Trying to add new Interface with PowerShell I get this error: Invoke-RestMethod : {"name":["Ensure this field has no more than 30 characters."]}
We have Network Interface Names in Windows with more then 30 characters.
Can you increase interface name length?

Ver. 2.1.2

You mean examples of long adapter names? Sure!
We have Hyper-V cluster which has a lot of virtual interfaces.
As an example: vEthernet (live-migration-network) (34 symbols)

With the up coming virtualization feature, I will add here that in certain situations in VMware NSX, interface names are UUIDs. Specifically in some VTEP integrations.

50 symbols?

64 characters should suffice.

That should cover most UUID and overly verbose labels.
