Hello,

According to the output, the port is a part of a monitor session (a SPAN session) as a destination port. Look for "monitor session" commands in your configuration that refer to the port, and if you do not need this monitoring session, you may remove it from your configuration. That will make the port work normally again.

Best regards,
Peter
