I didn't use VLAN on the interface.

Once I add the interface to the virtual system the interface went down. I would like to ask if you have any idea to troubleshoot the interface down.</P><P>Regards,</P><P>AJ</P> Fri, 19 Jun 2020 23:11:28 GMT https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/Interface-was-down-when-I-add-the-virtual-switch-to-the-Virtual/m-p/89253#M8983 AdrianJames 2020-06-19T23:11:28Z Re: Interface was down when I add the virtual switch to the Virtual System https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/Interface-was-down-when-I-add-the-virtual-switch-to-the-Virtual/m-p/89399#M8984 <P>When you say interface went down - where did you see it? Do you use cluster? If you used VLAN tags, have you allowed VLAN on trunk between two cluster members?</P> Mon, 22 Jun 2020 09:45:31 GMT https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/Interface-was-down-when-I-add-the-virtual-switch-to-the-Virtual/m-p/89399#M8984 Kaspars_Zibarts 2020-06-22T09:45:31Z Re: Interface was down when I add the virtual switch to the Virtual System https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Firewall-and-Security-Management/Interface-was-down-when-I-add-the-virtual-switch-to-the-Virtual/m-p/89428#M8985 I saw the LED light of the interface was turned off but the when I checked the status using CLI( "show interface") the state was on.

I'll let you know once I done.
