Hello Richard,
Thank you for raising this idea request. Unfortunately we’re unable to replicate this behaviour in our labs. So we checked the docs and Cisco API Object model Documentation, doesn’t list ok as one of the valid values either.
This needs more investigation and will require some assistance from you before we can progress:
Can you confirm the APIC version you’re experiencing this issue on?
Can you check the APIC API documentation on your instance – it’s under help and look for Object Model Documentation. The object being – ethpmPhysIf
A quick link would be - https://<APIC IP or Hostname>//doc/jsonmeta/ethpm/PhysIf.json
If the documentation on your instance confirms what we are seeing, you will need to get Cisco TAC involved as a next step.
Here is the extract from the API Object Model Documentation :-
