## Symptoms

- * After reboot, one or two bonded VLAN interfaces are missing from the `"ifconfig"` command output, causing a disruption in the corresponding network connection.
* The affected VLAN interface may vary with each reboot. In the Cpview interfaces list, the status of the affected interface is displayed as "Off".
* The `"cphaprob -a if"` command may exclude the affected interface in the cluster environment.
* The Gaia Portal indicates that the Link Status of the affected VLAN interface is "Up".
* $FWDIR/log/fwk.elg shows log print "FW-1: Warning: Interface X is defined but not currently present"

## Cause

IFM daemon fails to enable all the VLAN interfaces.

## Solution

This problem was fixed. The fix is included in:

* [Check Point R82.10](https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk183506)
* [Jumbo Hotfix Accumulator for R82](https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/Jumbo_HFA/R82/Default.htm) starting from Take 118

<br />

If you choose not to install the Hotfix, use Clish commands to re-enable the affected VLAN interface as a workaround:  

`[clish]> set interface <bond VLAN interface name> state off`  
`[clish]> set interface <bond VLAN interface name> state on`
