Can interface identifiers be reamapped

[Aeration1427]

Hey I'm trying to get HA running with a VM as a secondary for whenever the physical primary has to go down.
Issue I've noticed is the interface related configurations are synced based on the interface identifiers (optN).

Since these identifiers don't line up between the two hosts, all services that rely on these identifiers are applied to the incorrect interface.

Is there a way to manually map a specific interface on the secondary to a specific optN identifier?

Fastest way: download config backup, edit XML file, reimport config backup.

Will try that, thanks!

Is this still the only way in 26.1?  If the identifiers need to match between FWs in an HA pair then not having a simple way to sync the values in the GUI seems like a miss.

This recent topic discussed a new way to modify things : https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=51075.0

Maybe something like that would work for you too ?
