Depending on what you meant by "move". If you're changing just IP/subnet, you can remove it from the phy interface then reconfigure it at a VLAN. Then after that, you can move DHCP interface, etc., which were bound to the phy int, to the VLAN int.

Hi Toshi

 

What i meant is to convert a physical interface to a VLAN interface without having to rebuild everything on that interface (DHCP, reservations, routes, policies, etc)

short answer == NO

 

You will have to tear all items out ( DHCP SERVER , policies,etc in order to make it a tagged interface )

Same procedure as every time:

create the VLAN interface

backup the config

edit the backup file, replacing most occurrences of the physical interface name with the VLAN name

restore the config file, will reboot
