      Hi,

      I am trying to reassign interfaces through the PHP shell and to created VLANs instead of the underlying NICs.

      Version: 2.7.0

      It is a new installation with the default settings.
      Running the php shell from the console I execute the following instructions:
      $config['interfaces']['wan']['descr'] = "WAN";
      $config['interfaces']['wan']['enable'] = true;
      $config['interfaces']['wan']['if'] = "igb0.507";
      $config['interfaces']['wan']['ipaddr'] = "x.x.x.x";
      $config['interfaces']['wan']['subnet'] = "xx";
      $config['interfaces']['wan']['gateway'] = "WAN_GW01";
      $config['interfaces']['wan']['blockpriv'] = true;
      $config['interfaces']['wan']['blockbogons'] = true;
      $config['interfaces']['lan']['descr'] = "LAN";
      $config['interfaces']['lan']['enable'] = true;
      $config['interfaces']['lan']['if'] = "igb1.3004";
      $config['interfaces']['lan']['ipaddr'] = "192.168.1.1";
      $config['interfaces']['lan']['subnet'] = "24";
      $config['interfaces']['opt1']['descr'] = "LAN2";
      $config['interfaces']['opt1']['enable'] = true;
      $config['interfaces']['opt1']['if'] = "igb1.3006";
      $config['interfaces']['opt1']['ipaddr'] = "10.2.0.1";
      $config['interfaces']['opt1']['subnet'] = "16";
      $config['interfaces']['opt2']['descr'] = "LAN3";
      $config['interfaces']['opt2']['enable'] = true;
      $config['interfaces']['opt2']['if'] = "igb1.3007";
      $config['interfaces']['opt2']['ipaddr'] = "172.16.0.1";
      $config['interfaces']['opt2']['subnet'] = "16";
      write_config();
      exec;

      Findings:

      • If I query the interfaces in the shell immediately after running the above it shows as correctly assigned to the VLANs
      • I can ping and be pinged on the various networks
      • When I reboot everything comes back up as assigned except the wan and lan networks. They revert back to the original if assignments (igb0 and igb1 instead of igb0.507 and igb1.3004). Opt1 & 2 retain their settings.

      I then tried the same instructions but ended with:
      write_config();
      ! rm /tmp/config.cache
      exec;

      With the same end results.

      The last option I tried was:
      write_config();
      ! rm /tmp/config.cache
      system_reboot_sync();
      exec;

      Again with the same results.

      I was able to do this with 2.6.0 using version 1 of the script without a problem.
      Has something in 2.7.0 changed that must be included to force a permanent commit across all the interfaces?

      Thanks.

      Werner
