Bug ID 830337: VLAN objects for BIG-IP devices in a high availability configuration

Last Modified: Sep 13, 2023

Affected Product(s):
BIG-IQ ADC(all modules)

Fixed In:
7.1.0, 7.0.0.1

Opened: Sep 23, 2019

Severity: 4-Minor

Symptoms

BIG-IQ treats VLAN objects for BIG-IP devices that belong to clusters as if they both have the same configuration. When BIG-IQ imports BIG-IP devices, it replaces the existing VLAN object with the one from the newly-imported BIG-IP device. Therefore, if you try to do a full deployment, BIG-IQ returns a message that it must modify the configuration of the VLAN

Impact

When BIG-IQ deploys to BIG-IP devices in a cluster, it breaks the VLAN object because it overwrites the VLAN object.

Conditions

When BIQ-IQ is managing BIG-IP cluster pairs. Both BIG-IP devices have VLAN objects and their configurations are different.

Workaround

Manually fix the VLAN object on BIG-IP every time you make a deployment to BIG-IP devices in a cluster.

Fix Information

VLAN objects are now treated as a BIG-IP device-specific object.
