Question

Remove VLAN

Hi! Trying to figure out how to remove a vlan I just created. I actually just need to change the source port but it's not allowing me to do so. It's telling me once it's already been created you can't change the interface or vlan id. Thoughts anyone?

 

Thanks in Advance!

    You have to delete it and retry. Unbound all dependencies to that interface

     

     

    fwpolicy

    dhcp-server

    address

    vips

    etc....

    There's a second way:

    backup the config, edit the (text) file and change the VLAN ID, restore the config from that file. FGT will reboot.

    If that is less effort depends on your configuration.

     

    There are some object for which rename support has been added over the years, like addresses, VIPs and more. VLAN IDs are not as 'simple' as they might appear; DHCP or NTP server in FOS are examples which (might) incorporate a VLAN ID.

    Hi,

     

    Once the VLAN is created it will not let you change the Physical interface or VLAN ID. You have only option to recreate the VLAN after deleting it.
