Help: what name to which network port?
-
@akuma1x. No help.
what are switch ports? do I have to use ix0 and ix1? -
The switch ports on the 7100 are ETH1 - ETH8, see the picture here:
https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/solutions/_images/xg-7100-1u-io-ports.png
You don't have to use IX0 or IX1, unless you've got other SFP connectors on some of your other switches or internet modems. You could technically set any of the ethernet ports (ETH1-ETH8) as your WAN or LAN ports and not use the IX SFP ports.
Here's all the I/O ports, with explanations, for the 7100:

@akuma1x Thank you very much. I'm reading these docs. It seems that Eth1 is wan, Eth2-Eth8 is Lan. We need set VLAN for making it work.

@caigeliu This would be a good page to read thru also:

Yes, you need to configure a new VLAN internally and set the switch to use it to separate out another port.
If this is a new install and you would rather just have all 8 ports separate you can use this default config file to do that before you start.
Restore it via Diag > Backup & Restore. It will reset any existing settings though.

Thank Steve.
Then How can I import configuration from my SG-6840 to this XG-7100. I have tried backup from SG-6840 then restore into XG-7100, It doesn't work.
What changes I have to make for configuration from 6840 to 7100 before restoration? -
I have tried to back up configuration from old machine then to restore them to this new XG-7100. I have done it service by service. The version in old machine is 2.4.4-RELEASE-p1, new machine is 2.4.4-RELEASE-p2.
All users/group data cannot be restored which is in "System" backup. OpenVPN may have problem.
Is there a way to migrate configuration from old machine to new machine? Please help.

Sorry. configuration migration seems work including user list. I'm checking to make sure it works.
