Opened: Jun 17, 2025

Severity: 4-Minor

Symptoms

Management route names that include a forward slash (/) are displayed incorrectly when queried through the API, showing only the netmask instead of the full name. However, the route name displays correctly when viewed using tmsh.

Impact

This issue does not affect the operational functionality of the management route. However, administrative challenges may arise due to the API returning an incomplete route name.

Conditions

- A management route is created with a name that contains a forward slash (/), commonly seen when incorporating the network and subnet mask into the name, such as "10.10.10.0/24". Any other attempt to specify forward slash in the name will return a validation error. - When queried via API, the name is inaccurately truncated to display only the netmask rather than the full route name.

Workaround

To avoid this issue, refrain from using a forward slash (/) in the name when defining a management route.
