Symptoms

The presence of base option indicates that only the base objects in the configuration should be considered for the save operation. The non-base objects in the configuration should be ignored. However, this is not true for the following command: tmsh load sys config merge file filename.scf base.

Impact

This command ignores the base option. When specified with the merge option the base option is ignored. It merges the non-base configuration objects. It does not load only the base config objects as specified in the command.

Conditions

Running the command: tmsh load sys config merge file filename.scf base.

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

tmsh load sys config merge file filename.scf base command now loads only the base config objects as specified in the command.
