Editing bigip.conf

Hi,

 

I've just wanted to rename some of my VIP's and i did it by editing bigip.conf

 

after that i've verified it and loaded.

 

After doing so, the routing domain disabled the imish/zebos and BGP/IS-IS we're gone.

 

Why is that ?

 

I've came across this earlier while doing upgrade from 12.0 to 12.1

 

Will any change cause my routing to fall ?

  • i think you may experience this bug. can you open a support case to verify?

     

     

    Bug 356307 - RD: we are no longer (always) saving route domain 0 to bigip_base.conf
  • I can't find info on this bug, can you please post it here ?

     

    Also, i have strange issue, every reload or change my IPv6 BGP peers are gone

     

    i mean, removed from config.

     

    I need to re-add them under address-family ipv6 - activate
  • can you see route domain 0 setting in /config/bigip_base.conf file?
  • To be honest, I can't find it anywhere.

     

    I see net and sys config at bigip_base.conf but nothing regarding route-domain there.

     

    This is the bug mantioned ?

     

  • route-domain and dynamic routing must to be saved in bigip_base.conf.

    e.g.

    [root@ve11a:Active:Changes Pending] config  tmsh list net route-domain 0
    net route-domain 0 {
        description "Default Route Domain"
        id 0
        routing-protocol {
            OSPFv2
        }
        vlans {
            external
            internal
        }
    }
    [root@ve11a:Active:Changes Pending] config  grep -A10 route-domain bigip_base.conf
    net route-domain /Common/0 {
        description "Default Route Domain"
        id 0
        routing-protocol {
            OSPFv2
        }
        vlans {
            /Common/external
            /Common/internal
        }
    }
    
    

    if it is not there, you may experience bug 356307. it is found in 11.1.0, 11.2.0 and 11.2.1. the following is workaround by Hiroki Inoue.

    workaround is to use tmsh to save or modify/disable strict routing in route-domain 0 and save, and enable strict routing and save, then dynamic routing will be saved.
  • That's great, now i have it in bigip_base.conf

     

    Should i open ticket to let F5 know or its already being processed ?
  • Should i open ticket to let F5 know or its already being processed ?it is in process but no hotfix is available yet. opening a support case will help support team to track number of customers who have experienced that issue and may expedite the process.
