unreachable when adding vNIC
0%
Description
When i add an NIC to pfSense and reboot it so it will appear within pfSense the web-GUI becomes unreachable (after the reboot).
From the VM console it's still reachable, using option 1 (Assign Interfaces) and adding the NIC that way, when pressing "Y" to apply the settings it does not do anything after it.
Removing the NIC will not resolve this problem, the most easy way is using the VMWare snapshot manager.
I have this problem which an updated installation (2.2.6 > 2.3) and an fresh installation from ISO
Extra info:
Host: VMWare ESXi 6.0.0 (3568940)
NIC Driver: VMXNET3
NIC's:
- WAN = VMX0
- LAN = VMX1
- OPT1 = VMX2
- OPT2 = VMX3
- OPT3 = OVPNS1
- OPT4 = OVPNS3
- OPT5 = OVPNC2
- OPT6 = VMX4 <<< trying to add this one

That's a known problem with vmware/esx. When adding more than four interfaces, the hypervisor mixes up the order. You have to track down the new order, check the MAC addresses, and ensure they're all reassigned properly. Search around a bit, there are several threads around for the problem, though it can be hard to hit them since the search terms are a bit tricky for this issue.
