Change Generic System Type
You can transfer generic systems from being internal (part of a rack) to being external (separate from a rack), or vice versa, with a single transaction (new in Apstra version 5.0.0). You can change one generic system at a time, or you can change multiple generic systems simultaneously. Previously, to change the generic system type, you had to delete the generic system from the blueprint and re-add it as the other type.
To transfer a generic system from external to internal, all associated external links must be located within the same rack.
