Unable to mark node up or disabled, but can mark forced offline

I've been trying to play around with the Restful API to enable/disable/force offline nodes. I've been having great success forcing them offline, but can't disable or enable them.

This works and forces the node offline successfully:

 

curl -sk -u XXXXX:XXXX https://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/mgmt/tm/ltm/node/~Common~NODE/ -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PUT -d '{"state": "user-down", "session": "user-disabled"}'

 

These two do not work giving the same error message:

 


curl -sk -u XXXXX:XXXX https://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/mgmt/tm/ltm/node/~Common~NODE/ -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PUT -d '{"state": "unchecked", "session": "user-enabled"}'
curl -sk -u XXXXX:XXXX https://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/mgmt/tm/ltm/node/~Common~NODE/ -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PUT -d '{"state": "unchecked", "session": "user-disabled"}'

 

The message I get is this:

 

{"code":400,"message":"invalid property value \"state\":\"unchecked\"","errorStack":[]}

 

I'm running 11.5.1HF8, could this be a version issue or am I doing something wrong? It's just sort of odd that it works to force offline.
