Symptoms

tmsh list at the top namespace or at module level or mode level generates unexpected [api-status-warning] messages. (tmos)# list << top namespace (tmos)# list ltm << ltm module (tmos)# list ltm profile << profile mode Each of the three illustrative examples generates unexpected [api-status-warning] messages at stderr and /var/log/ltm. The warnings are expected only at component level. The following example uses fastl4 as the component: (tmos)# list ltm profile fastl4 myfast [api-status-warning] ltm/profile/fastl4, properties : deprecated : software-syn-cookie <<— warning message; as expected ltm profile fastl4 myfast { app-service none software-syn-cookie enabled }

Impact

There is no impact to the system. The excessive [api-status-warning] at stderr and /var/log/ltm for tmsh list commands are spurious and can be ignored.

Conditions

This occurs when typing 'y' when being prompted to list all items: (tmos)# list Display all 155 items? (y/n) y [api-status-warning] ltm/profile/fastl4, properties : deprecated : software-syn-cookie <<< unexpected warnings These are displayed for several commands that give API warnings.

Workaround

The following tmsh command can be run to disable all deprecated API warnings: tmsh modify mgmt shared settings api-status log resource-property deprecatedApiAllowed false

Fix Information

[api-status-warning] messages will be generated at stderr and /var/log/ltm with tmsh list for the specific component.
