NimbostratusConfig copy from physical to virtual F5
Hi DevCentral Team,
We have two physical F5 load balancers in an Active, Standby setup running 10.2.3 Build 123 HF1. We also have a virtual F5 that we upgraded to the latest 10.2.3 Build 123 HF1...

NimbostratusThanks Nitass. I see that our backup is a .ucs file that is actually a compressed tar file. I tried to untar/gunzip it, and i can see the bigip_base.conf file has the following:
interface 1.1 {
media fixed 1000baseT full
disable
}
So, i removed that media fixed 1000baseT full settings from the physical F5 through the GUI (i set them to auto), backed up the ucs again, and then tried to import it on the virtual F5 again. However, still seeing that same error:
BIGpipe interface creation error:
01070318:3: The requested media for interface 1.1 is invalid.
Here's a snip from the bigip_base.conf for the physical F5:
mgmt 10.33.50.23 {
netmask 255.255.255.0
}
mgmt route default inet {
gateway 10.33.50.1
}
interface 1.1 {
disable
}
interface 1.2 {
disable
}
interface 1.3 {
disable
}
interface 1.4 {
disable
}
interface 1.5 {
disable
}
interface 1.6 {
disable
}
interface 1.7 {
disable
}
interface 1.8 {
disable
}
interface 2.2 {
disable
}
interface mgmt {
media fixed 100baseTX full
}
stp instance 0 {
Here's a snip from the virtual F5 bigip_base.conf file:
mgmt 10.33.50.222 {
netmask 255.255.255.0
}
mgmt route default inet {
gateway 10.33.50.1
}
interface 1.1 {
}
interface 1.2 {
}
interface 1.3 {
}
stp {
config name none
}
stp instance 0 {
