    try 

    load sys config merge verify file /var/tmp/test_vlan

    load sys config verify file /file
    is probably expecting to verify an entire configuration in a file, not merge a config snippet with what is currently running

i can't seem to edit my original answer: you can see in the list of files returned from the "load sys config verify.." command that /config/bigip_base.conf and /config/bigip.conf are not present - the F5 isn't taking those configurations into account when verifying your specific config snippet. merge is meant to merge config snippets - either pasted into the cli or contained in a file - with the rest of the configuration. word of warning though, merge will clobber existing configuration that has the same object name. if i'm using merge to create "ltm virtual www.mycompany.com_vs" and www.mycompany.com_vs already exists on the LTM, goodbye old www.mycompany.com_vs. it's great if you planned it that way, but very bad if you're stuck wondering where your prod vs went.
