Opened: Mar 25, 2020

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

While loading configuration from the file with IMISH ('imish -f <f_name>'), the newline character gets copied at the end of each line which causes problems with commands containing regex expressions. In particular, this affects the bigip_imish_config Ansible module.

Impact

Regex expressions are not created properly.

Conditions

Loading a config with 'imish -f <f_name>' commands. Note: This command is used with the bigip_imish_config Ansible module.

Workaround

You can use either of the following workarounds: -- Delete and re-add the offending commands using the imish interactive shell. -- Restart tmrouted: bigstart restart tmrouted
