Last Modified: Jul 12, 2023

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

Known Affected Versions:
11.4.1

Opened: Apr 06, 2015

Severity: 2-Critical

Symptoms

The client and server SSL profiles will not be available. In TMSH, the following two commands will return an empty result. tmsh list ltm profile client-ssl tmsh list ltm profile server-ssl The problem also manifests itself on configuration load, with an error similar to the following. [root@MKT-EXT-APM:ModuleNotLicensed:Active:Standalone] config # tmsh load sys config Loading system configuration... /defaults/asm_base.conf /defaults/config_base.conf /defaults/low_profile_base.conf /defaults/policy_base.conf /defaults/wam_base.conf /defaults/analytics_base.conf /defaults/apm_saml_base.conf /defaults/app_template_base.conf /defaults/classification_base.conf /defaults/daemon.conf /defaults/fullarmor_gpo_base.conf /defaults/profile_base.conf /defaults/sandbox_base.conf /defaults/security_base.conf /usr/share/monitors/base_monitors.conf Loading configuration... /config/bigip_base.conf /config/bigip_user.conf /config/bigip.conf /config/bigip_script.conf 01070356:3: SSL feature not licensed. Unexpected Error: Loading configuration process failed. [root@MKT-EXT-APM:ModuleNotLicensed:Active:Standalone]

Impact

BIG-IP configuration file will not load, or when it does load the SSL TPS rates will be incorrect (lower than platform specification).
