Interface naming issue

We purchased two XG750 to run in HA-Active-Passive config.  Each is identically equipped with 4 SPF+ ports and 2 QSFP ports.  On the Primary XG the SFP+ ports are named PortC1-PortC4, left to right,  but on the Auxillary XG the SFP+ ports are name eth0-eth3 right to left.  PortC1 is the WAN port, PortC4 is the LAN port.  The HA ports are PortD1, the QSFP ports, on both units.When I activate HA it brings the network down.  Looking at the logs from the CLI on the Auxillary unit it shows errors: "Cannot find PortC! PortC2, etc.  When I try to rename the ports to match the names on the Primary unit it reports back that PortC1 is a system reserved name, please choose a different name.

When I contacted support I was told that there was no way for me to rename the ports at the system level.  Any thoughts, ideas?

  • The only thing that is "reserved" is the string "port".

    You should be able to rename the interfaces to "MyInterface1" While "MyPort1" is not allowed. But this does not solve the ordering issue.

    Or I'd start rebuilding both boxes from iso or at least the Aux node and re-join it to the cluster.
