24.1 Legacy Series / Re: Swapping NIC types?

Apart from the NIC names, their MACa will also differ, which can be a factor when you use MAC-based rules or dynamic IPv6 aliases.

Thank you! Not running those.

You should be okay. Just make sure you have console access to re-assign the NICs on first bootup. Also you may need to redo vnstat or softflowd interface assignments if you're using those plugins.

Fortunately not using those either!

I will let you know how it goes

24.1 Legacy Series / Swapping NIC types?

« on: April 15, 2024, 04:22:34 am »

How should I approach a quad port nic replacement for a different chipset of card? Is it a matter of reassigning the interfaces? I can get back in using the onboard NIC for management, the quad card is used for production traffic.

24.1 Legacy Series / No default route on device restart unless interface manually reloaded?

« on: March 24, 2024, 05:24:17 am »

I have a PPPoE interface that runs on a VLAN, I find after a restart I do not have internet connectivity from the LAN network as the gateway is not selected as the default route.

Once I manually reload the PPPoE interface it then enters the route table internet reachability from the LAN is restored.

Is there some config change I can make to avoid this?
