          @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
                Factory reset default assignments -
                Wan>lagg0.4090
                Lan>lagg0.4091
                Opt1>ix0
                Opt2>ix1

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

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

                        @stephenw10
                        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 ?

                                  Ah, yes in the default configuration ix2 and ix3 are part of the lagg so not available for assigning.

                                  You still have the additional NIC present?

                                  You can try restoring the config I sent you to use that.

                                    How do i restore the config.XML ? I tried but nothing uploaded -i read somewhere that if those assignments are missing pfsense has to be reinstalled ?How do i get this thing to recognize and upload the config ?

                                      @stephenw10 was wondering if i just said screw it and pull the new card out and do factory reset will those ports assign back to the way they were before ? Then set the assignments accordingly and then put the new card back in ? I dont understand but even if i got access through wan there is no point as ix2 and ix3 dont exist in web GUI or thats only cause i put
                                      Ix1 as lagg0.4091 which is the secondary port on the new card -I dont think it allows for wan/lan on same card both of the ports have to be of the same wan or lan not wan/lan ? Im looking the easiest and less time constraining option as this issue has wasted so many days of my time
                                      What is ix4 and ix5 in assignments isnt that part of lagg0 switch 2.5G do i need those ?

                                        @Sammy2Netgo so when i formatted fat 32 does it matter what i name the drive ? Currently its config ?then transfer the config.xml file into drive and it should work or am i doing it wrong ?
                                        You need to let me know step by step as it doesnt work for me

                                          No it doesn't matter what you name the USB drive. Let me get an example log.....

                                          I assume this is running 24.03?
