Hello, I have a problem. I have created a subinterface (VLAN) with a bad VLANID and a bad interface name. Unfortunately, the buttom " delete" in menu " Network/Interface" is grayed when I check this subinterface. How to remove or modify this subinterface ? Thank you for your help. N.B. : I have a F200B v4 MR2

    Do you have anything bound to that sub-interfaces ( vpn,dhcp-server, fwpolicies, vips,etc...) if it has any objects attached via some configurations, then you would not beable to delete it. What you could do; rename the sub-interface and edit out the vlan-id to the correct vlan-id #. If you really need to delete it, upgrade to the new code which gives you a dependencies check/attach buttom or down load the config to a text editor and Find ( grep ) on the interface name.

    Backup the entire firewall configuration to a file, then search the file for the name of the sub-interface. You should be able to find the config section(s) where it is referenced.

     config system interface      edit " vlan12"           set vdom " root"           set interface " internal"           set vlanid 12      next      edit " vlan32"           set vdom " root"           set interface " internal"           set vlanid 32      next  end    gate (interface) # ed vlan32  gate (vlan32) # set vlanid 33  next  VLAN ID or physical interface cannot be changed once a VLAN has been created.  object set operator error, -522 discard the setting  
    And there' s no ' rename' command in ' config system interface' . But a ' delete' ...
