Opened: Jun 17, 2015

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

After a resource for an App Tunnel is added with a port range in a comma-separated list, instead of a dash-separated list, the modify action on the resource from the Admin UI will show errors. When a port-range is provided using Admin UI for the resource, it does not allow the user to introduce a comma-separated list. This problem only occurs when a user uses tmsh to introduce a comma-separated port range for the App Tunnel resource and then tries to modify it using the Admin UI.

Impact

The issue with modify operation for the comma-separated port-range is only seen through Admin UI; the user can still modify the comma-separated port range resource using tmsh.

Conditions

An example of a tmsh command that introduces the comma-separated port-range list after which the issue crops up on the Admin UI modify operation on that resource: (cfg-sync Standalone)(Active)(/Common)(tmos.apm.resource.app-tunnel)# modify putty { apps add { item1 { host 1.2.3.4 port-range 443,80,22,389 log packet }}} (cfg-sync Standalone)(Active)(/Common)(tmos.apm.resource.app-tunnel)# list putty apm resource app-tunnel putty { acl-order 108 apps { item1 { host 1.2.3.4 log packet order 0 port-range 443,80,22,389 } } customization-group putty_resource_app_tunnel_customization }

Workaround

Use tmsh to modify the resource.
