Creating a new VLAN error

Hi,

 

I'm new to F5 so forgive me if this question is silly.

 

 

I'm trying to create a new VLAN on our LTM. When i click the finish button, i get the following error:

 

 

01020066:3: The Requested VLAN (Hosting-1) already exists in partition Hosting.

 

 

I can't see where a VLAN or partition called 'Hosting' is configured anywhere on the LTM.

 

 

Any thoughts?

 

thanks,

    Hi Luca,

     

    Have you tried creating the VLAN with a different name? what is the name you are suggesting for the VLAN as per your above postign you are creating the vlan with name Hosting-1. Try some other name or give the details of how you are trying to create VLAN.

    It might be in a different admin partition than you have access to. Grepping for the VLAN name in the conf files from the command line like Nitass suggested should help you find it.
