How to up Interface in Pfsense

ChapDuong

Hi guys,
now, i have a problem with interfaces in Pfsense 2.4.4 which i just have established.
It has 4 interfaces valid : igb0, igb1..
I setup igb0 for Wan, igb1 for lan. But Pfsense show me that only igb0 up, others down.
Can anyone help solve this problem?... Many thanks.!!

Hi,

What about hooking up a Ethernet cable to the real igb1 interface, this cable should be connected to a switch or another device that is "up" on the other side.
Try all the ports ...
And do use several cables - cables can go bad.

Yes, almost certainly what you think is igb1 is not actually that port.

Make sure it shows a link LED on the NIC.

Run at the console ifconfig to see which NICs actually show as active.

Even better : access the console !
If memory serves me well, a Link Up (and down) event is signaled as soon as you hook up a cable - and unhook.
It will mention which interface it is.
