Route domain / partition problem

If you're working on .conf files , make sure that you're editing the partition where the Routing Domain is configured.

load sys config command parses all text configuration files in all partitions, so my main suspect will be that there might be an object configured in the wrong partition referencing a Routing Domain ID that it cannot see.

If the RD is in a partition, remember that objects in /Common/ can't see it, so if you edited /Common/ partition bigip_base.conf file to insert a self-ip referencing RD 66 it will show a similar error.

Check it like this:

grep -i %66 /config/bigip*.conf

Also, remember that Partition specific configuration files are in /config/partitions/<name>/bigip*.conf , again I would check those too.

If you need to quickly un-do .conf file edits, you can just run a "tmsh save sys config" that will overwrite .conf files.

Also, when wirking directly on .conf files, I'd recommend creating a .bkp copy before making any edit

Hope this helps

Hi CA,

Thanks for the reply. We managed to separate another route domain along those lines. This particular one stubbornly refused to separate, and in the end we removed it from the config, and rebuilt it more or less from scratch. The rebuilding was initially done in the UI while checking the config files each time we added something. One thing that we noticed was that when creating a vlan in the new route-domain, in the UI it showed as being part of the route-domain, whereas in the config files, it showed as /Common/VLANxyz in /config/bigip_base.conf rather than in the bigip_base.conf in the route domain's directory. Removing the vlan from the Common route domain and adding it to the correct route domain in the config files, and then loading the changed config files from tmsh solved that issue. Once we had the vlans in the correct route domain, we encountered no more problems then typos :-)

Thanks again,

Arjan H
