Originally created by @bellwood on GitHub (Jul 7, 2016).

Rather than delete, recreate and re-associate connections it would be nice to be able to rename interfaces (e.g fa-0/1 <---> fa0/1 <---> FastEthernet0/1)

I already know there will be much discussion internally about the format and having basically loaded all my data up going back through it again for renaming would be tedius

Interfaces can be edited and renamed individually from the device view, at /dcim/interfaces/{pk}/edit/. They can also be renamed in bulk using the yet-to-be-documented shell. (For device types, it's easiest to simply delete and recreate interface templates.)

Bulk editing of interfaces is probably best done through the shell. Going to close this issue and hopefully publish some documentation around the shell soon.

In practice, this should be a very rare occurrence, since interfaces should be named however they are referred to on the device. For example, Cisco IOS would call an interface "FastEthernet0/1"; although "fa0/1" can be used as a shortcut on the CLI, the interface is never referred to in this manner.
