      Hey,
      We are chaning out the old hardware to new stuff.
      the current firewalls has 6 interfaces.
      WAN
      LAN
      HA
      NAT Lan
      WAN2
      DTS

      I did export the config and edited the file for the new interfaces.

      I did make a mistake and not sure how to fix it.
      The issue is that
      The fw rules for WAN2 and NAT is switch.
      The interfaces are on the right hardware but the rules are attached to the wrong name. Im sure i switched them.

      How do I fix this?

        @heimire Move the rules? One option is to search and replace in the config file and restore again.

        You can also edit each rule, or copy selected rules to a different interface.

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.
