I am just playing with a 40F and have only console access…
I have followed various suggestions on how to configure lan2 with an ip address and mask/gateway but constantly get errors….
should I be editing lan2 or port2…
any help appreciated…

In your case i will probably be
config system switch-interface
edit internal
delete internal2
end
After this you should be able t assign an IP to interna2
Hi @Mes-lili
With the default config your internal2 should be part of a vlan switch called internal you should remove internal2 from there before you can assign an IP
Ok thanks for the rapid response I will take a look in the morning but could you/anyone advise where your solution is documented as I did search for out of the box cli config and this never came up. Thanks

Ok thanks again but could you confirm the show command that would confirm that internal2 is configured.
Yes you can use
show system virtual-switch

All done…. Many thanks for your help with this.
