IPFW not listed in service

[SkeelKat]

I recently installed a new firewall V22.7 and I manipulated the backup files from my old firewall on the new firewall (completely different interfaces, lagg setup etc.)

Everything is working, but I cannot get the ipfw Shaper service to list in the services.
on the console when running service ipfw status I get "Cannot 'status' ipfw. Set firewall_enable to YES in /etc/rc.conf or use 'onestatus' instead of 'status'."

I have complete removed the shaper and set it back up from scratch but the service does not enable, list or start.

Any ideas where I can check now?

I think ipfw is a Kernel module in FreeBSD.  Might want to confirm that it is loaded there with kldstat.  Also may want to double check everything described at this link is in place: https://docs.freebsd.org/doc/6.1-RELEASE/usr/share/doc/handbook/firewalls-ipfw.html

That's an old link. The 22.7 is running the latest FreeBSD 13.1 and the hand book link is: https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/firewalls/
