Removing an Interface from a Virtual Device

Description

This command lets you remove an interface from an existing Virtual Device object:

Important – If the interface you remove leads to a Virtual Router, all routes through that interface are removed automatically.

Note - If there are routes that have a next-hop IP address, which would become inaccessible without this interface, the transaction fails.

Syntax

remove interface vd <Device Object Name> {name <Interface> | leads_to <VSW or VR Object Name>}
