephenw10 how would i tell if wan lan has ip conflict ?
          I was wondering while setting this up is it safe to have netgate router wan hooked up directly to isp modem wan that obtains external ip or behind firewall as lan under private ipv4?(netgate router wan to isp modem router lan)
          Currently my wan and lan have private ip
          As i put netgate wan to isp modem lan behind firewall
          Wan -> 192.168.2.1
          Lan >192.168.1.200
          Is that ok or would it cause issues? Readon i did that is im not sure if firewall is setup properly and dont want to expose router to attacks

              As long as those subnets are both /24 (or smaller) that's fine.

                    Here is my current assignments setup:
                    Wan>ix0 ovtained ip ✅
                    Lan>ix3 dhcp Ip & gateway set ✅
                    Opt1>lagg0.4090
                    Opt2>lagg0.4091
                    Im so confused whats causing this issue i should be connecting through switch but am not is it something wrong with netgate dhcp server not working properly or blocking it ? Nit sure why netmask showing as 0xffffff00
                    How do i switch from root back to console or end root to go back ?

                        The LAN interface should not have a gateway configured on it directly.

                        The only reason you would ever have a gateway on LAN would be if you had a downstream router connected to it. That could be a layer3 switch but you would then need to have static routes setup to other downstream subnets. You are not using anything like that as I understand it so you should remove the gateway.

                        The NIC results are as expected so you have the correct NIC configured.

                        Physically how are these things connected?

                        There must be some layer 2 connection to the ISP router if clients are pulling a lease from there. So a misconfigured vlan on the switch perhaps?

                              Wan ix0

                                  @stephenw10 but my dhcp on lan will need to have gateway set on dhcp lan to be able to connect to router gui from switch ??
                                  This is how i set lan ix3 settings :
                                  Enter lan ipv4 -192.168.xxx.xxx
                                  Subnet mask -24
                                  For wan enter lan ipv4 upstream gateway adress :
                                  Enter for none
                                  Enable dchp server on lan -yes
                                  Start ip range -192.168.1.0
                                  End ip range -192.168.1.255

                                    No you shouldn't need to setup any VLANs to get initial connectivity. You are not using the on-board switch. JUst WAN and LAN configured like that should be fine.

                                      Yes, but that's not what a gateway on the interface itself is for. That defines what pfSense itself uses as a gateway. The DHCP server will pass the interface address to clients to use as a gateway.

                                        So what do i need to do to get connectivity ? When i factory reset even the port 1 which should be wan lagg0.4090 wont work to obtain ip
                                        Can you let me know setup procedure from beginning factory reset and console port assignments or anything that needs to be done to regain connectivity/Thanx
                                        Factory resetting the netgate with new card how would i gain access to web gui ?Which port as wan and lan by default with new card installed

                                          OK so you need this extra NIC to get 10Gbase-T connections? Some Nbase rate?

                                          Let me create a default config you can use....
