Bug ID 1080405: Tenant management IP addresses are not validated against other IPs in use by the system

Last Modified: May 17, 2023

Affected Product(s):
F5OS Velos(all modules)

Known Affected Versions:
F5OS-C 1.3.0, F5OS-C 1.3.1, F5OS-C 1.3.2

Opened: Feb 11, 2022

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

Tenant management IP addresses are not validated against other IP addresses in use by the system. This means that a user may configure a tenant management IP that is used elsewhere in the system and/or network causing a duplicate address. It is expected that the user is managing the IP allocation on their management network, and will not configure duplicates.

Impact

This will cause issues accessing the tenant via the management IP if a duplicate is configured, as well as causing issues accessing the component/interface already using the address.

Conditions

The user configures a tenant with a management IP that is already used by another tenant or interface in the system.

Workaround

The workaround is to configure the management IP of the tenant to be an address that is not already in use.

Fix Information

None
