      <title>vCMP to rSeries Config comperision</title>
      <link>https://community.f5.com/t5/technical-forum/vcmp-to-rseries-config-comperision/m-p/347488#M289662</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;We procured the rSeries some time ago, and I built it using the UCS files from the vCMP guests. However, I was unable to make it live on the network. During this time, several changes have been made to the vCMP guests. I am now planning to bring the rSeries into production and decommission the vCMP appliances, but I am not sure what changes have been made on the vCMP guests since the initial build. Is there a way to identify those changes and apply them to the rSeries appliances? I would prefer not to rebuild the rSeries appliances from scratch.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Any suggestion would be appreciated.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks,&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>LTM Health Monitor Issue</title>
      <link>https://community.f5.com/t5/technical-forum/ltm-health-monitor-issue/m-p/347487#M289661</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;There is a pool which has three members but two of them are not coming up with any of the health monitor. I tried, gateway ICMP, TC-half open, content monitoring almost everything. However, one member of the same pool is working fine.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I would appreciate any suggestion.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Nilesj&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>Disabling VIP Versus Disabling Individual settings on VIP</title>
      <link>https://community.f5.com/t5/technical-forum/disabling-vip-versus-disabling-individual-settings-on-vip/m-p/347484#M289658</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;Does disabling the VIP disable all the related settings, for example ARP ? Meaning, if the VIP is disabled will the arping for the VIP stop and get removed from the ARP table ?&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;I am NOT referring to disabling the Virtual service. I specifically mean the VIP(Virtual IP Address).&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>F5 BIG-IP Advanced WAF Troubleshooting: What I Check First</title>
      <link>https://community.f5.com/t5/technical-forum/f5-big-ip-advanced-waf-troubleshooting-what-i-check-first/m-p/347483#M289657</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;When an application protected by &lt;STRONG&gt;F5 BIG-IP Advanced WAF / ASM&lt;/STRONG&gt; starts failing, I try not to change the security policy immediately.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Before disabling signatures, creating exceptions, or switching the policy to Transparent mode, I first ask:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Where exactly is the request failing?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;H2&gt;1. Validate LTM first&lt;/H2&gt;&lt;P&gt;Before blaming the WAF, confirm that the application delivery path is healthy.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;tmsh show ltm virtual &amp;lt;virtual_server&amp;gt; tmsh show ltm pool &amp;lt;pool_name&amp;gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Check:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Virtual Server status&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Pool and pool members&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Health monitors&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Backend connectivity&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;P&gt;If the pool is unavailable, the problem is probably not Advanced WAF.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Client | Virtual Server | Advanced WAF | Pool | Application&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The objective is to determine whether the failure happens &lt;STRONG&gt;before, during, or after WAF inspection&lt;/STRONG&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;H2&gt;2. Confirm that Advanced WAF actually blocked the request&lt;/H2&gt;&lt;P&gt;Check:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Security &amp;gt; Event Logs &amp;gt; Application &amp;gt; Requests&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If the user receives a blocking page, capture the &lt;STRONG&gt;Support ID&lt;/STRONG&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Correlate:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Timestamp&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Client IP&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;URL&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;HTTP method&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Violation&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Attack signature&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Security policy&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Support ID&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;P&gt;An application error does not automatically mean that Advanced WAF blocked the request.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Also remember that missing events do not necessarily mean traffic bypassed the WAF. Verify the configured &lt;STRONG&gt;logging profile&lt;/STRONG&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;H2&gt;3. Check the enforcement state&lt;/H2&gt;&lt;P&gt;A detected violation is not necessarily a blocked request.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Verify:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Transparent vs Blocking&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Learn&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Alarm&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Block&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Signature/entity &lt;STRONG&gt;staging&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;P&gt;A policy in Blocking mode does not mean every detected violation will block traffic.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;H2&gt;4. Identify the exact violation&lt;/H2&gt;&lt;P&gt;Before disabling anything, understand exactly what triggered the policy.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Examples:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Attack Signature Detected&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Illegal parameter&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Illegal URL&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;HTTP protocol violation&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;JSON/XML parsing violation&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Disallowed method&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;CSRF&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;DataGuard&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;P&gt;Then identify the affected entity:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Signature ↓ URL ↓ Parameter / Header / Cookie / JSON element ↓ Matched value&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This is critical for proper WAF tuning.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;H2&gt;5. Tune the smallest possible scope&lt;/H2&gt;&lt;P&gt;Suppose a legitimate parameter triggers a SQL injection signature.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Do not immediately disable that signature globally.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Instead determine:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Signature ↓ Affected URL ↓ Affected parameter ↓ Expected application behavior ↓ True positive or false positive? ↓ Granular exception, if justified&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;My rule is simple:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Change the smallest possible security scope.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;H2&gt;6. If there is no WAF event, validate the traffic path&lt;/H2&gt;&lt;P&gt;Check whether:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;The request reaches the expected Virtual Server&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;The correct security policy is assigned&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;The HTTP profile is present&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;An LTM policy changes processing&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;An iRule redirects or modifies traffic&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;SSL terminates where expected&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Traffic reaches another VIP&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;P&gt;Packet capture can quickly confirm the flow:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;tcpdump -nni 0.0:nnn -s0 host &amp;lt;client_or_server_ip&amp;gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;H2&gt;7. Correlate logs&lt;/H2&gt;&lt;P&gt;Useful starting points:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;tail -f /var/log/asm tail -f /var/log/ltm&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Do not troubleshoot using one log line.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Correlate:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Timestamp + Client + Virtual Server + Support ID + WAF Event + LTM behavior + Backend response&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;H2&gt;8. Do not blame WAF for every HTTP error&lt;/H2&gt;&lt;P&gt;For example:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;404&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Check URI, redirects and application routing.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;500&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Investigate the application/backend.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;502 / 503 / 504&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Check pool members, health monitors, TCP connectivity, server-side SSL and timeouts.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The fact that Advanced WAF is enabled does not mean it generated the error.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;H2&gt;9. Remember TLS&lt;/H2&gt;&lt;P&gt;TLS failures can look like WAF problems.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Check:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Client SSL profile&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Server SSL profile&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Certificates&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;SNI&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;TLS versions&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Cipher negotiation&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Backend TLS handshake&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;P&gt;If TLS fails before HTTP inspection, you are troubleshooting a different layer.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;H2&gt;My Quick Workflow&lt;/H2&gt;&lt;P&gt;Reproduce the issue ↓ Validate Virtual Server ↓ Validate Pool / Backend ↓ Confirm traffic path ↓ Find WAF event / Support ID ↓ Identify violation or signature ↓ Check enforcement and staging ↓ Identify affected entity ↓ True positive or false positive? ↓ Apply the smallest justified change ↓ Retest&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The main principle is:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Do not troubleshoot a WAF by disabling security controls until the application starts working.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Correlate:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Traffic path + policy + enforcement + violation + entity + logs + application behavior&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;That is the difference between &lt;STRONG&gt;proper WAF tuning&lt;/STRONG&gt; and simply &lt;STRONG&gt;weakening the policy&lt;/STRONG&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;What do you normally check during the first few minutes of an Advanced WAF incident?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Essa é a faixa de tamanho que eu usaria no &lt;STRONG&gt;F5 DevCentral&lt;/STRONG&gt;: técnica, escaneável e sem parecer capítulo de manual.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Does anyone have actual information that can the Hardened Release software images be installed directly as standalone and they do not need the regular image installed first like engineering hotfixes needed in the past?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>New rSeries Tenant Gui slow</title>
      <link>https://community.f5.com/t5/technical-forum/new-rseries-tenant-gui-slow/m-p/347442#M289643</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;We have deployed a new Tenant on new r4000 series appliances and have have noticed that the gui is extremely slow and will timeout occasionally.&amp;nbsp; The Tenant has 8vCPU's and 32 GB of Ram, the dashboard shows everything is very low but switching from one gui section to another will result in the "Loading Retrieving ...." page for a bit.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have found articles that you can increase the memory that tomcat has but have not made any changes on that.&amp;nbsp; The resource provisioning is set to small which is the same as our existing vCMP devices on iSeries appliances.&amp;nbsp; At this point the new device has not been added to the device group/config sync so it doesn't have any of the VIPs/Pools/Health Monitors and is still running slow.&amp;nbsp; Anyone else experience this behavior?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Joe&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>In-Service Migration from iSeries to rSeries Using a Mixed-Platform HA Pair</title>
      <link>https://community.f5.com/t5/technical-forum/in-service-migration-from-iseries-to-rseries-using-a-mixed/m-p/347409#M289627</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello everyone,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We are planning to migrate an existing pair of iSeries appliances running in an Active-Standby configuration to a new pair of rSeries appliances. The migration will be performed while the service is in production, with the goal of minimizing service interruption.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Until recently, we understood that F5 HA configurations required both devices to use the same hardware platform/model. However, while reviewing the relevant F5 documentation, we came across K8665, which indicates that HA can be configured between devices running on different hardware platforms.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K8665&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I would appreciate your advice and experience regarding the following questions.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;1. Are HA Capacity and HA Load Factor required for a two-device Active-Standby pair?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;All of our current production iSeries HA configurations consist of two devices in a Sync-Failover Device Group: one Active and one Standby.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;K8665 explains that BIG-IP supports redundant configurations between different hardware platforms and also discusses HA Capacity and HA Load Factor in relation to load-aware failover.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;In this temporary heterogeneous two-device Active-Standby configuration, do we need to configure HA Capacity and HA Load Factor simply because the two HA members are running on different hardware platforms?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;My understanding is that HA Capacity and HA Load Factor are not required simply to establish HA between different hardware platforms. Rather, they are used for load-aware failover, where BIG-IP evaluates the relative capacity of devices and the load of traffic groups when determining the most appropriate failover target.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Since our temporary migration HA pair will contain only two devices, there will be only one possible failover peer:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;iSeries (Active) --&amp;gt; rSeries (Standby)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Therefore, I assume that HA Capacity and HA Load Factor are not required for this migration scenario, even though the HA pair consists of different hardware platforms.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Is my understanding correct?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;2. Has anyone performed an iSeries-to-rSeries migration using a temporary mixed-platform HA pair?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We are considering the following migration procedure:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;1) Restore the UCS configuration from the existing two iSeries devices to the two new rSeries devices, taking the required platform-specific configuration differences into account.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2) Remove the existing iSeries-2 (Standby) device.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;3) On the existing iSeries-1 (Active) device, remove the old peer from the Sync-Failover Device Group and Device Trust.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;4) Connect the new rSeries-2 device to the L3 switch while keeping it Forced Offline.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;5) Re-establish Device Trust and the Sync-Failover Device Group between:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;* iSeries-1 (Active)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;* rSeries-2 (Standby)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;6) Release Forced Offline on rSeries-2 and verify ConfigSync, failover communication, VLANs, Self IPs, pools, virtual servers, and overall service status.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;7) Perform an HA failover from iSeries-1 --&amp;gt; rSeries-2.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;8) After confirming that services are operating normally on rSeries-2, replace the remaining iSeries-1 device using the same approach.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;9) Finally, establish the normal HA pair between the two rSeries devices.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Has anyone successfully performed an iSeries-to-rSeries migration using this type of temporary mixed-platform HA configuration?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;3. Are there any feature limitations with mixed-platform HA other than Connection Mirroring?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I understand that Connection Mirroring may have hardware-platform-related limitations when the HA peers are running on different platforms.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Other than Connection Mirroring, are there any known features or functions that are unsupported or restricted when temporarily running an iSeries and rSeries BIG-IP tenant as an Active-Standby HA pair?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We have already confirmed in a test environment that HA can be successfully established between an i2800 and an r2600 BIG-IP tenant, but we would like to understand the official support considerations and any operational caveats before applying this migration method to production.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Any experience, recommendations, or relevant F5 documentation would be greatly appreciated.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thank you.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>Why is decrypted Gemini traffic sent as HTTP over 443 via Explicit Proxy DLP, not https</title>
      <link>https://community.f5.com/t5/technical-forum/why-is-decrypted-gemini-traffic-sent-as-http-over-443-via/m-p/347405#M289625</link>
      <description>&lt;P data-path-to-node="7,0"&gt;Hello DevCentral Community,&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P data-path-to-node="7,1"&gt;I am running &lt;STRONG data-path-to-node="7,1" data-index-in-node="13"&gt;F5 SSL Orchestrator (SSLO)&lt;/STRONG&gt; integrated with an inline &lt;STRONG data-path-to-node="7,1" data-index-in-node="66"&gt;DLP device configured in HTTP Proxy (Explicit Proxy) mode&lt;/STRONG&gt;.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P data-path-to-node="7,2"&gt;SSLO successfully decrypts outbound TLS traffic and forwards it to the DLP proxy in plaintext HTTP/1.1 format. However, I noticed a difference in how the destination port is handled depending on the target site:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL data-path-to-node="7,3"&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;STRONG data-path-to-node="7,3,0,0" data-index-in-node="0"&gt;ChatGPT / Claude:&lt;/STRONG&gt; The decrypted HTTP/1.1 request is forwarded to the DLP Proxy with the destination port changed to &lt;STRONG data-path-to-node="7,3,0,0" data-index-in-node="116"&gt;Port 80 (Explicit HTTP)&lt;/STRONG&gt;.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;STRONG data-path-to-node="7,3,1,0" data-index-in-node="0"&gt;Gemini (gemini.google.com):&lt;/STRONG&gt; The decrypted HTTP/1.1 request is also forwarded as plaintext to the DLP Proxy, but the destination port remains as &lt;STRONG data-path-to-node="7,3,1,0" data-index-in-node="144"&gt;Port 443 (HTTP over 443)&lt;/STRONG&gt;.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;P data-path-to-node="7,4"&gt;Since the DLP is receiving this decrypted traffic via an Explicit HTTP Proxy connection, why does SSLO preserve Port 443 specifically for Gemini while translating the destination port to 80 for ChatGPT and Claude?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P data-path-to-node="7,5"&gt;Could this be related to how SSLO handles the original HTTP CONNECT tunneling request, ALPN negotiation, or L7 HTTP Profile settings when rewriting proxy headers for Google services?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P data-path-to-node="7,6"&gt;Any advice on how to unify the behavior so Gemini traffic is also forwarded as Explicit HTTP over Port 80 would be greatly appreciated.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P data-path-to-node="7,7"&gt;Thank you!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P data-path-to-node="7,7"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;img /&gt;&lt;img /&gt;
&lt;P&gt;ps. The following error message appears when port remap is enabled:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;[OrchestratorConfigProcessor] Deployment failed for Error: [HAAwareICRDeployProcessor] Error: transaction failed:01071912:3: CLIENTSSL_HANDSHAKE event in rule (/Common/ssloS_GENERIC_HTTP.app/ssloS_GENERIC_HTTP-port_remap) requires an associated CLIENTSSL profile on the virtual-server (/Common/ssloS_GENERIC_HTTP.app/ssloS_GENERIC_HTTP-t-4).&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>F5 rSeries appliance firmware upgrade question</title>
      <link>https://community.f5.com/t5/technical-forum/f5-rseries-appliance-firmware-upgrade-question/m-p/347404#M289624</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi guys,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have 2 x R2800 appliances (appliance_A and appliance_B); each appliance has 1 tenant (LTM). The tenants run HA (active/standby; tenant LTM_A is active, and tenant LTM_B is standby).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'd like to upgrade the firmware for appliances and tenants. Does it require a reactive license in F5OS before upgrade F5OS host?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

And same issue on all major browsers like chrome, edge and firefox.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>F5 ASM remote logging format (Splunk KV pairs)</title>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi, I had referred to F5 resource for the details about the fields found in the ASM logs (f5 AWAF). However, it seem like it doesn't have the full details of every fields found in the logs. Do we have a full documentation for the fields in the logs? The purpose to understand the log format, and what each fields would be referred in different scenario. (I don't have access to F5 web portal, therefore unable to compare the fields in f5. )&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;The sample log line:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;lt;&lt;SPAN class="lia-text-color-15"&gt;134&lt;/SPAN&gt;&amp;gt;&lt;SPAN class="lia-text-color-15"&gt;Aug 17 11:18:15 &amp;lt;host&amp;gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;

E.g., if the facility is local0 (16), then &amp;lt;134&amp;gt; would represent "Informational".&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;sig_ids, sig_names, staged_sig_ids, staged_sig_names, sig_cves, staged_sig_cves. Are these IDs and names defined by WAF's own signatures? I mostly see "N/A" for these fields. Are they related to "violations" or "sub_violations"?&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;ip_address_intelligence&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;websocket_direction, websocket_message_type. Are these fields mostly related to protocol like WSS?&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;threat_campaign_names, staged_threat_campaign_names&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;blocking_exception_reason&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;microservice&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;tap_event_id, tap_vid&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;fragment&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Wanna ensure that I can be familiar with these fields so that it would help us in log analysis.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks in advance.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <title>Beginner in F5 ASM</title>
      <link>https://community.f5.com/t5/technical-forum/beginner-in-f5-asm/m-p/347328#M289575</link>
      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi All,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I hope you are doing well.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am currently learning about F5 ASM to add one more technical skill to my skill set. I already have good experience with firewalls (Palo Alto and Check Point)&lt;BR /&gt;As F5 ASM is not deployed in our environment and we use a different vendor WAF (Imperva)&lt;BR /&gt;I wanted to know what the normal procedure is to onboard a web application on F5 in production.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Which policy template do you choose (Rapid deployment, comprehensive, fundamental)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Also, what is the best practice for policy building in learning mode?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;How are signatures enforced? After 7 days learning period, do you enforce all staging signatures learned or do some manual checks as well?&lt;/P&gt;</description>
