TCP iApp template

Problem this snippet solves:

Use this TCP iApp template to configure high availability and optimization for TCP implementations.

As of 3/29/17, this release is now available on downloads.f5.com in the Release-Candidates folder of the TCP directory.

RC4

RC4 fixes an issue where the iApp would fail if using a non-default Route Domain.

RC3

RC3 contains updates for new BIG-IP AFM IP Intelligence threat categories to support BIG-IP v13.1, and adds support for route domain 0 from non-Common partitions.

RC2

RC2 of the iApp template solves an issue where the iApp deployment fails when a system management route is not present.

RC1

This initial release of the iApp is available on downloads.f5.com in the RELEASE-CANDIDATE directory.

Until the associated deployment guide is available, for detailed information and configuration assistance see the inline help.

  4. Click the Import button on the right side of the screen.
  5. Click a check in the Overwrite Existing Templates box.

    so yes, sorry, I did logon w/ the local 'admin' user and had the same issue.

     

    should I re-upload the template as that user?

     

    Actually I tried on my dev box, which doesn't have the LDAP remote group defined, so I had to be as the local admin user and had the same result.

    Can you get a fresh copy of the iApp package from and load the template from the RELEASE_CANDIDATES folder, then try it again?

    OK, I had downloaded it earlier this week, and it looks to be the same one, but I did go w/ west coast this time, thinking maybe that download local was cooler since they have better weather :)

     

    Same results, uploaded and tried to configure as local admin user.

    Check with the support engineer for your case. I gave him a custom version of the iApp template without the procedure that is causing the problem.

    Can we all get a copy of that template? The checking for AWS makes it impossible for us to use.

    Sure, but would you be willing to upload a qkview to https://ihealth.f5.com (and send me the link in a PM)? Would like to compare configurations since we I have not been able to reproduce this yet.

    Hi Montaser, please open a ticket with F5 support and reply here with the ticket number so I can track the issue. We have not been able to reproduce the problem, so we will need to see your configuration before we can address it. Mike
