There is a cheeky way to remove one interface directly, without having to dismantle the soft-switch first:

 

  1. Open the "lan" switch interface.
  2. Notice the URL: /ng/interface/edit/lan
  3. Rewrite the URL to the name of the hw-switch and open the new URL: /ng/interface/edit/internal
  4. You should be in the GUI editor of the "internal" HW switch, and you should be able to remove the internal1/2/etc members as desired.

Apart from this, it should also still be possible to pop it out via CLI, if I remember correctly:

 

 

config system virtual switch
    edit internal
    config port
        delete internal2
    end
end

Hello,

I think your internal port is vlan switch that has all other ports internal1-internal5 as a members. So you would need to remove internal2 port from that vlan switch and then you can create VLAN under that physical interface.

Hello,

Based on the screenshot you have software-switch that has the member your internal hardware-switch. You would need to remove this hardware switch from software-switch first and then you should be able to remove internal2 from hardware-switch. But in order to do this, you will need to remove current references for that Magna_Lan1 interface.

If I remove softeware switches, can I access router from lan?

 

On the other hand, there are a lot Ref. relate to Software switches already. It quick difficult to remove it...

Hello,

You will not be. Because no port will be assigned to your software-switch. So you would need to connect either via console (you would need to do all changed via CLI) or via different port, for example wan port. And then play with LAN ports.

is it possibe add Wan2 interface menber in Magna_lan1,(as the same time, plug lan line from wan2 to hardware switch)

Then, remove "internal" from interface menber in Magna_lan1?

 

 

 

After this, should "internal" can be display and edit???

Hello,

Yes, it should be. But be careful. When you are going to do this kind of action, always have backup plan, in this case have console cable available in case you will need to configure something via CLI.
