In BIG-IP, not just iControl but also the GUI, CLI... all interfaces are referenced by names. I'm assuming the SNMP interface numeric index you have is retrieved by walking the generic mib-2. If you also look at the F5's SNMP mib at f5/f5system/loadbal/interface, you'll also find that there's a matching interface number corresponding to the numeric index you get from the generic mib. You will also see that there's an interface name for this interface number. This is the interface name you'll need to use in making iControl calls.
