      Hi,

      I installed pfsense on a virtual machine, and activated SNMP on it. But now, my NMS is showing the interfaces as 10Mbps, instead of 1Gbps.

      How can I tell which media speed those interfaces are really working with?

      I'm using Hyper-V 2012, and the VM have 4 network adapters that seem to be working fine.

      @uname:

      FreeBSD pfSense.prrj.mpf.mp.br 10.1-RELEASE-p4 FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE-p4 #0 36d7dec(releng/10.1)-dirty: Thu Jan 22 15:12:35 CST 2015    root@pfsense-22-amd64-builder:/usr/obj.amd64/usr/pfSensesrc/src/sys/pfSense_SMP.10  amd64

      I tried using "ifconfig -m", but there was no result.

          There's no "media" information at all in this page:

          @Status:

            This probably has nothing to do with your hardware, as it's a VM. I would post in the Virtualization section.

              Thanks for the response. Really, it seems to be related to the VM adapter. I looked in another VM running Suse SLES 11 SP3, and ethtool gave me no media results.
