Bug #11712
closed
Interface can't be switched to an available network port igb3
0%
Description
I have a generic (QOTOM-Q355G4) pfSense box with 4 NICs and network assignment as the following:
WAN - igb0
LAN - igb1
WIFI - igb2
Unused igb3 is listed in the drop down as available network port.
I needed to switch interface assignment of LAN to igb3.
Surprisingly it was not possible. After switch the new assignment wouldn't stick and always was back as igb1.
However I was able to add a new interface as LAN - igb3.
I suspect that pfSense could not complete previous switch as igb3 was seeing by pfSense disabled (??)
But if that is the case then the pfSense UI should not have shown igb3 as available network port in the drop down.

Can't reproduce as stated, swapping assignments works as expected for enabled or disabled interfaces.

This is not a support issue and I suspect is a generic case.
That's unfortunate you can't reproduce it.
