Change nameif to another logical name

[johnlloyd_13]

hi,

i would need to change one of the ASA logical nameif in order to standardize it.

i know i've done this before but was a very long time and couldn't remember whether changing the nameif will 'auto' update any related config: ACL group, routes, HTTP/SSH, SNMP.

i checked there's no NAT related config which is a good thing so i guess it's just doing layer 3.

can someone advise or confirm all the nameif related config will 'auto' update as well?

Hi @johnlloyd_13 

Yes, everything automatically updates when you change the nameif.
