Connect to the firewall console, log in and set the interfaces correctly using option 1
Are you still booting from the installer ISO? How else could you fall back to what seem to be the default settings?

How else could you fall back to what seem to be the default settings?Well i had somewhat the same experience here https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=36683.msg179463#msg179463I had the console active, and discovered that OPNsense was somehow thinking it had to run the "interface importer" on rebot. And then you'll end up with Lan on first phys , and Wan on 2'nd.My solution was to tick "Prevent Interface removal" , on every interface.So it is possible to get your interfaces reassigned, if/when some "Boot time algo" decides "No default interfaces found - Running interface assignments".That said I was importing lot's of interfaces from a pfS config ... But they all looked valid before the reboot. And was left "untouched" on boot , if i ticked "Prevent Interface removal" ...I'll be ticking that on all my IF's .. Don't want any surprises.
I'm as green a June grass here - - - where do I find this 'Prevent Interface removal' tick box - - please?
GreetingsTotally new to opnsense - - still running system without it being 'the system' (opnsense is running but another router is doing my work at present). Had a power outage - - that means a forced reboot (power goes down and I have a short time using a ups to shut down all systems active). Power was just terminated (not a clean shutdown - - - using a system shutdown). When power was reapplied the system came back up but some things that had been set were incorrect. System had been set with igc0 and igc1 activated. igc0 was WAN and set to IPV4/DHCPigc1 was LAN and set to IPV4/192.168.1.1/24 After reboot igc0 was listed as LAN and 192.168.1.1igc1 was listed but had no ip address So I used 1) Assign interfaces to change igc0 to WAN and igc1 to LAN then I used 2) Set interface ip address to set igc0 to IPV4/DHCPpresently see LAN (igc1) blank and WAN (igc0) as v4/DHCP4: xx.xx.xx.xx (ip address from my isp) (system setup) optical converter ---- 5 port unmanaged switch ---- router (192.168.50.1) ------ 24 port unmanaged switch ---- wired and wireless clients (various 192.168.50.xx) ------ opnsense box ( ) ------ no load at present Questions: Did I set up something wrong initially so that igc0 and 1 were changed upon reboot?If so - - - what do I change?Ports igc2 through 4 are available - - - I want to use say igc2 for a wireless AP when opnsense goes live - - - - is that a good idea? TIA
