Removing a VLAN from Interface
One of physical interface on a SG 15000 Series firewall cluster is trunked with 1 vlan and I need to remove that vlan and turn off the interface . What is the correct procedure to do that ?
Cluster with active/standby setup. Gateways are on GAIA R77.30 , managed by R80 CMA.

Delete the VLAN Interface from GAiA Web portal or Clish..
Turn off the physical interface.
All changes must do on each member of gateways.
Then Update Topology Table on Smartconsole

Should it be removed 1st on Standby Gateway ?
After updating the topology table should a policy push be required ?

if you update topology after removing it from gateways, this will break cluster status for sure!

Thanks Norbert.
I would like to follow the steps you outlined. Below is my Plan,
1) Remove the interface from the topology table in SmartConsole and push the policy.
( Current output of cphaprob -a if is below & cphaprb stat - Active/Standby )
Required interfaces: 4
Required secured interfaces: 1)
after step 1 would the output be as below ?
( Current output of cphaprob -a if is below & cphaprb stat - Active/Standby )
Required interfaces: 3
Required secured interfaces: 1)
2) delete IF from standby (clish)
3) delete IF from active (clish)
4) admin down the physical interface on both nodes

Delete vlan then admin down interface on both members.
Would prefer to start with standby node, especially if interface/vlan set as a cluster monitored
After changes on firewall nodes level, update topology on cluster object in CMA and push policy

Hi,
As it is in cluster, I would suggest to follow instruction as per sk57100.

sk57100 is a good choice.
But I must admit, that I never followed it completely. So I never stopped a member for this type of maintenance.
I normally use the following to remove an interface:
- remove it from topology in cluster object through SmartConsole
- check chaprob -a if for the change on both members
- delete IF from standby (clish)
- delete IF from active (clish)
