      Hmm, what is it connected to? Does that show errors out?

      The other thing to check is the sysctl stats for the interface. The ix driver quite recently started reporting all error types in the netstat output there so some errors that were always present suddenly appeared to the user! There are a few places in the output of sysctl dev.ix.3
      For example:

      dev.ix.3.mac_stats.rx_missed_packets: 0
dev.ix.3.mac_stats.rec_len_errs: 0
dev.ix.3.mac_stats.remote_faults: 0
dev.ix.3.mac_stats.local_faults: 2
dev.ix.3.mac_stats.short_discards: 0
dev.ix.3.mac_stats.byte_errs: 0
dev.ix.3.mac_stats.ill_errs: 0
dev.ix.3.mac_stats.crc_errs: 0
dev.ix.3.mac_stats.rx_errs: 0

      Your NIC may not be ix3 obviously.

        Its connected to a Brocade ICX-7250 switch on port 48 at 1Gb. That port is only reporting 2 Errors since last reboot which was a long time ago.

        Also, I rebooted PF since last post, my error count in GUI looks tied to this number,

          Yes and they all seem to be Receive Length Errors. No Out errors shown in the switch either, which might be expected.

          I would at least try swapping and switch port if you haven't tried that yet.

          I would also try re-assigning that interface if you can. See if the errors follow it or stay on the NIC.

            To clarify, you mean move the PF LAN connection to a different port on my switch, see if I still get errors, easy enough ?

            Part 2, are you suggesting I swap my WAN connection from ix0 and move it to ix1 and vice versa, to see if I still get the same errors or if they follow, i.e perhaps just 1 of the 2 nics on the X550-T2 is bad / faulty ? Or even easier I guess I could re-enable the onboard nics and move the LAN connection over to one of them, granted my NDI does not freak out and pfsense+ goes down, not sure how that would behave.

              Yes and yes! Swapping the physical port in use at either end is a good test if only to confirm there isn't a fault present.

                So I moved the LAN connection to 3 different ports on the switch, no change, still getting the slowly incrementing "Errors In". I also tried 1Gb and 10Gb ports, no difference.

                I re-enabled the Onboard NIC in BIOS and oddly PFSense froze / halted on boot. Not sure what the deal is but seems like it does not like when i have both the onboard X540 and PCIe X550 enabled at the same time. I dont really want to unrack and rip out my X550 for this test, so not sure where else to go from here.

                  Hmm, odd. Where does it appear to freeze?

                      FYI,

                      I've since swapped LAN NICS, got the onboard working again. I also swapped switches and swapped the patch cable. So everything is different, yet I still get a slow trickle of LAN Errors IN.

                      This count is after 6 Days of uptime.

                      Old setup was X550 with Cisco 3850
                      Current setup is X540 with Cisco 3650
                      Same issue observed with both nics and when the switch was a brocade ICX-7250
                      Same issue observed regardless of NIC speed and connection type, RJ45 vs SPF+

                      Should I be concerned ? I'd love to know why this is happening.

                        I wouldn't be too concerned if you're not seeing any other issues.

                        Still the same error type shown in the sysctls?

                          Correct same type, matches up.
