Upgrade to v11.6.0 can fail with the following error message: 01070712:3: The value (-1) is outside the acceptable value set [value equal to or less than 600000] for time_wait_timeout in type TCP Profile for item <tcp_profile_name> Unexpected Error: Loading configuration process failed.
Upgrade to v11.6.0 fails and leaves device in INOPERATIVE state.
A tcp profile exists with tcp_long_timeout equal to 4294967295 (indefinite).
Change tcp_long_timeout prior to upgrade to a value in the range from 0 to 600000 inclusive OR, if already upgraded, edit bigip.conf to set tcp_long_timeout to a value in the range from 0 to 600000 inclusive and run "tmsh load sys config".
BIG-IP configurations now load successfully after an upgrade if the TCP profile's Time Wait value is set to 4294967295
