Create IPv6 self-IP with Route Domains on 10.2.3

We need to create IPv6 self-IPs in a non-default Route Domain, but we are getting the following error:

The vlan () for the specified self IP () must be one of the vlans in the associated route domain (0).

Seems the internal F5 logic interpret this as an IP-address from Route Domain 0, although we are in a partition which is mapped to Route Domain 4 (doing this, you normally don't need to append the <%RD>). I verified this also on version 11.x and there it's not an issue.

So is this a bug in version 10.2.3 or do I need to use a special format? Or isn't this kind of setup supported in such an old version?

Thank you!

Ciao Stefan 🙂

    Hi,

    In version before 11.1.0, the Route domain IPv4 addresses are converted to IPv6 address with the following method: BIG-IP versions 10.1.0 through 11.0.0

    2620:0000:0C10:F501:0000:::

    In the 10.2.4 release note, there is the following limitation:

    ID 334330, CR117429The route domains feature does not support IPv6-formatted IP addresses in this version of the software

    Hi Stanislas,

     

    thank you for the hint with the release notes, it's the same for version 10.2.3 (so works as designed). So we have to perform a software update to a current version first, before proceeding with our project.

     

    Ciao Stefan :)
