@stephenw10 said in XG-7100 LACP on SFP+ ports?:

ifconfig -vvm ix0

I get
media: Ethernet autoselect
status: no carrier
supported media:
media autoselect
media 10Gbase-SR
nd6 options=21<PERFORMNUD,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
plugged: SFP/SFP+/SFP28 10G Base-SR (LC)
vendor: Arista Networks PN: SFP10G-SR-AR SN: BOARB19E0199 DATE: 2022-06-18

Same as I could pick at the interface gui....
Strange is the 10G gbic in the unifi DOES work at 1G. These gbics are the same model, just the compatibility chip inside is different

If it can link using autoselect then it will but in many cases pfSense requires setting 1G and it appears that module doesn't allow that.
The only other thing you can do here is to try setting 1G as the only advertised link speed for auto-select:

[23.01-DEVELOPMENT][admin@6100.stevew.lan]/root: sysctl dev.ix.0.advertise_speed=2
dev.ix.1.advertise_speed: 0 -> 2

But that can only be set on 'multispeed fiber media types' which yours may not be seen as.

The value 2 there indicates 1G:

Control advertised link speed using these flags:
	0x1 - advertise 100M
	0x2 - advertise 1G
	0x4 - advertise 10G
	0x8 - advertise 10M

Ok, I got:

Mmm, unfortunately that's what I suspected since your module does not present a 1G link rate as available. I can only really suggest you try a different module. A 1G module should work fine there.
