Hi, Chris ! Somehow it does not seem that easy... But i believe i did not describe correctly what's the matter ;-)
I now have a WAN-Interface em1 (where the old provider was attached to) which is now orphaned. So i disabled it. The new provider is attached to em7. The interface is named opt7. On opt7 there are some VIPs configured. The dashboard now shows the LAN-graph as standard and i can not unassign em1 from WAN. So i thought it might be possible to save the XML-config and edit it this way: 1. Swap the <opt7></opt7> and <wan></ wan> tags 2. check for the correct tags (CARP, VIPs, VLANs) 3. restore the config Are there any caveats or any hints ?

Nothing but the wan/lan/optx references the physical interface (plus VLANs or lagg if you're using them). Move WAN from em1 to em7 and everything on WAN moves from em1 to em7. > So when i change WAN1 from em1 to em7 and WAN2 from em7 to em1, will > the rules "move with the interface" ? > > Regards, > > martin > > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: List [mailto:list-boun...@lists.pfsense.org] Im Auftrag von Chris > Buechler > Gesendet: Dienstag, 14.
