renaming ether interfaces after scripting

Quick question, I’ve my router set up and working well. But if I want to rename interfaces i.e. change ether1 to wan or ether2 to wan will it effect the setting’s I have given those ports using the scripting and the terminal?

No, changes you made aren’t erased. However if you have some custom scripts referring interface by it’s name you should edit them to reflect interface name change.

Good to know. No custom scripts so far. So I’ll start renaming. thanks
