Last Modified: Jul 11, 2024

Affected Product(s):
BIG-IP AFM(all modules)

Opened: Apr 02, 2024

Severity: 4-Minor

Symptoms

tmsh load sys config merge file <file_path> Post merge, the configuration AFM changes 'any' to 0.0.0.0 instead of 0.0.0.0/0 destination { addresses { any { } <<<< } While merging (tmsh load sys config merge file <file_path>) AFM changes to 0.0.0.0 instead of 0.0.0.0/0 destination { addresses { 0.0.0.0 { } <<<< }

Impact

Post merge the configuration of AFM changes 'any' to 0.0.0.0 instead of 0.0.0.0/0, resulting in flow failure. Since 0.0.0.0 is not treated the same as any IP.
