      Hello; I recently added a couple new interfaces on my master pfsense (that is just was on my master alone) and now the newly created interface on master shows as OPT8 but on the failover pfsense it shows as OPT6 (last one in the list)

      Is there a way i can get these both in sync so that the interface on my failover also shows as OPT8 to match the master?

      Thank you!

        @CloudNode One way might be to assign more interfaces to the secondary pfsense and disable the unused ones. That would increment the numbering. Another way might be to edit the config files directly.

          @mikethiessen Thank you, I ended up doing just that and once the 8th spot was made, I deleted the other 2.
