Swap eth0 <-> eth1

gzartman
I am working to upgrade an install and the old install, for what ever reason, had the LAN on eth1 and WAN on eth0.  For convention sake, I'd like to swap them.  Is this possible?

I noted a few other threads on this, but they didn't really give a direct answer.

Thank you,

    Yes this is possible but you have to take care that you don't loose access to your UTM. 
    I think there's a hard way (reconfiguring everything including webadmin access, DHCP, possibly also firewall and other rules that are now configured on the other interface).

    There's also an option to change the NIC order by editing /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules. This is described in this post (scroll down to NIC order).

    But first make sure to make a backup just in case you mess things up!
