Fixed In:

Opened: Dec 21, 2018 Severity: 3-Major
Inconsistent validation for firewall address-list's nested address-lists causes load failure. The operation validates 'addresses' in the address-list but misses the case of modifying the address-list nested in the address-list. The system posts a message similar to the following: 01071a5a:3: Cannot configure mix of IPv4 and IPv6 address(es) in this object. Unexpected Error: Loading configuration process failed.
Missing validation for nested address-list modification allows an invalid configuration to be specified and saved into bigip*.conf, which causes load failure. Note: This might cause upgrade from v12.1.x to fail when the configuration contains a mix of IPv4 and IPv6 within an address-list.
-- Modify an address-list's address-lists to contain mixed IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. -- Save the configuration. -- Load the configuration.
Edit the bigip*.conf file to remove the mix of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses in the nested address-lists.
This release contains validation to nested address-lists to check for overlapping IP addresses in the same address family.
