Hi Muhammedm, You likely have an IP address assigned at the global level. Remove it, write mem, and reboot. Double check the config before making any changes and ensure you will not be removing your only method of access to the device. vADC1(config)# ip ?  access-list    Configure Access List   **address      Transparent mode IP Address**  anomaly-drop    Set IP anomaly drop policy  app-protocol-port Application protocol port filtering  as-path      Configure an AS-path list for BGP vADC1#show run ip vADC1(config)# no ip address x.x.x.x y.y.y.y
