I wanted to configure the BLUE zone as VLAN on my IPFire running on an APU board with 3 NICs. The network was configured as "Green + Red + Orange". Therefore I changed the network via the setup routine to "Green + Red + Orange + BLUE", set an IP address for blue, but left the NIC unassigned (just by selecting "IGNORE"). I expected the BLUE zone to show up in "Web Interface/Network/Zone Configuration" to configure its VLAN there, but the BLUE zone didn't show up. I got the BLUE zone configured by editing the config files "/var/ipfire/ethernet/settings" & "/var/ipfire/ethernet/vlans" as mentioned in the video with Timo Eissler https://wiki.ipfire.org/en/optimization/vlan/start I observed this behavior on IPFire running as a virtual machine (VirtualBox) as well on my IPFire running on an APU board. Both are running IPFire 2.25 - Core Update 153.
Hello Pete, yes, this might actually happen because of some side-effects. It is however not very easy to solve this quickly. What you can do as a workaround is open /var/ipfire/ethernet/settings and find the "BLUE_DEV=" line. If you change it to something like "BLUE_DEV=blue0" and reload the web UI you should see the blue column. Could you please test this for me and let me know if it worked?
Hello Leo, I take this as you are looking into it? I wasn't aware of it earlier, but it looks like this fits into the last couple of patches that you submitted. Yay :)

Yay > :) Hi Michael, you are right, i will have a look at it :) I think the new zone functions you merged earlier today already fix this. I just need to submit another patch to make zoneconf.cgi use them.
Has this already been in c154?
This is that patch: https://patchwork.ipfire.org/patch/3899/ As far as I know it is planned for core 155
Yes you are correct. Thank you very much :)
