      Ok I think I found the problem : it looks as a freebsd kernel bug with Intel x710 NIC.

      Here is the same problem in OPNsense : link

      Here is the Github OPNsense problem : link

      In OPNsense by reverting this freebsd commit it resolve the problem (see here)

      Can someone open an issue for next pfsense ?
      Does someone have skills to compile a pfsense kernel without the faulty commit ?

      Thanks ?

        Hmm, surprised you can't disable that kind of hardware offloading.🤔

        Since it can only handle 128 addresses and has a mode where it stops filtering in hardware when it goes above that anyway.....

          Seems to be setup with vlan hw filtering. Did you try disabling that?

          Like: ifconfig ixl0 -vlanhwfilter

            @stephenw10 It looks as if I cannot disable vlan hw filtering because if I run this command the interface doesn't go up anymore until I restart

                Hmm, that's odd. Are you using VLANs on that? Do they all fail if so?

                  I have a LAG with both ixl0 and ixl1.
                  And on top of this LAG if have multiple VLANs.
                  As far as I entered this command for ixl0, every VLANs was inaccessible. I had to restart pfSense.
                  Then for ixl0 in ifconfig I had "satus : no carrier".
                  I entered :

                  ifconfig ixl0 vlanhwfilter
                  

                  and everything came back normal

                    @maximushugus The very first step in testing / problem isolation should be removing the lag. Most especially when looking at hardware filtering.

                      Mmm, I had my device in a lagg when I tested it but I was accessing over it directly not using a VLAN

                        To update on this problem, it is solved with the CE 2.8 version
