      pretty much yes, cpu and memory and nvme size differs, thats all.

        Link flapping every few seconds like that sure looks like a low level link negotiation issue.

            I would try setting both ends to 10G FDX fixed since it seems to be struggling to negotiate.

              well first noticed is the native VLAN was wrong... fixed that bit did not change anything. ok so setting to 10GbE FDX on switch is easy, how do I accomplish the same on proxmox ?

                @georgelza I thought it was set to manual already, otherwise something like

                ethtool -s enp4s0f0 speed 10000 duplex full autoneg off

                  Yup at least as test just set it manually at the CLI. That won't survive a reboot of course.

                    well it seems I can now ping 172.16.30.1, from both the pmox shell, I also created a ubuntu guest vm, i can from inside here ping the 30.1 also

                    so we def making progress.

                    i've down a ifconfig <interface> down and a back up, not picking up a ip yet.

                      It would be interesting to see what it sais before it start flapping like that... Of there is anything that could provide a clue whether there is some module inocmpatibility for example. Some cards check the module to see if it is in the list of "supported devices", which it will announce here if that is the case...

                      I wonder if you remove the module, issue dmesg | grep ixgbe again.
                      Then plug it in and immediately run dmesg | grep ixgbe

                        Proxmox should be able to ping 172.16.30.1, since that is allowed according to your rules, and it is pfsense responding on that IP. You are likely pinging from 172.16.10 which is the Proxmox host, and not the ix0 interface you are trying to fix.
                        From the VM however, if you are able to ping, you should be good to go.

                        What does dmesg | grep ixgbe on Proxmox host show you now?

                                @georgelza BTW, you'r VM is showing two interfaces... did you assign more than one?
                                The one with an IP is on the 10.1 network, so perhaps it's the 2.5G bridge that is working.

                                No IP on the other one though...

                                  correct.
                                  172.16.10.51 is the pmox1 address,
                                  172.16.10.201 is the guest vm, ubuntu1 dynamic assigned ip.
                                  these live/transverse the 2.5GbE links.

                                  we're trying to get the fiber working which would sit on
                                  172.16.30.0 network. as you noticed, we can ping the 172.6.30.1 gw now, but not getting a ip assigned as expected.

                                  let me check pfSense settings for this vlan quickly.

                                      pfSense is def enabled to run dhcp server on the vlan and got a ranged assigned.

                                      once it picks up a ip then i can, reassign/static reserve a ip.

                                        lets park this for the evening, think we've made awesome progress.

                                        got the link activated. :) :)

                                        now to get the ip assignment working, which sits with pfSense.

                                          morning all...

                                          ok... as we made some progress and learned some things along the way, or make that me learn... did do some changes.

                                          port0 / en2ps0 on topton is now 172.16.10.50, configured into vmbr0
                                          created a vlan30 which is configured to run on vmbr0, with a 172.16.30.0/24 range. this will be the cluster backplane, and vmotion network.
                                          The above is on the 2.5GbE Cat5

                                          then enp4s0f0 is port0 on the 10GbE, configured not vmbr40 to host 172.16.40.0/24

                                          I can ping out from the guest vm ubuntu01, configured with ip 172.16.10.51
                                          default gw îs 172.16.10.1

                                          issue... neither the vlan30 nor vlan40, the fiber is getting a ip from dhcp from the pfsense, and yes dhcp is enabled and a range is assigned ;)

                                            @georgelza Yes it seems like the problem exists also in Proxmox. Where I was going with the dmesg command was to figure out if there was any additional information about e.g. incompatible module. Do you know what chipset Topton is using for the NIC's?
                                            There is a (small) chance that the nw-card will not accept an "unsupported" module. This can be solved as per the first post in this thread: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/unsupported-sfp-module.84555/

                                            Basically it's an override that tells the card not to check the module...

                                            Simply add the file /etc/modprobe.d/ixgbe.conf if it doesn't exist. And add the one row
                                            options ixgbe allow_unsupported_sfp=1
                                            Not sure if it should be =1 or =1,1 (since it's a dual port card).
