The issue is known bug 1046966.
It is a known issue with the set VLAN setting in the switch which occurs when the version is upgraded from version 7.4.3 to 7.4.4, triggering a continuous reboot.
The workaround is to unset the VLAN or upgrade to a build after 7.4.5:2675, 7.6.0:3391. config system virtual-switch edit "internal" set physical-switch "sw0" config port edit "internal1" next edit "internal2" next edit "internal3" next edit "internal4" next edit "internal5" next end next end
