Harsh Patel,

Thank you for the response as shown below this is what I see.  I am only presented, as shown below, the ability to edit the interface and not delete.

you try to delete a physical port - that's not possible. you can only delete virtual ports.

LHerzog,

I had powered down the Virtual Machine (VM) and removed the additional NICs from the VM then powered it up.  this is why it shows N/A for status as the NIC no longer exist.  Could it be there is another location that I am not seeing to remove these three bottom items that show N/A?

Its always a bad idea to remove interface from a OS. Those interfaces stick with XG. So in case you need them in the future. If not, it would be possible to backup restore to a new VM. 

Hi, there are some posts here on the forums. All go in the same direction: don't ever add/remove NICs to XG. This breaks rules and other things. There does not seem to be a reasonable workaround.

Read this:

But I cannot copy LuCar Toni's post "Its always a bad idea to remove interface from a OS." This is usually not a big problem. Of course all references to a removed NIC would have to be replaced manually to an other remaining NIC. Probably XG has so many references to a NIC that it just makes no sense.
