BIG-IP AFM(all modules)

Fixed In:

Opened: Dec 16, 2017

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

To change a Netflow profile that is attached to a virtual server, zero connections must be present on the virtual server.

Impact

Cannot modify Netflow profile.

Conditions

Attempting to change a Netflow profile that is attached to a virtual server.

Workaround

Either make sure that there are zero connections when modifying an attached Netflow profile, or detach the Netflow profile you wish to modify temporarily from all virtual servers that it is attached to. To make changes when the virtual server has active connections (ongoing stream of Netflow packets): 1. Change the Netflow profile in virtual server to none. 2. Change virtual server state to disabled (after this step, there will be 0 active connections for the virtual server). 3. Change Netflow profile in virtual server to new profile. 4. Change virtual server state to enabled.

Fix Information

The system now disallows modifications to Netflow virtual servers with non-zero connection counts.
