Hello,          I am working on an automation solution where-by I need to add interfaces or sub-interfaces for tenants. Now the problem I have run into is in cases where an interface has been used previously and either not reset back to default config properly or at all. In these cases when I try to commit configuration I run into issues with interface being members in VLAN's, VR's or zones etc. To get around this I need to perform a barrage of calls to the API to check all zone, VR, VLAN  etc and grep on members and then if the interface in question is a member I need to remove it by delete calls.   So the ideal scenario would be an API call to reset an interface to a default state. Sort of like a factory reset. Or if that is not doable a way to get all dependencies (memberships) of interfaces in one call at least reducing the amount of API calls I need to make by 50% (i.e. leaving only the delete calls).   Am I approaching this wrong or has anyone else run into this?   EDIT: Actually best way to do this that I can think of now is simply reading in the whole config into array and then do all queries on the array before sending the delete API calls.    BR,      Jorgen ...
