Bug ID 1575549: BIG-IP Next Central Manager discovery requires an instance to have both Default L2-Network and Default L3-Network if either one already exists

Last Modified: Feb 11, 2025

Affected Product(s):
BIG_IP_NEXT(CM) TMOS(all modules)

Known Affected Versions:
20.2.0, 20.2.1

Opened: Apr 03, 2024

Severity: 4-Minor

Symptoms

Discovering an instance on BIG-IP Next Central Manager requires the instance only be discovered if it is configured with neither Default L2-Network or Default L3-Network, or has both of them, and Default L2-Network be under the Default L3-Network.

Impact

BIG-IP Next Central Manager cannot discover an instance if either one of "Default L2-Network" or "Default L3-Network" exist, but not both.

Conditions

A BIG-IP Next Central Manager user attempts to discover an instance they own. Before discovering this instance on BIG-IP Next Central Manager, the user configured it with an L2 Network named "Default L2-Network" and an L3 Network named something other than "Default L3-Network". When the user tries discovering the instance on CM, discovery failed noting that Default L2-Network was present, but no Default L3-Network.

Workaround

If a user configures an instance with an L2 Network named Default L2-Network, they should create an L3 network named Default L3-Network and have its L2 Network be the default L2. If neither exists, or both exist, and the Default L2 is under the Default L3, discovery succeeds.
