Functioning again and looking at the differences between my poking-around config and the wizard's config.
Right, once you know what you are doing, creating a config by hand is fine, but you need to start learning from a good point.
You used to need to use the
LAN+2LAN2wizard, but back in 1.9.0 or 1.8.X They finally added theBasic Setupwizard that does everything right.
How solid are those wizards? I have never even tried them. After managing over 100 vyatta routers I just continued on with CLI only.

Ugh both m kids are sick. Going to be a long night. May install Debian 9.1 on my vultr instance for poops and giggles.

The
Basic SetupandWAN+2LAN2are good. Not used the rest. I would only use theBasic Setupnow though.If you already know Vyatta syntax strongly, there is no need to use a wizard really.

That's what I figured, I think the most I have used the WebUI on my ER was adding them to to UNMS

I'll second @JaredBusch here. If you know the Vyatta syntax already, just stick with that.
The
Load Balancingwizard also works well. -
The hardest part for me was going from the 6.4+ back down to the 6.3 syntax
set nat source/destination is much more intuitive than set service nat and moving the source/dest to A sub-node. Nitpicky at best. Just what you get used to

Just got home from work.. Man am I tired.. but i got my desktop up and running minus having internet thus far. overall, great day!
-
I know the feeling, pretty tired here, too.

Pretty sure that I just busted an iX sales drone on SW. Much like the FreeNAS documentation, he lacks plausible credibility. He spouts words but gets ALL the details wrong in his attempt to make a sale. He claims ZFS is better than RAID (even though ZFS is RAID), gets upset that Oracle made ZFS (Sun made it for Solaris 10), claims 9 million customers of iX systems, claims that the number of customers makes a product viable, etc. Then claims to be both an IT pro with 14 years of experience, but then claims to be a humble home users (red flag, not allowed to post on SW.)
-
I'm guessing that he will get his account deleted. He has very few posts with a high post deletion rate. I think that they know that he's a sales guy for iX but can't quite prove it yet. In case he starts deleting his incriminating posts, here are a few..

look at you go, weeding out the fakes

Going through his old posts, looks like a lot about FreeNAS are indexed by no longer exist. I have a feeling that those have been getting deleted for a while now.

I try. He failed pretty hard. He didn't take the time to even look up the basics.

I'm taking zero vendor baloney today. I've had three vendors mess with me so far today and none have had a good day as a result of it.

See I know better than to pretend to be someone Im not... especially not around IT Pros such as everyone on this site.. I make it clear I am new
-
Look, here he is a year ago giving the same sales pitch for FreeNAS and even a year ago he was stuck defending that he's not a salesman for iX (he doth protest too much.)
-
I wrote up a report on him for the mods. They can sort him out. Probably just needs to be watched.

LOL. Rule for for posting on social media: know who the big players are that aren't going to take your shit.

One vendor was not online, just made a big accounting "mistake". One didn't like their bad press online so went to my boss hoping to pressure her into getting me to not expose them. Um, that failed. And then this appears to be vendor three trying to sneak by some high pressure sales.
