GTM objects display ^K characters, cannot be assigned to other objects When editing bigip_gtm.conf using the CLI, it is possible to use some characters in server, virtual server, and pool names. These characters can be saved to the config as a space or as a special character. Characters include ^K ^B, ^N, ^L.
1. Config is not displayed properly. 2. Odd problems happen when object has such names, for example, it fails to add virtual server to a server with such names, in 11.5.1 and 11.4.1 virtual servers cannot be assigned to pools, pools to wideips etc.
Editing bigip_gtm.conf using CLI.
Do not use such characters (CTRL+) for objects.
