With the switch set to 10 Gbps FDX, this command on the server gives an error:

# ifconfig ix0 media 10Gbase-SR
ix0: Invalid media type!

Then I tried:

# ifconfig ix0 down
# ifconfig ix0 up

Then it worked. 10G.

I moved the cable back to the original 10G transceiver where it was doing 1G.  
That went to 10G.

Auto-negotiate is not needed.  Just the up/down to reset the NIC.

All good now. :)

Thank you.
