Opened: May 30, 2019

Severity: 4-Minor

Symptoms

A configuration warning is produced when the RADIUS avp command is used with a variable instead of a constant, for example: warning: [The following errors were not caught before. Please correct the script in order to avoid future disruption. "unexpected end of arguments;expected argument spec:integer"102 45][RADIUS::avp replace USER-NAME $custom_name] This appears to be benign, as the configuration loads successfully, and the script works as expected.

Impact

Incorrect warning in log. You can ignore these messages, as the configuration loads successfully, and the script works as expected.

Conditions

Using: RADIUS::avp replace USER-NAME $custom_name Instead of: RADIUS::avp replace USER-NAME "static value"

Workaround

This warning is benign, as the configuration loads successfully, and script works as expected.
