Please help me, what I am missing here.

Thank you.
 
Hello,
Issue Resolved.
After giving all this data to Google Gemini, it suggested me installing the missing driver package, and issue got solved. Here is what I have done

Code: 
# installing pkg realtek-re-kmod
pkg install realtek-re-kmod
# update bootloader.conf with

 if_re_load= "YES"
 if_re_name="/boot/modules/if_re.ko"


post restart I found that `defaultrouter` missing, so I added that to sysctl.conf and now I am able to access the internet via Ethernet.

During installation BSD automatically took care of everything, but post install I had to struggle to get this far, any reason why here its acting differently ?

Thank you.

You have two Realtek ethernet interfaces, one gigabit and one 2.5Gbit. The 2.5Gbit isn't supported, the gigabit is. So I'm thinking you plugged it in on the gigabit interface during the installation (that driver works) but later on you plugged it in on the 2.5Gbit interface, which isn't supported.

By installing the net/realtek-re-kmod the 2.5Gbit interface works.
