"igb1: link state changed to UP/DOWN" is it benign ?
-
Just reassign LAN as igb3 and all your existing rules etc will follow it.
-
What can I tell?!
What was going to be a simple step, turned out to be not so easy :(Changed LAN -> igb3, system after save does not show igb3, still shows igb1. No usual apply setting banner/button or Interface has been changed etc. Everything seems broken. I maybe pushing too hard enough, but was not able to make a new assignment to work.
Restored back to the previous configuration via Auto Config Setup.
I guess "link state changed to UP/DOWN" does not sound too bad after whole system is down :) that's a good output.
But still scratching my head WTH ? ...

Mmm, hard to say. I wouldn't expect an issue as long as the LAN was reconnected to the new NIC correctly.
-
I think I could not change LAN -> igb3 because it was seeing by pfSense as "disabled".
Not sure why pfSense did show it in the drop down as available network port. Maybe there is some point, but actually feels like a bug to me.
Anyway, meanwhile added new LAN2 -> igb3 and setup with DHCP and one open to all FW rule. Will watch this for awhile and then will switch:
LAN2 -> igb1
LAN -> igb3 -
Update:
Assigned a new interface LAN2 -> igb3 (Logged a bug )
Connected only one laptop to it
Every time when laptop tuns on I see:
ligb3: ink state changed to UP
and when powered off -
igb3: link state changed to DOWN
This laptop connected by a long 20-30 cable, so it's possible some issues and it's not easy to replace. But overall troubleshooting was helpful.
It's still possible that my router box is faulty (which is unlikely) or pfSense throws false errors sometimes. Hard to say.
Thx for your help @stephenw10

Looks like igb3 works exactly as expect there then.
