Symptoms

tmsh does not validate QinQ tag-mode and allows invalid values to be set.

Impact

Although you can set !in! tag-mode, the configuration has no effect. There is no negative impact on system functionality.

Conditions

This occurs when trying to set QinQ tag-mode to values other than 'none' on unsupported platforms. Only platforms with ePVA support QinQ tagging.

Workaround

Only configure QinQ tag-mode on the following platforms: BIG-IP 5050s/5250v/7050s/7250v/10050s/10250v and VIPRION B2150 SSD-based models.

Fix Information

QinQ tag-mode is now properly validated when configuring a VLAN via tmsh.
