      Hello everybody.

      I have a simple question, need to know status(down, up, disable, etc) of all interfaces(LAN, WAN, OPT) of pfsense. In web UI In the interface status section not showed all interfaces, with terminal ( ifconfig or netstat commands) can't determinate status of some interfaces. How can I get statuses, like some switches "show interfaces status" command?

          The GUI only shows assigned interfaces there, either the widget or the status page.

          What interface can you not see the state of from ifconfig -a?

                Well like I said the gui will only show assigned interfaces but ifconfig should show all interfaces.

                What are you not seeing there?

                  @stephenw10 lookg in this img
                  pf_interfaces.JPG

                  igb5.230,igb.333, etc showing that currently UP and status is active, but pfsync0 only show UP, and pflog0 doesn't show anyting about state

                  look in next imgs

                      Those are virtual interfaces, they do not have a link status.
