Opened: Jun 09, 2016

Severity: 4-Minor

Symptoms

In tmsh, when trying to add a pool member that has name in the format of <ipv4>:<number>:<service port>, tmsh reports the following error: Unexpected Error: Syntax Error: A port number or service name is missing for "/Common/192.0.2.1:80:80". Please specify a port number or service name using the syntax "/Common/192.0.2.1:80:80.<port>". It also corrupts bigip.conf so that it no longer loads.

Impact

TMSH fails to load system configuration file.

Conditions

-- Use tmsh to load configuration. -- LTM pools have members that have names in the format of: <ipv4>:<number>:<service port>.

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

TMSH now supports pool members with names in the format of <ipv4>:<number>:<service port>, so the valid pool member passes TMSH checks without error.
