Opened: Mar 03, 2016 Severity: 3-Major
In BIG-IP v11.5.4, the behavior of the SNMP sysObjectID changed for VIPRION 2xxx-series platforms. On other BIG-IP 10.x and 11.x versions running on VIPRION 2xxx-series platforms, the SNMP sysObjectID reports the ID of the Chassis (BIG-IPVprC2400 or BIG-IPVprC2200). In BIG-IP v11.5.4 and v12.0.0 and later running on VIPRION 2xxx-series platforms, the SNMP sysObjectID reports the ID of the Blade (BIG-IPVprB2100, BIG-IPVprB2150, or BIG-IPVprB2250). In all versions of BIG-IP running on VIPRION 4xxx-series platforms, the SNMP sysObjectID reports the ID of the Blade (BIG-IPPb100, BIG-IPPb100n, BIG-IPPb200, BIG-IPPb200N, BIG-IPVprB4300 or BIG-IPVprB4300N). In BIG-IP v12.0.0 and later running on VIPRION 2xxx-series platforms, the BIG-IP design is changed such that the SNMP sysObjectID reports the ID of the Blade (BIG-IPVprB2100, BIG-IPVprB2150, or BIG-IPVprB2250), consistent with VIPRION 4xxx-series platforms. [See Solution article for ID 425331, when published.]
SNMP queries to identify VIPRION 2xxx-series platforms return the Blade ID instead of the Chassis ID, requiring changes in how the returned sysObjectID is interpreted.
VIPRION C2400 and C2200 chassis VIPRION B2100, B2150 and B2250 blades BIG-IP v11.5.4 (release)
Identify a VIPRION 2xxx-series platform by the appropriate Blade ID (BIG-IPVprB2100, BIG-IPVprB2150, or BIG-IPVprB2250), instead of by the Chassis ID (BIG-IPVprC2400 or BIG-IPVprC2200).
On VIPRION 2xxx-series platforms, the SNMP sysObjectID OID reports the ID of the Chassis, to match the behavior on VIPRION 2xxx-series platforms with previous BIG-IP versions 10.2.x and 11.x.
On VIPRION 2xxx-series platforms, the SNMP sysObjectID OID now reports the ID of the Chassis, to match the behavior on VIPRION 2xxx-series platforms with previous BIG-IP versions 10.2.x and 11.x. Previously, SNMP sysObjectID reported the ID of the Blade on VIPRION 2xxx-series platforms, to match the behavior on VIPRION 4xxx-series platforms.
