Symptoms

Configuration load failes during upgrade and BIG-IQ discovery with following error in /config/bigip_base.conf: Syntax Error:(/config/bigip_base.conf at line: 619) "ip-protocol" unknown protocol "icmpv6".

Impact

Failure to load configuration during upgrade or discovery by BIG-IQ.

Conditions

From the GUI, configure Rule List :: Rule :: Protocol and select 'icmpv6' from list.

Workaround

Set the correct protocol attribute via tmsh: modify security firewall rule-list test rules modify { test { ip-protocol ipv6-icmp } }

Fix Information

The correct value is ipv6-icmp. This value is now set.
