Affected Product(s):
BIG-IP Install/Upgrade, TMOS
Known Affected Versions:
13.0.0, 13.0.0 HF1, 13.0.0 HF2, 13.0.0 HF3, 13.0.1
Fixed In:
14.0.0, 13.1.0
Opened: Feb 08, 2017 Severity: 3-Major
If there are invalid entries in the SNMP allowed-address field, or in the SNMP communities source field, upgrade to v13.0.0 fails to load the configuration on validation of the input, with this error signature: 01070911:3: The requested host (<host-ip-address>) is invalid for allow in snmpd (/Common/snmpd), Unexpected Error: Loading configuration process failed.
Upgrade to 13.0.0 fails if the configuration contains these invalid values, due to input validation that was added in this version.
This can happen when upgrading from a release older than 13.0.0, and there is an invalid entry in the SNMP allowed-address field or communities source field, such as: sys snmp { allowed-address { 1.0.0.0/2.0.0.0 "1.1.1.1 2.2.2.2" 3.3.3.3,4.4.4.4 } communities { /Common/test { community-name test source 1.0.0.0/foo } } }
Remove the invalid entries from these 2 field types before doing an upgrade to 13.0.0.
The fix removes the invalid entries from the configuration on upgrade automatically.
