Hi

 

 

If you want your bigip.conf to list Port Numbers instead of the Service Name:

 

 

Globally configuring the BIG-IP system to not translate service and protocol numbers to names when storing configuration objects in the bigip.conf file

 

 

Log in to the BIG-IP command line.

 

Type the following command:

 

 

bigpipe cli service number

 

 

Note: The service option is incorrectly described in the bigpipe cli man page. For more information, refer to SOL11301: Documentation Erratum: The bigpipe cli man page provides incorrect information for the service option.

 

Save the configuration by typing the following command:

 

 

bigpipe save

 

 

Note: The bigip.conf file is now saved using service and protocol numbers rather than names.

 

 

 

This is from SOL12251: Missing or ambiguous entries in the /etc/protocols or /etc/services files may cause configuration errors

 

 

Hope this helps.
