Problem with interface configuration (Default interface not found)

[Seaside]

Hi!

I'm trying to migrate from Pfsense to Opnsense. My current problem is that I can't add my VLAN interfaces.
I have added the VLANs, but when I assign it to a new interface and reboot, I get the message:

"Default interface not found -- Running interface assignment option"
When that is done my WAN and LAN are swapped and I have to do manual assignment.

The hardware I'm using is a Qotom with 4xIntel nics, I can assign all NICS and boot without problem, but as soon as I add a VLAN via LAN this happens. This setup works fine in pfsense.

I've tried adding delay in /boot/loader.conf.local where I have added the entry:
kern.cam.boot_delay="10000"

But that does not help.

Would be really grateful for any pointers, since I'm really looking forward to start using opnsense!
It's a bit of mess to migrate since I don't want to cut off internet here at home for too long, so
doing dual boot pfsense / opnsense with two different ssd:s.

Hi S,

You can set "Prevent interface removal" for your VLANs although it is strange that they would disappear on boot (it suggest there is either a stale entry in config.xml with an unknown interface or that the NICs are detached for some reason, maybe lazy load of drivers?

Thanks for the reply!

That helped!

I suspect I have a somewhat strange config after some imports of pfsense config.
I had also the wrong static ipv4 config for the interface.

Change from 10.0.30.1/32 to 10.0.30.1/24

(for Vlan 30).

Regards S.

Could be, wouldn't hurt to revisit your config.xml <interfaces/> section for stale entries just to be sure.
