Severity: 2-Critical

Symptoms

Cannot use Advanced Menu to create a virtual server for HTTP/2 on systems with DHD licenses. This occurs because the Acceleration section is not available. You can via TMSH then it works, but at as soon as you use the GUI to modify the virtual server, it loses the HTTP/2 configuration.

Impact

1) You are unable to use the GUI to modify any parameters of the Acceleration table in the virtual server page. 2) Loss of configuration items if making changes via the GUI.

Conditions

The Acceleration section is not visible in case 'DoS' is provisioned (available with the DHD license).

Workaround

A virtual server with parameters present in the Acceleration table can still be created using TMSH. However, do not edit that virtual server in the GUI, or the Acceleration parameters will be lost.

Fix Information

The Acceleration table is now visible, and there is no loss of configuration items if making changes via the GUI.
