      Hi,

      I just added a 3rd interface and learned that there was a slightly easier way to add rules across all the interfaces.

      After making an interface group we'll call group1.  A new tab appeared.  "Floating" along with Group1 and the interfaces.

      So I have

      Floating,Group1 and all the other interfaces.

      So If i put rules in Group1.  I'm assuming they'll be processed first.  Then any other rules left in the individual interfaces?
      And Floating will apply to All interfaces if for some reason that is ever desired?

        As far as I know, rules are processed in the order that the tabs are displayed.  Names of interface groups may or may not affect the order, but I think they do.
