Technical Tip: Understanding error message 'node_check_object fail! for interface-name'
| Description | This article describes the error message 'node_check_object fail! for interface-name” when adding port 7 in an existing FortiLink interface from CLI.
riz-kvm43 # config system interface Iriz-kvm43 (interface) # edit "test" Iriz-kvm43 (test) # show config system interface edit "test" set vdom "root" set fortilink enable set ip 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0 set allowaccess ping fabric set type aggregate set member "port3" "port4" "port5" "port6" set device-identification enable set lldp-reception enable set lldp-transmission enable set snmp-index 15 set auto-auth-extension-device enable next end
Iriz-kvm43 (test) # set member "port3" "port4" "port5" "port6" "port7" node_check_object fail! for interface-name port7
value parse error before 'port7' Command fail. Return code -651 |
| Scope | FortiOS. |
| Solution | In this scenario, the user is trying to configure port7 to be a member of the FortiLink interface named 'test'. The user is unable to add port7 as it is already configured in a software switch.
To verify that port7 is added in a software switch:
Iriz-kvm43 # show full | grep -f port7 config system switch-interface edit "lan" set vdom "root" set member "port7" <--- set type switch set intra-switch-policy implicit set mac-ttl 300 set span disable next end
The following command can also check the References for port7:
diagnose sys cmdb refcnt show system.interface.name port7
To resolve this issue, port7 should be removed from the software switch interface.
Iriz-kvm43 # config system switch-interface edit lan Iriz-kvm43 (lan) # unset member Iriz-kvm43 (lan) # end Iriz-kvm43 # show system switch-interface config system switch-interface edit "lan" set vdom "root" next end
