Pfsense 2.1 reporting vmxnet3 nic speed as 640kbps

miloman

i've just installed pfsense 2.1 on an esxi 5.1, installed vmware tools and added a vmxnet3 adapter.

pfsense itself sees the interfaces as 10gbps:

[2.1-RELEASE][admin@pfsense.localdomain]/root(2): ifconfig vmx3f0
vmx3f0: flags=8843 <up,broadcast,running,simplex,multicast>metric 0 mtu 1500

but when i poll pfsense with snmp, it reports the speed as 640kbps:

Found standard interfaces:
1:em0: (001) em0,Connected,1 GBit/s,Ethernet,em0, 64 Bit
2:em1: (002) em1,Connected,1 GBit/s,Ethernet,em1, 64 Bit
3:vmx3f0: (003) vmx3f0,Connected,640 KBit/s,Ethernet,vmx3f0

any advice?</performnud></rxcsum,txcsum,vlan_mtu,vlan_hwtagging,jumbo_mtu,vlan_hwcsum></up,broadcast,running,simplex,multicast>
