      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.

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??

          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.
