      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?

                  I have fiber sfp xgpon hooked to isp router/modem and from there hooked to netgate wan ixo and ix3 hooked sfp+ to external switch

                      Wan ix0
                      Lan ix3

                          @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.

                                @stephenw10 this new card is causing nothing but problems in the configs
                                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....

                                        Is there easier way of loading the config xml ? i read that using shell script can load from usb without restarting just to go to boot Is this correct ?I copied the xml you sent me into usb and plug the usb but it didn't load the config during reboot which should be automatically ? I copied the cml to usb but it wont detect it

                                            @stephenw10 so after renaming i insert usb and reboot and it should detect and install the config or i have to do anything else ?
