Opened: Mar 19, 2024 Severity: 3-Major
A few category names and descriptions have been updated from Forcepoint, and incorporating those changes in BIG-IP 15.1.10 triggered this upgrade failure.
After the upgrade, the configuration fails to load with one or more "In url-filter" errors. Following is an example: 01070734:3: Configuration error: In url-filter {}...
Upgrade from the BIG-IP version where the latest category names were not present to the version where they exist with some additional configuration will fail the BIG-IP upgrade.
No workaround. Remove the affected category names before attempting the BIG-IP upgrade.
Code exists to map older categories with new categories when upgrading in versions prior to BIG-IP 13.x. The same code will be fixed to correctly map categories when upgrading for versions BIG-IP 15.x and later.
