Title: Unable to ADD second Uplink EFW 3.0
Post by: mr_tyl3r_durd3n on Saturday 22 March 2014, 10:31:39 pm
Hi ,
Is impossible to add any uplink to my fresh and new efw communty 3.0 (vm on ESXi 5.1 U1)
If i try to add a Gateway uplink , or a PPPoE connection , alway get this message:

Could not Enable Uplink. Device ethX is already used by Main uplink

Since yesterday same configuration work fine whit 2.4.1 efw community version on a fisica machine.

 P.S.
Also try 2.5.1 or 2.5.2 , i can get second uplink but is always on "FAILURE"
Any one get this problem ?

Hi ,

We had EFW 2.4.1 running for 3 years , whit RED on eth0 and Green on eth1
double uplink : Primary "Active" SHDSL "Ethernet Static"

Secondary "Active" ADSL "PPPoE"
using same RED interface eth0

Whit EFW 3.0 is not possible to using this configuration
also is not possible to add a "Gateway"
Could not Enable Uplink. Device ethX is already used by Main uplink

If we try to add a new eth2 get always same :
Could not Enable Uplink. Device ethX is already used by Main uplink

After made some test , I get this
up to 2.4.1 is possible to use same eth interface / same vlan to make two indipendent uplink ( one Ethernet, one PPPoE)
from 2.5.1 - 3.0 is not possible

Solution is ad an extra eth interface , whitout endian configuration ( not green , not blue not orange assign)
and use it only to configure extra uplink ( Ethenet Static o PPPoE)

Still have the Uplink using gateway problem ( 2.5.1 get always Failure status , from 3.0 Could not Enable Uplink. Device ethX is already used by Main uplink)
