Hi,

I search howto set to default the name/description of port (using PUT method on /rest/v4/port URI)

but look not possible...

Hey, 

Totally new to the ArubaOS API, but i like APIs so I gave it a shot.

But I had the same results as you, writing "" or even None/null-types gave me errors:

{"message":"Incomplete input: name"}

{"message":"Wrong type for name"}

And there seems to be no delete methods for this either (not sure if you can delete anything that is a sub-command).

Thanks for feedback... my code is not wrong ;-)

There is missing feature for this...

I known there is a AnyCLI but no a good solution for me...

Currently its a bug in the REST API where we have to specify atleast a charecter  to update the port name using API. We will look into fixing it.

For now you may need to use anycli api option till that get fixed.

Thanks for feedback.

There is a number of case/issue ? for following this ?

same issue with DNS... it is complicated to remove DNS name or server... :(

It is not meant to be NULL

"name":
        {
            "description": "The name of the Port.", 
            "type": "string", 
            "maxLength": 64, 
            "minLength": 1, 
            "sql.unique": true
        },

Bug on API ? :)

It is documented, so it‘s not a bug.
The delete option is just missing

it will be strange to get a DELETE for only remove a description name...

it is a wront definition for this field... i can be null

The key in this resourse will be updated in the AOS-S 16.09 release. 

The name key will allow for a "null" or "zero length" name.

"name":
        {
            "description": "The name of the Port. An \"\" denotes removal of 
           already configured name if exists.",
           "type": "string", 
            "maxLength": 64, 
            "minLength": 0, 
            "sql.unique": true
        },

with a cURL commnad like:curl --noproxy <switch IP> --cookie "<sessionId cookie>" -i -k -X PUT https://<switch IP>/rest/v7/ports/<port ID> -d '{"id": "7", "name": "testPort"}'a response like this will be returned from the API: 

{
"uri":"/ports/7","id":"7",
"name":"testPort",
"is_port_enabled":true,
"is_port_up":false,
"config_mode":"PCM_AUTO",
"trunk_mode":"PTT_NONE",
"lacp_status":"LAS_DISABLED",
"trunk_group":"",
"is_flow_control_enabled":false,
"is_dsnoop_port_trusted":false
}

or if left empty, curl --noproxy <switch IP> --cookie "<sessionId cookie>" -i -k -X PUT https://<switch IP>/rest/v7/ports/<port ID> -d '{"id": "7", "name": ""}'the respose from the API is:

{
"uri":"/ports/7",
"id":"7",
"name":"",
"is_port_enabled":true,
"is_port_up":false,
"config_mode":"PCM_AUTO",
"trunk_mode":"PTT_NONE",
"lacp_status":"LAS_DISABLED",
"trunk_group":"",
"is_flow_control_enabled":false,
"is_dsnoop_port_trusted":false
}

Yes, i have see this but not yet tested... (and there is also some other field where it is complicated to set default value...)

The updates to the 16.09 API v7 are detailed in the REST guide, these act as the API release notes. See chapter 4:
