Created L1-Network name cannot be changed.
The Central Manager cannot change the name of the L1 Network on the BIG-IP Next instance. It may indicate that the update was successful, but the outcome will be as follows: 1. The previous L1-Network remains unchanged. 2. A new L1-Network (with the updated name) is added.
- BIG-IP Next instance managed and onboarded by Central Manager - Configure network & proxy settings are already configured on the instance. - Edit the instance's configured L1-Network name.
Use the following steps: 1. Delete the L1-Network in instance using Central Manager proxy API (see below). 2. Delete the L1-Network in Central Manager (using the UI). How to Delete the L1-Network in an Instance Using the Central Manager Proxy API: 1. Log in to the Central Manager using the Central Manager login API. 2. Retrieve the instance ID for the L1 network object that needs to be modified by using the GET /api/v1/spaces/default/instances API. 3. Obtain the old L1 network ID that needs to be deleted by sending a GET request to api/device/v1/proxy/{INSTANCE_ID}?path=/L1-networks. 4. Delete the old L1 network by sending a DELETE request to /api/device/v1/proxy/{INSTANCE_ID}?path=/L1-networks/{L1_NETWORK_ID}. Note the Job ID returned in the "id" parameter of the response. 5. Ensure that the deletion of the L1 network is successful by sending a GET request to /api/device/v1/proxy/{INSTANCE_ID}?path=/jobs/{JOB_ID}. Confirm that the "title" under the "message" has the value "jobUpdateSuccessful."
