Title: Chaning existing NIC 1 and 2 to accomidate imported backup
Post by: fbeye on November 01, 2023, 05:30:49 PM
So, currently this new PC I am trying to convert to Opnsense Firewall has re0 and re1 as NIC's... All is good. I go into GUI and I load my existing backup from a different system and the NIC's have changed to nothing that is even on this new system... Can I simply change the NIC's names on new system from its vnet1 to re0 and so on or does it not work that way, cause it is a new system new hardware.

Manually edit the backup xml before importing it (rename the interfaces to re0 / re1).

Cheers

Amazing! I did not know I could do this! Now that you mention it, I recall doing such thing/s on my Ciscp ASA and FirePower Firewalls. Thank you. I will let ya know.

You can edit the subject of the original post and add a [SOLVED] prefix. This forum software is kind of vintage. ;)
