Fixed In:

Opened: Jul 02, 2018

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

If the management interface is configured to be on a different interface than eth0, ASM fails to start.

Impact

ASM fails to start.

Conditions

-- Running BIG-IP Virtual Edition (VE). -- The management interface is configured to be on a different interface than eth0. -- The config file (/etc/ts/common/image.cfg) does not reflect that change.

Workaround

Modify the config file (/etc/ts/common/image.cfg) to match the non-default interface (e.g., eth1 instead of eth0).

Fix Information

The management interface is now discovered dynamically during startup.
