    Yes, details for this can be found here -> https://clouddocs.f5.com/api/icontrol-rest/APIRef_tm_net_interface.html

     

    So to enable 1.1 you would send something like

    curl -k -u admin:<password> https:/-X PATCH -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://<bigip>/mgmt/tm/net/interface/1.1 -d '{ "enabled":true }'

     

    ...and to disable 1.1...

    curl -k -u admin:<password> -X PATCH -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://<bigip>/mgmt/tm/net/interface/1.1 -d '{ "disabled":true }'
