Bug ID 572255: HA/DSC configuration requires communication on TCP port 443

Last Modified: Sep 13, 2023

Affected Product(s):
BIG-IP All(all modules)

Known Affected Versions:
12.0.0, 12.0.0 HF1, 12.1.0 HF1, 12.0.0 HF2, 12.1.0 HF2, 12.0.0 HF3, 12.0.0 HF4, 12.1.1 HF1, 12.1.1 HF2, 12.1.2 HF1, 12.1.2 HF2

Fixed In:
12.1.0

Opened: Feb 06, 2016

Severity: 2-Critical

Symptoms

The configuration of HA/DSC is done over an iControl connection between two BigIPs that is initiated by the devmgmtd daemon. The daemon is hard coded to use port 443 for this communication.

Impact

A device trust cannot be configured

Conditions

Devices that do not have connections over port 443

Workaround

N/A

Fix Information

With the fix to this bug there are two cases. If you change the httpd ssl-port while in a trust then the change is sync'ed to all devices in the trust. If you change this value on a standalone device and want to create a trust then, you must change the value on each target device first and then create the trust by adding each device.
