24.1 Production Series / Help Me Understand What's Going On With This Interface
« on: February 25, 2024, 12:13:20 am »
I've been using OpnSense for as long as I can remember. I have switched hardware a number of times. Today, I ran into something I've never seen and just can't figure out.
My current hardware has 3 interfaces: em0, em1, and em2. Only em0 (LAN) and em1 (WAN) are used.
My drive has been having some issues reported by SMART, but otherwise everything has been working. Today I decided to backup my configuration, put a new drive in and restore from backup. Nothing I have not done before.
No WAN internet. After 2 hours combing over my config, on a lark I decided to reassign em2 as WAN and unassign em1.
Everything works perfectly with that change. I did nothing else. I have not tried swapping them back yet.
