I can confirm this also works.
Thanks for the suggestion!

I was using the X550-t2 last year but have since changed hardware.  Wasnt this issue resolved with this sysctl added to Tunables?

sysctl dev.ix.0.advertise_speed=55

sysctl dev.ix.X.advertise_speed=N

Where X is the interface number (e.g. for ix0, X=0 in the command above) and N is the sum of the advertised speeds, works.

In hex and decimal:

Control advertised link speed using these flags:
    0x1 - 1 - advertise 100M
    0x2 - 2 - advertise 1G
    0x4 - 4 - advertise 10G
    0x8 - 8 - advertise 10M

    0x10 - 16 - advertise 2.5G
    0x20 - 32 - advertise 5G

    100M and 10M are only supported on certain adapters.

To add advertisement of 2.5G and 5G on ix0:

sysctl dev.ix.0.advertise_speed=55

Since 7 + 16 + 32 = 55.

Or has the driver been updated since?

Hi let me try this. The driver hasn't been updated as far as I know.

Ok thanks.  Seems counterintuitive to me as I'm not fully understanding why its necessary to create an interface from this device to support this and any security implications but will give it a try.

thank you sir.

Hi, please see screenshot of my existing interface setup.  As you can see, my WAN is configured to use PPOE which itself is bound to ixo.

So what you are saying it, I should create another interface, for ix0 and set the speed and duplex there?
Then I should assign this new interface as the interface for the ppoe device configuration?

If so, should the new IX0 interface be set with none for the IPV4/6 config.

Many thanks

Ah ok, I can see ix0 still available in the drop-down. 
What's the impact of assigning ix0 as an interface, whilst also having wan interface with ppoe

Hey thanks for the response. So I have the PPOE interface assigned to the wan which doesn't have Speed or Duplex either. What do you mean assign the physical interface? Isn't the ix0 assigned to PPOE?

Hi, thanks for responding.  The underlying is a PPOE, however the PPOE definition doesn't have these settings either.

Need to configure the Speed and Duplex settings for existing LAN and WAN interfaces, however the do not display on the Interface Settings page for each.

If I create a new interface, these settings are available.  Seems to be a bug?

My only option is to delete the existing interfaces and create new, however I lose all previous firewall rules and other settings.

Any advice please?

Note, I'm doing this as my X550-T2 card doesnt advertise/negotiation 2.5G with my Openreach 2.5G PON.

Hi there, I'm having the same issue.  My OpenReach ONT has a 2.5G port, as my WAN speed in 1.6gbps, but the X550-T2 is negotatiating on 1000base-T like you mentioned.  However I don't have the speed and duplex options in my WAN configuration page.  It's a PPOE type so not sure that majes a difference.  In fact, none of the VLAN, LAN etc have these options.

Running Opnsense 24.7.10_2

Any help appreciated so I can get the full speed on this line.

I beleive the issue is related to missing dns server under Settings --> General Settings and setion DNS Servers.
I had the same issue, and after adding a DNS server here, issue was solved.
I did monitor the DNS traffic after making this change and can see this setting does not affect the DNS queries emitted by the firewall and can see this DNS setting does not affect the unbound DNS server for clients, I still see all my traffic going to the DNS-Over-TLS servers configured under Unbound.
