    You need to set the "vdom" name. if your not running mult-vdom it would be vdom "root", if  you have vdoms than insert the name of the vdom.

     

    BTW: All interfaces physical or virtual are part of a vdom.

    Uhm did you actually read the error message?

    It says "subnet overlaps with port internal6"

     

    Remove the IP address of port 6 first
