Description

I find it easier on install to assign interfaces and vlans. So a option for lagg would also come in handy, especially if wan or lan will need lagg.

Workflow:
Do you want to set up LAGG now [y|n]?
Do you want to set up VLANs now [y|n]?

For clarification: the problem (for me, anyway) is that it's very difficult to create a LAG group spanning all physical ports in the system after the fact, because of the requirement that WAN must always exist.

+1 This is important to me. Although, right now I am about to try and figure out how to do it manually since I need it now, not years from now, and once its done hopefully will never need to do it again. But, it sure would be helpful for others that will come later.

This should also, ideally, be able to setup bridges.

Something such as:

  • Add new bridge
  • Tell it which interfaces should be added to the bridge

May rely on #2386

Really any of the virtual interface types (all of the Tab headings under Interfaces > (assign) would be good to have here, so they can be done via the console, but bridging is especially hard to do in the GUI if you are managing the firewall from an interface you want to be involved in the bridge, and you want to move the IP to the bridge interface.

If it would already be possible to assign a previously created lagg (via Web) on the console that would be helpful, right now it doesn accept lagg's as valid choice on the console.
