      We currently have a Netgate SG-4860 model running at one of our remote sites. Running all sorts of role like pfblocker, OSPF, captive portal, DHCP, ipsec tunnel back to the main site etc. Configured 3 interface for WAN, LAN and Guest (OPT1)

      Got these new Netgate 2100 MAX models to rplace the SG-4860 and I did restore the backup configuration from the Netgate SG-4860 model, however I can't seem to see the interface configured for Guest when the configuration is loaded. I believe there I should assign the interface first however I see only the following:
      WAN (wan) -> mvneta0
      LAN (lan) -> mvneta1

      Any documentation on this model and how to get it working to accept the backup configuration.?

        @usaiat Short answer: Netgate TAC will convert the config file for you for free.

        Longer answer:
        The 2100 has two ports because the 4 LAN ports are a switch. You can isolate ports using a procedure but as mentioned Netgate will do it for you.

        mvneta1 is the LAN switch yes.

        Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to reboot, or more depending on packages, and device or disk speed.
