Hi everyone,
I'm trying to restore the NAT and Firewall Rules from a config file, but
the changes simply don't appear, not even after a manual reboot.
Is this a known issue? If not, what further info is needed to debug it?
Situation:
pfSense box A - hardware malfunction, proper config, running pfSense
2.0.1-RELEASE
pfSense box B - different hardware, default config, running pfSense
2.0.1-RELEASE
I downloaded the config file from box A, and when box B was in place, I
accessed the web interface and selected "Diagnostics", "Backup/Restore".
After that, I picked the option "NAT" under "Restore Area", gave it the
path to my previously saved config file, and hit the "Restore
configuration" button.
After the upload was complete, I was presented with a message that the
firewall may need to reboot. It did not reboot automatically.
Figuring that having mismatching NAT and Firewall Rules might be bad, I
did not reboot manually at that point, either.
Rather, I repeated the procedure, selecting "Firewall Rules" instead of
"NAT". After that, I rebooted manually.
None of my changes show up after the reboot.
I tried to debug the issue by repeating the steps with manual reboots
after each upload, but that doesn't help either. My changes are simply
being ignored.
Manually splicing the changes into the XML file and uploading it
completely works, though, so I can rule out that there's something wrong
with the old configuration.
Kind Regards,
Stefan Baur
