Bug ID 770109: The daily-hour-end field for a network firewall schedule is different when deployed from BIG-IQ

Last Modified: Jul 12, 2023

Affected Product(s):
BIG-IQ Network Security (AFM)(all modules)

Known Affected Versions:
6.0.1, 6.0.1.1, 6.0.1.2

Opened: Apr 07, 2019

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

If you set a new rule schedule for a BIG-IP device from BIG-IQ with the All Day selected for the Time Range, the rule incorrectly schedules the rule from 00:00 to 23:59 instead of from 00:00 to 24:00.

Impact

This prompts an automatic deployment at 23:59 that disables the rule. When the second deployment happens, it should re-activate the rule at 00:00, but this often does not happen because the deployment can take up to 6-7 minutes. This causes the rule to be deactivated.

Conditions

This happens when a rule is scheduled with the Time Range of All Day.

Workaround

To work around this issue, reconfigure the rule directly on the BIG-IP device.

Fix Information
