If an IPv6 management-ip is configured when an .iso is live-installed, the configuration in the new image will have an incorrect netmask for the IPv6 management IP. Note: This is true only for IPv6 management-IP configurations; IPv4 management-ip configurations work as expected.
IPv6 management IP config is not correctly preserved through an .iso install. Configuration load fails.
-- On any appliance (i.e., not blades in a cluster). -- IPv6 management IP only.
Edit the /config/bigip_base.conf file and remove the extraneous netmask, and then load the config by running the command: tmsh load sys config. To do so, follow these steps: 1. Edit /config/bigip_base.conf: -- Change this: sys management-ip <IPv6_IP_address>/64/ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff::{} -- To this: sys management-ip <IPv6_IP_address>/64{} 2. If an IPv6 default-inet6 route is configured, that configuration also must be edited in /config/bigip_base.conf: -- Change this: sys management-route default { gateway <V6_gateway_IP_address> network default } -- To this: sys management-route default-inet6 { gateway <V6_gateway_IP_address> network default-inet6 } 3. After making and saving the changes, run the following command: tmsh load sys config
