Description
With interface-bound states being the default and more secure option in new pfSense versions, it would be nice if one could rename network interfaces after the base system and before "pfSense" boots, so that HA firewalls with different NICs could synchronize states.
This seems to be possible by using
<earlyshellcmd>/sbin/ifconfig ice0 name lan0; /sbin/ifconfig icx0 name lan1;</earlyshellcmd>
but a supported version that can be configured via the UI would be better.

That would make things even more complex and isn't sustainable. There are already workarounds for that limitation (e.g. LAGGs)
