Thanks. Is this behaviour essential to pfSense? It doesn't seem like it would be a FreeBSD requirement. Maybe a future enhancement to pfSense may make multiple interfaces more "interchangeable" or "clone-like". What if my sis0 interface on my 4801 died (unlikely, to be sure). I would want to move to use a different (sis1 or sis2) interface. It seems to me all the (like, ethernet) interfaces should have identical configuration choices. I say this as a newbie if only to avoid confusion with the "AccessPoint2" URL tutorial which made no mention of this feature/fact IIRC. I will try your WAN suggestion above. If this works, so be it. I think this would mean that WAN (sis1) would become active (since it is disabled at present). That is the only unusual side-effect, but not a serious show stopper. Thanks again for your help.
