XG-7100 with 4-PORT 10 GBE SFP+ CARD
-
Hi!
I've got a xg-7100 with a 4-PORT 10 GBE SFP+ CARD. How do I include those 4 ports in the LAN (lagg0.4091) interface? I'd add it under "Interfaces/Switch/VLANs" but I'm not sure what to call it to add it to the vlan. I've tried 11 through 14 and ixl0 through ixl3 but it tells me "invalid port".
Preferred End Result: Have the 4 SFP+ ports act like a 10gbe switch that's connected to ethernet ports 2-8 (port 1 is WAN). -
@rcalhoun Sounds to me like you are trying to bridge those interfaces together. Here's how to do it:

But, it's NOT wise to do this, since your pfsense box now has to do all the work to run a "switch" in it's own software. It is highly recommended to have your switches do all the switching, and let your pfsense box do the firewalling and routing.
