      initial configuration of sg-2100 22.05-RELEASE (arm64) .

      i'm setting up this 2100 and now at the stage to assign a few interfaces for VPNs. thing is, i don't see an <ADD> button on the Interface Assignments page to add additional interfaces.

      does the openvpn package need to be installed before the [optX | ovpncX] interfaces are available to add?

        Sure, no add button?

        Here is a screenshot from my SG-3100, no need to install any additional package.

          here is the new sg2100. shows only wan & lan, no add button

          i'm fairly certain the sg2100 has this capability. i'm scratching my head as to what to do to get that to display.

            Create a ticket at TAC support and request a link for an recovery image and re-install the SG-2100.
            Thats would be my choice.

                The 'Add' button only shows if there are available unassigned interfaces to add. So you won't see it until you have created for OpenVPN clients or servers that you can assign.
