      Hello, I'm using a PCIe SFP+ card with a 10GB transceiver. All works well but Im hoping there is some type of CLI or GUI plugin to access the transceiver diag info such as the dbm. Another anomaly I noticed is the interface status displays 10Gbase-LR <full-duplex,rxpause,txpause>, not sure why the tx/tx pause is there as there are no errors or collisions. Thank You</full-duplex,rxpause,txpause>

        Hello, wanted to add more info

        Dell R710 with dual QC 2.4Ghz 16GB RAM, Pfsense 2.3.2-RELEASE-p1 , HotLava Tambora HL-40G2S.

        iperf3 test
        Laptop>pfsense 1Gbe>pfsense 10GB>UBNT 10GB switch>Desktop 1Gbe = 655 - 700Mbps
        In reverse I only get max 16Mbps I did all the system tunables recommended for ix0 driver.

        Any Thoughts?

          Hello,
          I figured out the speed issue. The tunable for flow control does not load when placed in /boot/loader.conf.local I used cli to do the following "sysctl dev.ix.0.fc=0" the command prompt in GUI works as well by entering the same string. Now if I could only get the DOM readout I will be a happy person.
