New NIC card on existing setup ?
-
Hello,
Hoping everyone is safe and healthy.
Can I change NIC cards on an existing working system without having to totally reload ?
I know I would have to configure the new adapter.
Has anyone successfully performed this?
I am successfully running:
2.4.5-RELEASE-p1 (amd64)
built on Tue Jun 02 17:51:17 EDT 2020
FreeBSD 11.3-STABLEThank you for your time.

Oh, I would be removing the LAN interface card (re0) for a NEW Intel I350-T4 card .

Yes, you can remap the ports via local console.
But as always, take a backup first.-Rico
