With version v12, the naming of the interface names is changed during a new installation. The designation in the software is now always identical to the designation printed on the unit.
Black Dwarf, RC100 and RC200
in each case LANx, starting with 1.
eth0 becomes LAN1
eth1 becomes LAN2 etc.
RC300S
for the onboard interfaces Ax, starting with 0
eth0 becomes A0
eth1 becomes A1 etc.
for the extension card B0 to Bx
eth8 becomes B0
eth9 becomes B1 etc.
RC350R to RC1000R
for the onboard interfaces Ax, starting with 0
eth0 becomes A0
eth1 becomes A1 etc.
for the first expansion card B0 to Bx
from eth10 becomes B0
eth11 becomes B1 etc.
for the second expansion card C0 to Cx
from eth18 becomes C0
eth19 becomes C1 etc.
Should only the second card be used without the first card:
eth10 becomes C0
eth11 becomes C1 etc.
Installation of optional cards
up to v11.8.11 only To ensure that the additional cards are correctly initialized and that the respective port is also assigned to the correct interface, the device must first be started without the additional cards. Then switch off the device, insert the first additional card and start the device again. This process must be repeated for each additional card to prevent errors with the interfaces.
The device must be shut down properly via the CLI or the web interface.
As of version 11.8.12 (minimum version for Generation 5 devices), this process is no longer necessary.
