Bug ID 2035045: [SWG] Discrepancy between GUI and CLI for URL-Filter custom category actions

Last Modified: Aug 25, 2025

Affected Product(s):
BIG-IP APM(all modules)

Known Affected Versions:
16.1.5, 16.1.5.1, 16.1.5.2, 16.1.6

Opened: Aug 20, 2025

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

GUI shows custom categories as explicitly Allowed (green) or Blocked (red). CLI (tmsh list apm url-filter …) does not list these categories under allowed-categories or blocked-categories. Results in inconsistent views between GUI and CLI for the same URL-Filter policy.

Impact

GUI and CLI show different filter actions, making it unclear what policy is enforced.

Conditions

-- A custom category is removed from allowed/blocked categories via CLI. - -A new custom category is created, the default is blocked but not explicitly added to allowed/blocked lists.

Workaround

Manually re-add categories to desired action via the GUI/CLI.

Fix Information

None
