interface number mismatch

beloc

Hello.

Somehow, in a small two-node cluster I have, the underlying interface numbers have gotten out of sync. I think I know where this came from but its something that is not easily changed. On node 1 (master) when I create an interface, it says OPT 12 and then on the secondary pfsense, it says OPT 15, for example.

Can this be edited in the config? Can I change the config on the secondary to match the primary?

@beloc The short answer is yes you can edit the config file and upload.

This can happen if interfaces are added out of order or inconsistently. Note the visible name label (MGMT below) is not necessarily the same as the internal name in the config file (opt4 below).

<opt4>
<descr>MGMT</descr>
<if>igc3</if>
<enable/>
<spoofmac/>
<ipaddr>x.x.x.x</ipaddr>
<subnet>24</subnet>
</opt4>

Rules use the "opt4" name. States use the "igc3" name if "Interface Bound States" are used.

If you find & replace just be careful to not replace strings in other places such as certificates.
