Cannot Delete Interface - The entry is used by other 4 entries

KPS · ‎08-14-2018

Hi!

I am using a Fortigate 200E with software version 5.4.5

I am trying to delete a vlan-interface. The problem is:

fg200e_HZ_1_1 (interface) # delete Inet992
The entry is used by other 4 entries
Command fail. Return code -23

fg200e_HZ_1_1 (root) # diagnose sys checkused system.interface.name Inet992

--> The GUI shows 4 references, but there are NO references.

The config does not show any other occurence of the name "Inet992" except the interface definition.

Do you have any idea, how to delete the interface with the "invisible" references?

Thank you and best wishes

Your probably missing a address binding, What I would do is to download the cfg and parse thru it or use

clid-cmd show | grep -f Inet992

And look for any references.

Probably one is the dhcp server. Gui does not show this as reference since in gui it is part of the interface setup however on cli it is not.

Did you check if there are any dns-forwarders or routes still on this interface?
