Unable to create Aggregate Interface

[jkrbber]

Hey everyone, I'm trying to create a basic etherchannel/aggregate interface, but in the GUI, I get "system error", nothing else. So I tried in the CLI, to determine if it provides me a more descriptive error message and it does:Error: It is necessary to flush the firewall sessions in order to rebalance the traffic.could not add port4 aggregate aggregate. Object set operator error, 5, discard the setting.Command fail. Return code 5.I tried clearing the session table with "diagnose sys session clear", no difference.I checked the port settings, identical . Assigned to correct vdom. Tried disabling/enabling port4 etc. I created two other aggregates with separate ports, no issues, something odd with this port4. It's got 0 references to anything (same for port3). I searched the forum, saw a thread, someone fixed it with a reboot, which I want to avoid, in case it's a different issue. Just curious has anyone seen this before and have a solution, other than reload? Thanks!

It would help to see the exact error but i would start by double checking refcnt

e.g

   diag sys cmdb refcnt show system.interface.name port3   diag sys cmdb refcnt show system.interface.name wan4 and you could do the follow    "show full-configuration | grep -f port3" See if any one of the above shed some light. Next, i would double print table out to a file and look any any limits for that model and fortios version  e.g ( linux macos ssh )   ssh admin@x.x.x.x "print tablesize" > maxvalues cat  maxvalues | egrep -i "(aggre|bond|interface)"  Ken Felix

a bit nit-picking here, what Ken meant is

"diag sys cmdb refcnt show system.interface.name port4"

and

"show full-configuration | grep -f port4"

AFAIK there is no 3-link-limit to an LACP trunk, minimum is 8 (out of memory).

My best guess is that the ref counter is 'stuck' and will be released after a reboot. You've got to find a windows for this I'm afraid.

Thanks for the responses. Reboot fixed it.
