Hi,

I can't seem to locate anything in the doco that helps, happy to refer to that if it exists.

Failing that, I have a device name that I'd like to change the name of to reflect a configuration change. Is it possibly to modify the name of the firewall in this case without dropping all of the captured stats etc?
