I think changing the VLAN tag was supported starting in 10.0 as noted in CR33990 and the 10.0.0 release notes.

 

 

 

10.0.0 release notes:

Editable VLAN tags

 

With this release, you can now change the VLAN tag that you initially assigned to a VLAN without having to delete and then recreate the VLAN.

 

 

 

Until then you'll need to remove references to the VLAN, delete it and recreate it with the updated tag. You could simplify this process slightly by renaming the bigip.conf, loading the config, editing the bigip_base.conf, renaming the bigip.conf back and reloading the config. Note I haven't tested this, but it seems like it should work.
