Solution
Check the following items before configuring a virtual hardware switch:
- No ip address is assigned to the interface.

- No static route is configured on the interface.
- No HA heartbeat interface is configured on the interface.
Note: As of now you are not able to configure a virtual hardware switch with interfaces that have been configured as HA heartbeat interfaces by default.
