Symptoms

LTM monitor configuration may fail to reload from disk if the monitor name occurs alphabetically prior to the inherited-from monitor.

Impact

Configuration from disk fails to load. System posts an error message similar to the following: 1070045:3: Monitor /Common/test1 type cannot have transparent attribute. Unexpected Error: Loading configuration process failed.

Conditions

Monitor A inheriting from Monitor B, where both monitors are of type 'transparent'.

Workaround

Rename monitors so they occur in the required alphabetical order to support inheritance.

Fix Information

Transparent inherited TCP monitors no longer fail on loading configuration.
