      @Sammy2Netgo said in Netgate 7100-1U New NIC setup issues:

      so whats the difference from console factory reset to the gui restore ?wouldn't that be same ?

      Console (or gui) factory reset replaces the config with the default config which doesn't take into account the NIC you added.

      Restoring a config can be any config. So if you restore the config I sent you that should boot back up with access because I added in the NIC assignments allowing for the extra card.

      The problem you are seeing is almost certainly outside pfSense. Simply assigning WAN as ix1 and LAN as ix3 should be sufficient.
      So either the switch is doing something unexpected or the client isn't using it. The fact it pulled a lease from the ISP router suggests it's somehow connected to it directly. So either through the switch somehow or possibly wifi.

        For reference this is how the USB drive appears for me:

        [24.03-RELEASE][root@7100.stevew.lan]/root: ls -ls /dev/da*
        0 crw-r-----  1 root operator 0x89 Sep 29 22:59 /dev/da0
        0 crw-r-----  1 root operator 0x8a Sep 29 22:59 /dev/da0s1
        [24.03-RELEASE][root@7100.stevew.lan]/root: mount_msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt
        [24.03-RELEASE][root@7100.stevew.lan]/root: ls -ls /mnt
        total 72
        72 -rwxr-xr-x  1 root wheel 70394 Sep 29 23:01 config.xml

                        Sorry I typo'd one of the tags. I sent you a new config. I tested it here on a 7100 and it boots as expected.
