hello

I have a Supermicro X10DRi-T with 2 onboard 10Gbe interfaces. Why i see 4 interfaces in network settings?

FreeNAS-9.2.1.9-RELEASE-x64 (2bbba09)

thank you!

That is very hard to read. Can you please edit your original post to put the outputs within code tags?

Also, add the build version (from System -> Information).

Thanks!

Wow, that is an old version (over 2 years). It is quite possible that that was a bug that has since been fixed.

I would recommend saving your config, installing the latest 9.10-STABLE to a different stick, restoring your config, and seeing how that worked. That way, if worse comes to worse, you can still remove the new stick and reboot using the old stick.

igb* are your 1 gigabit interfaces, ix* are the 10 gigabit ones.

Edit:
Never mind, it helps if I actually look things up first. You do have something interesting going on :)
