Adding Port 4 back to the Hardware Switch

[tech1uae]

Hi,

Can anyone please help me with this? A new client of mine has an existing EF100 and it looks as though someone before has made Port 4 standalone to try and configure a Guest network.

I have since created a Guest VLAN and would like to add the Port back into the Hardware Switch. However, I have absolutely no idea how to get it back in. I've looked everywhere.

Thanks!

Andy

Just edit "lan" by double-clicking it. You'll find an input field "members" featuring a '+'. Click this and a list of available ports will show up.

Note that all references to the port need to be removed in order to make it selectable. That is, DHCP server, NTP server, VIPs, VLANs etc.etc.

Thanks for the reply.

The port is showing under Physical Interfaces, has no references and won't allow itself to be added to the Hardware switch.

Cheers.

Re-check in CLI:

conf sys virtual-switch

ed lan

config port

edit ?

You should now get a list of available ports.

If port4 does not show up, check where it's used (don't trust the GUI too much):

- get a backup, unencrypted

- search in your favorite editor for "port4" and, if found, remove reference in the CLI

If the port is not used anywhere there's no reason it couldn't be used in the hw switch.

Thanks,

I'm getting:

*All    members of physical switch sw0:

port4

 

current members of lan

 

port1   

port2   

port3   

port5   

port6   

port7   

port8   

port9   

port10   

port11   

port12   

port13   

port14   

port15   

port16

Check here for the missing port:

config system switch-interface
    edit "sw0"
        set vdom "root"
        set member "internal5"
    next
end

If you 'unset member xxx' it should free the port.

Got it sorted using the GUI. It was set to DHCP mode rather than manual.

As soon as I turned off the DHCP, it allowed me to add back to the switch.

Thanks for your help!

What exactly was set to DHCP - the switch or port4?
