The four LAN Ethernet ports are switched ports. By default all of these ports as a single switch uplinked to the LAN
interface on the firewall.
Note:
For more details on how the switch operates, see
For instructions on how to configure the switch see

Note:
Prior to pfSense® software version 2.4.3, the switched Ethernet ports on the SG-3100 did not support auto
MDI-X and required crossover cable unless the client-side connection supported auto MDI-X. This was resolved with
2.4.3 and later versions and a crossover cable is no longer required.
Warning:
The LAN ports do not support the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). Two or more ports connected to
another Layer 2 switch, or connected to 2 or more different interconnected switches, could create a flooding loop
between the switches. This can cause the router to stop functioning until the loop is resolved.

Warning:
A hard reset of the system

cause data corruption and should be avoided. Halt or reboot the
system through the console menu or the GUI to avoid data corruption.
