We have some new dell appliances with 2 SFP cards, 4 SFP+ ports total (2 per card). 10 interfaces total, with the other 6 being 1Gig RJ45.
All the RJ45 interfaces are being detected by OPNsense, but the SFP ports are not. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this would be? I confirmed the hardware shows in the IDRAC on the appliance.
I did read something about having to add sfxge_load="YES" to the /boot/loader.conf file, but that was for pfsense and I'm not sure if that applies here.
All the interfaces are broadcom. The SFP's specifically are: Broadcom 57412 Dual Port 10GbE SFP+ Adapter, PCIe Low Profile [540-BBVI] / 5100635
Thanks in advance.
What SFP's are you inserting into that card? I had a similar issue with Intel X520's and Cisco 10G-SR's recently. The Intel X520 seems to ONLY take Intel branded SFP's as the Cisco's were not detected at all.
See if the bxnt driver is being loaded? I'll check now if it's built as an available module. There doesn't seem to be a variable to set to allow unknown SFP+ modules, like some Intel drivers allow. Are the modules themselves Broadcom as well?
