Hi, I just got a quick, and probably stupid, question. :)
I'm currently upgrading all our firewall to R65 and I noticed that in WebUI > Network > Connections interfaces that are not configured has status down. In R61/R62, which we use now, I see that all interfaces got status up regardless of configuration or even if they are connected. Is this something new in R65? Reason for my asking is that I configured a vlan interface on eth2.100 and it wouldn't come up. Status was still down even though I know for a fact that its connected. So what I had to do was to configure a "dummy" ip-address on eth2 directly and then it came up. Then later I deleted that ip-address again on eth2 and it still works with only ip on eth2.100. So it seems to me that you need to configure an ip-address on the physical interface before it gets enabled. So is this correct? It's not like that on R61/R62. I have not tried rebooting this firewall after I deleted the ip again on eth2 so I don't know if the interface will be down again then. I'll try that tomorrow.
