Cannot delete interface

jfgagnon · ‎04-06-2018

Hi!

I created a hardware switch interface type, with 2 physical ports, and cannot delete it.

It's grayed out, even if I try to disable them.

How is it possible to delete them, please?

TY

Go to GUI Interfaces view. At the end of the table, there is a Ref. column. I assume the number of reference is not 0. Then you can't delete it. If you click the number, you can see where it is referred. You need to remove the references first to be able to delete any objects not only an interface.

Hi,

When creating a hardware switch, it's common to also set up a VLAN, address object, and DHCP server. To delete the hardware switch interface, first check the VLAN under that switch to see the reference count.

If the reference shows dependencies, click to view them. Items with a reference count of "0" can be deleted. However, for address objects that match subnets, you need to go to the Address section under Policies and Objects, search for the specific address, and delete it.

After removing any necessary address objects, go back to the VLAN interface and check the reference count again. If it’s "0," you can delete the VLAN and reuse the interface.
