1.1 Ethernet Ports
Interface Name
Port Name
Port Type
Port Speed
WAN
ETH1
RJ-45
1 Gbps
LAN
ETH2-ETH8
RJ-45
1 Gbps
OPT1
IX0
SFP+
10 Gbps
OPT2
IX1
SFP+
10 Gbps
Note:
ETH1-8 are
switched ports
sharing 5 Gbps (2x 2.5 Gbps) to the Intel SoC. These ports can be isolated as an
independent interface with the configuration of VLAN tagging as shown in
Warning:
There is an Intel-supplied driver issue, which is noted in the
for the C3000,
preventing 1Gbps and 10Gbps copper modules from being recognized on the SFP+ ports. Copper modules are not
supported.
LAGG is not currently supported on the ethernet switchports.
This will be addressed in a future pfSense release.
1.2 Other Ports, Buttons, and Indicators
• Semi-recessed Power (PWR) (performs a graceful shutdown of pfSense software)
• Recessed Reset Button (performs a hard reset, immediately turning the system off)
