23.7 Legacy Series / Solution for interfaces changing around
« on: November 11, 2023, 03:42:40 pm »
Hello everyone
I know for a fact that this very topic was being discussed in the past but, for the life of me, I wasn't able to find it again.
So, I'm using OPNsense under hypervisor (moving from vSphere to Proxmox right now) and the quirk that gives me headaches is the fact that when I add or remove virtual network interface(s) on hypervisor level, FreeBSD (and thus OPNsense's) IF names (like opt<number>) get reassigned and the whole configuration basically gets FUBAR'd until sorted out manually, while the GF screams "What's happened to the Internet?" from another room while doing so.
I seem to recall there was some optional tool that allowed one to bind IF name to its MAC address, solving this mess once and for all. Could anyone point me to this, pretty please?
Regards,
Zbig
