Any tips?

In the 7.2.8 release notes below, there is a known issue similar to your description. But it's just GUI view. I would suggest you ask TAC via ticket to evaluate your issue if it's a known  issue. There might be a temporally patch version available if you can't wait until 7.2.9.

On the Network > Interfaces page, hardware and software switches show VLAN interfaces as down instead of up. The actual status of the VLAN interface can be verified using the command line.

    Hi @tubirubs 

    Using VLAN interfaces from a hardware switch in a software switch honestly I never seen that and I have some doubt if it is a supported configuration. Better to contact TAC also to ask if it is supported.
