I can guess by the error message that the logical network 'rhevhost' is vlan,
so the proper interface should be the vlan device.

This is the 3.0 api which required the host to be in maintenance for network
operations on the host. You could use setup networks instead which is the
recommended api and doesn't require the host to be in maintenance.

you can modify the example from [1] and set null for the network name you
wish to detach from the specific interface.

Try by replacing only lines 28-41 with:
HostNIC nic = nicsByNames.get("eth1.1345");
nic.setNetwork(null);
