      If the switch port is set to fixed speed/duplex then the pfSense end should also be.

      On some 10G/1G dual speed ports we do see it is sometimes necessary to set 1G fixed to get a link.

      None of that should fail after some time though, it would either link or not. Something like an mbuf exhaustion would usually prevent traffic on all interfaces.
      Checking the logs for clues would be my first step here.

          The main System log in pfSense. I'd also check the switch log for link failure on the port.

              told you ill get back to you

              after more than 2-3 month, no more crash

              i did change both transceiver and fiber!

              but i think the issue was witthing the switch

              i realise that does switch work in tandem port 49/50
              51/52

              i believe that the fact that a server was attach in port 49 the issue was cause by having the pfsense lan (dhcp/server) port plug into 50. so i put both server on 49/50 and add the lan fsense to 51.

              crash never occur since then!

                Huh? Switches don't care what ports you plug stuff into.. Sure you could have a bad port.. But sure doesn't care what you plug into ports that are next to each other ;)

                  your absolutelly right ! but !
                  SINCE TECHNOLOGY INS'T ALWAYS PERFECT ! THIS SCENARIO IS POSSIBLE !

                  maybe it's a bug inside the swith ! inside the software or firmware or whatever !

                  anyway my problem is fix since 2-3 month

                  manual link:
                  https://systemx.lenovofiles.com/help/topic/com.lenovo.rackswitch.ce0152pb.doc/CE0128XB_CE0152XB-WGR.pdf

                  The 10G ports may be configured as stacking or as Ethernet in pairs. Configuring a
                  10G Ethernet port as stacking will also configure the paired link as stacking.
                  Likewise, configuring a 10G stack port as Ethernet will configure the paired link as
                  Ethernet. On the CE0152XB, ports 49/50 and 51/52 are paired. On the CE0128XB,
                  ports 25/26 and 27/28 are paired.

                  HAVE A NICE DAYS

                      So combo ports? Yeah you might wanted to mention such details off the top..

                      Guess should of assumed they were combo from the numbers.. But without details of the special ports your dealing with. They are not your typical common ports on a switch, which don't give 2 shits if server or whatever is next to each other.

                          Tandem is not the term have ever heard used.. Been in the business 30 some years, before there there were even switches. Never heard the term used to describe a combo port sorry..

                          Do a google for tandem port switch, nothing.. do a google for combo port switch.. Gazillion hits..

                          Tandem how would define it just means next to each other, one behind the other, etc.
