Bug ID 2262381: Connection limit prompt is always displayed for the show sys connection command

Last Modified: Sep 02, 2026

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

Fixed In:
21.1.0.2, 17.5.1.9, 17.1.3.5

Opened: Apr 06, 2026

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

When executing the show sys connection command, a yes/no prompt is always displayed for the max number of prompts, even if there are only a small number of connections.

Impact

By default, the user is presented with a prompt that asks if they want to see 1000 connections. This is not the expected behavior if there are only a small number of connections.

Conditions

Using the TMSH show sys connection command will result in a yes/no prompt.

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

The user will now be prompted only when the connections are equal to or more than the max-result-limit value. The default value of max-result-limit is 1000.
