Configure config.xml with NEW MAC addresses from new server.
-
Hello,
I am new to PFSense, and FreeBSD, but have many years of Linux experience.
Currently I run a PF box from a USB stick (for testing) on an old Dell desktop. It has worked very well. Now, I wish to migrate the settings (export .xml) to a new Supermicro server.
However, when installing the config.xml to the NEW server, I must again go through the interface setup. This is (surely) due the the interface differences from one machine to the next.
Is there any way to pre-emptively configure the .xml file for the NEW machine…to eliminate this console interaction?
Thank You.

If you know the old & the new interface names like em1 re1 igb1 then you can indeed manually rename them in the config file.

Thanks,
I figured this out last night. it's simply a matter of predictive device naming.
