Bug ID 464690: Config does not load when message-routing is configured

Last Modified: Jan 07, 2026

Affected Product(s):
BIG-IP Install/Upgrade, LTM(all modules)

Fixed In:
11.6.0

Opened: May 28, 2014

Severity: 4-Minor

Symptoms

Config does not load when message-routing is configured.

Impact

Configuration does not load.

Conditions

LTM message-routing is configured. (This is an undisclosed feature available only in version 11.5.0.)

Workaround

In bigip.conf, remove the 'protocol' field from any message-routing peer or router objects.

Fix Information

Beginning in 11.6.0, the protocol field was intentionally removed. Attempting to load a configuration containing the configured in bigip.conf produces the following message: ERROR Problem: Field missing in new version. OldVer:com.f5.v11_5_0.mgmt. NewVer:com.f5.v11_6_0.mgmt.
