Bug ID 2440609: BIG-IQ DNS configuration import fails if GTM server names contain a colon.

Last Modified: Sep 10, 2026

Affected Product(s):
BIG-IQ DNS(all modules)

Known Affected Versions:
8.4.0, 8.4.1, 8.4.2, 8.4.2.1, 8.4.2.2

Opened: Jul 23, 2026

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

When importing DNS/GTM configuration from BIG-IP, BIG-IQ may report that a DNS pool member references a nonexistent object. This issue can arise when the configuration uses the two-backslash workaround associated with ID722682 and the GTM server name contains a colon.

Impact

The BIG-IQ administrator is unable to successfully import the affected DNS/GTM configuration due to a validation failure, which prevents proper management of the associated GTM devices and their configuration.

Conditions

- BIG-IQ Configuration Manager version 8.4.1. - DNS/GTM configuration is being imported from BIG-IP into BIG-IQ. - A GTM server name includes a colon. - An associated DNS pool member uses the two-backslash workaround related to ID722682.
