Change Port of VLAN from Port1 to PortF1

I have a VLAN, currently on Port1. Now I connected my XGS-126 to my switch using glass fibre. However, under Network/VLAN I cannot edit the Port#

Which selection of the configuration should be exported? Would it be sufficient to export just the VLAN part? I think that I also should include the DHCPServer as I need to delete the existing VLAN (and this will the existing DHCP server of the VLAN). Are there additional selections to be made. Or are there additional changes to be made.

  • Check the log of VPN if anything changed in your config.

    Do you mean this log?

    This is on the OpenVPN client:

    I monitored during import. During creation of the interfaces I can connect. After creation of the VLAN I can still connect. However I can not connect after the VLAN DHCP server is created. The VPN connection should be to the main network so changes in the VLAN should not have any impact.

  • To change the port of a VLAN from Port1 to PortF1, you will need to access your network switch's configuration settings. The exact steps to do this may vary depending on the specific switch you are using, but the general process is as follows:

    1. Connect to your network switch using a console cable or through a web-based interface.
    2. Locate the VLAN configuration settings for the VLAN you want to modify.
    3. Look for the option to modify the ports associated with the VLAN.
    4. Remove Port1 from the list of ports associated with the VLAN.
    5. Add PortF1 to the list of ports associated with the VLAN.
    6. Save your changes and exit the configuration settings.

    After making these changes, any devices connected to PortF1 should now be included in the specified VLAN, and devices previously connected to Port1 will no longer be included in the VLAN. It's important to note that changing VLAN settings can impact network performance and connectivity, so it's important to thoroughly test any changes before implementing them in a production environment.

  •   From the Web interface is the method as mentioned by  as it can not be done directly from the GUI. It seems that the console has no option to do this. 

    Note: I have a XGS126 in HA setup.

  •  Did an export of the full configuration and Port1 is found three (3) times on expected locations (interface two (2) times and IP Host (1) time)).

  •  Issue resolved by importing the OpenVPN configuration.
