Remove the Network Module

Step 1

From Devices > Device Management, click Manage in the Chassis column. For clustering or High Availability, this option is only available for the control node/active unit; network module changes are replicated to all nodes.

The Chassis Operations page opens for the device. This page shows physical interface details for the device.

Step 2

On the interfaces graphic, click the slider () to disable the network module.

Step 3

You are prompted to confirm that you want to turn the network module off. Click Yes.

Step 4

You see a message at the top of the screen; click the link to go to the Interfaces page to save the interface changes.

Step 5

At the top of the Interfaces page, you see a message that the interface configuration has changed.

1. Click Click to know more to open the Interface Changes dialog box to view the changes.

   

2. Click Validate Changes to make sure your policy will still work with the interface changes.

   If there are any errors, you need to change your policy and rerun the validation.

   Deleting an interface that is used in your security policy can impact the configuration. Interfaces can be referenced directly in many places in the configuration, including access rules, NAT, SSL, identity rules, VPN, DHCP server, and so on. Deleting an interface will delete any configuration associated with that interface. Policies that refer to security zones are not affected.

3. Click Close to return to the Interfaces page.

Step 6

Click Save to save the interface changes to the firewall.

Step 7

If you had to change any configuration, go to Deploy > Deployment and deploy the policy.

Step 8

Reboot the firewall; see Shut Down or Restart the Device.
