Unable to create Aggregate Interface

Question

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to create a basic etherchannel/aggregate interface, but in the GUI, I get "system error", nothing else. So I tried in the CLI, to determine if it provides me a more descriptive error message and it does:

Error:

It is necessary to flush the firewall sessions in order to rebalance the traffic.could not add port4 aggregate aggregate. Object set operator error, 5, discard the setting.Command fail. Return code 5.

I tried clearing the session table with "diagnose sys session clear", no difference.

I checked the port settings, identical . Assigned to correct vdom. Tried disabling/enabling port4 etc. I created two other aggregates with separate ports, no issues, something odd with this port4. It's got 0 references to anything (same for port3).

I searched the forum, saw a thread, someone fixed it with a reboot, which I want to avoid, in case it's a different issue. Just curious has anyone seen this before and have a solution, other than reload?

Thanks!

It would help to see the exact error but i would start by double checking refcnt

e.g

diag sys cmdb refcnt show system.interface.name port3

diag sys cmdb refcnt show system.interface.name wan4

and you could do the follow

"show full-configuration | grep -f port3"

See if any one of the above shed some light.

Next, i would double print table out to a file and look any any limits for that model and fortios version

e.g ( linux macos ssh )

ssh admin@x.x.x.x "print tablesize" > maxvalues

cat maxvalues | egrep -i "(aggre|bond|interface)"
