BIG-IQ Centralized Mgmt (5.x) - Scope of imported Module configuration

Dear Community,

 

does one know the scope of a imported Module configuration (e.g. LTM)? For traffic objects like SNAT pools or Virtual Servers, it only makes sense per DSC/Cluster, but I couldn't find the definite answer in the docs. Are objects imported e.g. /Common/cookie-default, /Common/clientssl-default or /Common/snat-default (created by us) scoped for a DSC/Cluster, or BIG-IQ wide?

 

Thanks in Advance.

 

Jens

    Wand - if objects are network or device specific then they may only be relevant to one particular cluster. However, it's not just about whether you can move the object (e.g. VIP) to another cluster, you need to import objects so you can manage them - even within the context of the original cluster i.e. if you want to amend an existing object it needs to be imported before it can be modified and re-deployed back to the original device(s).

     

    Hope this helps,
