Can you please provide more details on this.
If possible the config.xml file before and after the issues shows.
To be clear you have assigned a pppoe interface create on interface->assignment->ppp or you have just configured pppoe on the Interface->wan interface while the assignment is a normal interface?

PPPoE was configured on the Interface->wan page by selecting type = pppoe. I will try to reproduce it on a VM box and attach config files.

I just reproduced it on VM running 'Aug 18 21:58:53 EDT 2010 ' snappy.

I investigated this and for now i just put a warning message there to tell you that you have to reassign the interface.
For 2.1 this will need to be fix together with some other things which are not trivial at the moment.
Thank you for reporting this and for the feedback.

Hi Ermal, I tried testing it, but could not get it to work.
My WAN is configured as PPPoE to begin with:
- I go to Interfaces WAN and change type from PPPoE to Static, enter IP and click save -> error message shows up 'You have to reassign the interface to be able to configure as static.' I guess that's an expected behaviour.
- Now I go to Interfaces -> assign and change WAN from PPPoE(vr1) to vr1 and click save -> page just keeps loading (I waited 5 min and it was still loading); If I compare backup before this step and after I see that WAN was reassigned from pppoe0 to vr1
- I now go back to WAN page and see that all my PPPoE settings are blank (good sign I guess), change type to static, click save and I am presented with the error message again.
- go back to interfaces assign page and WAN is assigned vr1; so I am kind of stuck in a loop.

I have the same problem from pppoe to DHCP.

Right now it seems to work, but my pppoe was on a OPT1 interface, i will try again on another box with pppoe as primary wan interface.

It does not matter really if it was WAN/LAN/OPT# ... Just test if it works as you expect.

It seems a workaround is to set the interface to static, type an IP, then submit the changes. Once you do this, you can set it to DHCP.

Hello,
I just experienced this issue. My pfSense build is:
2.1-RELEASE (i386)
built on Wed Sep 11 18:16:50 EDT 2013
FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p11
I was able to work around this issue using the steps which Caesar Caesar mentioned in comment #19.

I cannot reproduce this.
And there is already code taking care of this since:
