You will have to change the interfaces in the configuration when you restore it on the ALIX. The interfaces on the WRAP are sis(4), the ALIX has vr(4).

[pfSense Support] upgrading wrap to alix
Given that running on the WRAP requires some hackery, and does not support the dual firmware partitions, I'm planning to replace my current WRAP motherboard with the new ALIX board. I have the 2-ethernet, 2 miniPCI version of WRAP. Do I need a new enclosure to fit the ALIX? They appear to be laid out the same, so I'm guessing not, but just wanted to see if anyone here knows. I provide power using PoE so I'm assuming that will still work. Thanks! - To unsubscribe, e-mail: support-unsubscr...@pfsense.com For additional commands, e-mail: support-h...@pfsense.com Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
