How can I create InternetGatewayDevice.WANDevice.2 when InternetGatewayDevice.WANDevice.1.WANConnectionDevice.3 already exists? When I try to create it, InternetGatewayDevice.WANDevice.4 is created instead. I should not delete InternetGatewayDevice.WANDevice.1.WANConnectionDevice.3, as deleting it will disconnect my network.
Adding an instance doesn’t delete an instance. If one is being deleted, then you either have a provision script which is deleting the instance, or your CPE is deleting the instance.
Instance IDs are not guaranteed, the spec leaves numbering up to manufacturers.
Thank you for your response. However, I believe there is a misunderstanding.
This is not an automatic deletion issue. Let me explain.
For example, I currently have index 3 (assume it is DHCP: InternetGatewayDevice.WANDevice.1.WANConnectionDevice.3).
There are no index 1 or 2 present. However, I want to create index 2.
When I try to create the object, it automatically creates index 4 instead.
But my requirement is to create index 2.
How can I resolve this without deleting the existing index 3 object?
The existing provision is only used to refresh data.
There are no provision scripts that assign or delete any objects.
Instance IDs are not guaranteed, the spec leaves numbering up to manufacturers.

I guess my question would be: why do you want it to be at index 2? What’s wrong with 4?
Absolutely correct - we can use index 4. I’m new to GenieACS, so at first I thought the VLAN interface IDs were static. I understood the concept only later.
Thank you so much for all the responses.
