When upgrading to an affected version, if a NAT has a name with spaces in it, the upgraded configuration does not load.
The configuration does not load on the upgraded system.
The BIG-IP system must be configured with NATs that have spaces in their names. When an upgrade is performed to 11.5.0 through 11.5.3 or to 11.6.0 this can be triggered.
Remove spaces in NAT names before upgrading. Specifically: the initial letter must be a letter, underscore ( _ ), or forward slash ( / ), and subsequent characters may be letters, numbers, periods ( . ), hyphens ( - ), underscores ( _ ), or forward slashes ( / ).
NAT names with spaces in them now upgrade properly.
