in USG FLEX H Series

Hi,

here I am again.

I need to group p2 (assigned to mail LAN network lan1) and p4 (connected to an Access Point) but it doesn't allow me to do that.

With old USG40 I could easily choose port role for any of the physical ports but cannot figure out how to do that with this new 500H. When I try to add p4 to the interface properties automatically p2 is unchecked. So as it is the Access Point connected to p4 cannot be connected to lan1. But if I try to group for example p3 and p5 it works.

Is this normal?

Kari

    The problem might be you can't group non-POE with POE?

    are all references removed to add it in a group?

    I've disabled Poe because right now is not a necessity and it doesn't work. But if I try to group for example p2 and p7 (or any other unused port) it does the same. As per references p4 has no References, only lan1 (p2) has:

    Even if I change both ports to 1Gb speed it doesn’t work. Yes, if I try to group P3 and P4 it allows me to do that. But I need to use P2 and P4. Why it doesn’t allow me?

    Ok, now I've moved lan1 to p3 so I can group it with p4 as I need.

    I was scared because as soon as I moved cables and grouped p3 and p4 both ports showed 0.0.0.0 and all network went offline but fortunately after a firewall reboot everything went back to normal and the grouped interface started working again.

    Thank you for your answers
