Opened: Apr 24, 2019
Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

The MIB variable sysInterfaceMediaActiveSpeed is reported correctly on the BIG-IP hardware systems. However, on BIG-IP Virtual Edition (VE) configurations, the values are incorrectly reported. It may be reported as a 10 or as a 0 (zero), both of which are incorrect.

Impact

This may be confusing when looking at the sysInterface information with SNMP.

Conditions

Querying the F5-BIGIP-SYSTEM-MIB::sysInterfaceMediaActiveSpeed variable on a VE-based BIG-IP running 12.x, or earlier, software.

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

None
