MVPHi
I upgraded OS version 11.6.1 > 15.1.6.1
but I found some different configuration
For virtual addresses with arp disabled, the spanning option is enabled.
is it bug ? 11.6.1 version has no span option on virtual address
is it need disabled the this option?
thank you
Hi neeeewbie ,
If spanning option is not enable environments that require spanning do not process traffic.
Starting from BIG-IP 12.1.0 , when you upgrade your system from BIG-IP 10.x to BIG-IP 12.1.0 or later when you have a virtual address with address resolution protocol (ARP) disabled and spanning feature got enable.
Prior to upgrading, the virtual address is configured with ARP disabled.
After you upgrade to 15.1.6.1, the virtual server address is still configured with ARP disabled;
However the virtual server address now have the required Spanning option enabled.
You can manually modify the virtual server address to enable/disable spanning.
To manually enable/disable spanning, perform the following procedure:
1. Log in to the Configuration utility.
2. Navigate to Local Traffic > Virtual Servers > Virtual Address List.
3. Click the affected virtual server address.
4. Under Configuration, select/unselect the Spanning check box to enable/disable spanning.
5. Click Update.
MVPHi
thank you !
There is no span option in version 11
So, does span operation not work in version 11?
Hey neeeewbie, FYI in case F5_Design_Engineer isn't able to answer the version question, I'll ask a teammate to take a look.
MVPThank you
I checked the documentation related to this situation.
This article explains that enabling the spans option is an expected feature after upgrade.
However, the 11.x version does not have the span option.
I wonder if the 11.x version handles the SPAN feature.
can you confirm this?
