        Ok this is new and positive...

        10: vmbr30: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
        link/ether a8:b8:e0:05:f0:91 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

        However it is strange the network device still sais NO-CARRIER...

        6: enp4s0f0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq master vmbr30 state DOWN group default qlen 1000
        link/ether a8:b8:e0:05:f0:91 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

            @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...

            ip a

              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).

                          @Gblenn said in pfSense not enabling port:

                          ou know what chipset Topton is using for the NIC's?

                          trying hard to find out, but talking to AliExpress chinese not easy. all i got was a install the following driver, and a rar file, which then extracts to a exe... slight problem i'm on a mac, and there is no windows machines in the house, and i'm not sure building a windows vm would work.

                            after the above.

                            what i have noticed though, my port on the switch has gone red, complaining of packet loss etc.
                            wonder if we need to go back to auto negotiate.
                            ip a
                            i did have to bring the interfaces up, both the vlan30 that sits on vmbr0 and vmbr40 was down.

                              on my switch side i run

                              172.16.10.0/24 as my primary on the physical port
                              then have the following vlans defined atm
                              (running on the same above physical port)
                              vlan20 - 172.16.20.0/24 -> all wifi devices
                              vlan30 - 172.16.30.0/24 -> will be "vmotion/k8s cluster interconnect"

                              vlan40 - 172.16.40.0/24 -> will be storage/io to be used by all to access the TrueNAS. 10GbE based on dedicated port.

                              i've configured vmbr0 and vmbr40.
                              i ended configuring vlan30 as a vlan on vmbr0.

                                @georgelza Did you unplug the module from the SPF+ port on the Proxmox machine? What happens if you plug it in again, only the Proxmox side and leave the switch side hanging. Anything new that shows up from dmesg?

                                  did not touch the physical side.

                                  i've since rechecked the switch and reset to manual and redefined it as 10GbE DFX

                                  re-issued the ethtool command on the pmox level.

                                    ok, got it back active on the switch.

                                    noticed that in pmox under network it was active=no, switched it to autostart and it seemed to have figured out to start itself.

                                      thinking need to figure out how to address the port...

                                      tried

                                      options ixgbe allow_unsupported_sfp=1
                                      and
                                      options ixgbe allow_unsupported_sfp=1.1
                                      and
                                      options ixgbe allow_unsupported_sfp=0.1
                                      and
                                      options ixgbe allow_unsupported_sfp=0.0

                                        i'm starting to question if the 10GbE is actually up...
                                        i'm thinking when i ping the gw from pmox or the ubuntu-01 image it actually goes out the default gw over the vmbr0 bridge. and not out via the SFP+

                                        for some reason i'm also not getting a ip on vlan30 on the guest vm, vlan30 runs over vmbr0

                                        well let me add... if i make some changes on the pmox side it does break the switch side so the physical link is there, and there is some level of comm, or is that disagreement.

                                        G

                                          note to self, when de-configuring something to check something... dont reconfigure your main/only interface... especially if machines are 10foot of the ground on a shelve with no Kvm in place. ;)

                                          can confirm that the green and orange light on the SFP+ port is having a party, matching on switch is just flickering red.

                                            @Gblenn said in pfSense not enabling port:

                                            ixgbe allow_unsupported_sfp=1

                                            The allow_unsupported option can only be 1 or 0, it's on or off. It applies to all ixgbe attached devices applied there.

                                            Nothing posted here so far looks like it's linking correctly to me.

                                            Did you ever try just linking the two SFP+ ports directly to see if it would link up and be stable?
