Edit Wan IP on console

cattox

Hi all,

I'm trying to find a way to change the Wan IP on console (I need it to be static). I have pfsense running on a virtual machine and I cannot use a lan machine to access the web interface (I can only access this machine from the wan interface or console).
I tryed to edit the config file directly (/cf/conf/config.xml) but after that I get the error:

"cannot create references to/from string offsets nor overloaded objects in /etc/inc/xmlparse."

can anyone give-me a hand? Is there a way to edit the wan IP from console?

thanks in advance

Solved.

just malformed xml in config.xml.

Sorry for the unnecessary post.

On 2.0 you can use the "Set interface(s) IP address" console option, and since you can't get on LAN, you might also find this useful:

Start a shell, and type in:

pfSsh.php playback enableallowallwan

Once you get in you can setup proper rules and lock it back down.
