I believe if you use http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iControl.LocalLB__NodeAddressV2__create.ashx to create the NodeAddress, you can specify a name. To be honest, it's probably better to leave the name as the IP address and just set a description using http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iControl.LocalLB__NodeAddressV2__set_description.ashx.

 

 

Be aware that setting the port is something that occurs when you associate a node to a pool, not when you create a node.

 

 

Also, keep in mind this is how V11 API works. Old behavior is to set a screen name.
