Opened: Nov 27, 2018

Severity: 4-Minor

Symptoms

Issuing the command 'tmsh save sys config' results in a question when display threshold is set and when management routes are configured. There is no prompt when no management routes are configured. This question is posted only when management-routes are configured, and does not appear when other provisioning commands are issued and the config is saved.

Impact

When there are more items configured than the threshold, the system presents a question: Display all <number> items? (y/n) Scripts are stopped until the prompt is answered.

Conditions

1. Set the cli preference display-threshold to a smaller value than the default. 2. Create management routes. 3. Issue the following command: tmsh save sys config

Workaround

To prevent the question from popping up, set display threshold to 0 (zero). In the case of this script, you can also delete the management route definitions to prevent the question from being asked.

Fix Information

None
