Hi @Maverick87,

Thank you for sharing your idea with us! To better understand your request and evaluate it further, could you please help clarify a few points:

• Could you share more about your usage scenario? In what situation would you need to quickly enable or disable a port connection? (Any examples would be very helpful.)
• Just to confirm, are you referring to something like this screen, where there would be an additional toggle or column to quickly activate/inactivate a port?

Your input will help us better capture the requirement and consider possible improvements.

Hi @Zyxel_Tina ,

I've changed the subject, I'm referring to a USG Flex H series.
Can be helpful deactivate an unused port for completely deny the access to the system just for security, to reduce the network's attack surface, and to prevent unauthorized device connections. Disabling unused ports, you ensure that only approved devices can connect to the network, protecting against unauthorized access.

And yes, I suppose to insert a enable/disable flag into the Interface —> Port path.

Thank you

Hi @Maverick87

Currently, you can remove the ports from the interface member list to prevent the port been unauthorized connected.

At beginning, all ports are assign to interface.

To change the port member of ge3(P3 and P4 only), we can remove p5 and p6.

Only use p3 and p4 for your firewall, remove interface ge4 by following:

Then you can remove interface ge4 and get this result:
