-- If a DNS object name (such as a Server or Link) contains a special character, the name may be truncated after the special character when displayed in the GUI. For example: DNS -> GSLB -> Server : - Select a server with name containing a special character (such as # or &). - Go to Devices, Virtual Servers or Links tab. - Click on the tab again or go to another tab. DNS -> GSLB -> Links : - Select a link with name containing special character (such as # or &). - Go to Servers or Virtual servers tab, click on the tab again or go to other tab. In such cases, the characters after the special character disappear in the Server and/or Link name. -- Certain DNS GUI operations may generate an error such as: "An error has occurred while trying to process your request." For example: DNS -> GSLB -> Pools -> Pool List : - Select a Pool - Go to Members tab - Click Manage
-- DNS object names display incorrectly and may not be selectable for subsequent operations in the GUI. -- You may not be able to manage DNS objects in certain contexts in the GUI.
-- The DNS object name may be displayed incorrectly if it contains a special character such as: # & -- An error can occur on BIG-IP versions prior to 15.0.0 that contain the fix for ID1045421 (such as Engineering Hotfixes on versions 14.1.x or 13.1.x with a fix for ID1045421).
Use the Command Line Interface (tmsh) to manage DNS objects.
