"SoftLayer_" prefix removed for readability.
Activate a server’s public network interface.
Activate a server’s public network interface to the maximum available speed. This operation is an alias for SoftLayer_Hardware_Server::setPublicNetworkInterfaceSpeed with a $newSpeed of -1 and a $redundancy of “redundant” or unspecified (which results in the best available redundancy state).
Receipt of a response does not indicate completion of the configuration change. Any subsequent attempts to request the interface change speed or state, while changes are pending, will result in a busy error.
A response of true indicates a change was required to activate the interface; thus changes are pending. A response of false indicates the interface was already active, and thus no changes are pending.
