23.1 Legacy Series / 23.1.7 - Aliases issue
« on: September 12, 2023, 03:29:16 pm »
Our firewall is on 23.1.7 version. Yesterday I created a Host(s) alias OriginalAlias with one IP for testing. I created then some rules to deny connections from this IP. Today I renamed OriginalAlias to RenamedAlias then I deleted the firewall rules.
Now in Firewall: Diagnostics: Aliases I can see listed both aliases OriginalAlias and RenamedAlias. I have to restart something?.
Listing the /var/db/aliastables folder I can see in it both alias *.txt files. In a config backup file there is only the RenamedAlias.
I read in the forum that I can use /usr/local/opnsense/scripts/filter/update_tables.py to renew the /var/db/aliastables folder content. It's safe to run this command?
I'm planning to upgrade the firewall Thursday to the latest version and I don't want to have problems with a configuration error during the update.
