ASM Enforcement Mode

I am relatively new to F5-ASM but could someone tell me where the ASM Enforcement Mode i.e. Blocking or Transparent mode stored within the UCS folder.

 

Thanks,

 

Victor

    Victor - I don't believe you can tell what mode the policy is in from a UCS file as the information is stored in a mysql database. You can tell if you export a policy to xml and open this file offline.

     

    Hope this helps,

  • Hi Nathan - Thanks for your reply but how do you backup the policy mode if it is not within the UCS folder. Exporting the policy to xml seems like a manual process.

     

    Thanks,

      It is in the UCS so a restore of the UCS will restore the policy too but the policy info itself is not readily available from the UCS file

    The policy mode is a part of the policy itself, which is contained in a UCS. It's buried somewhere cryptic, if I recall. To Nathan's point, you can't easily tell the mode of a policy from the contents of a UCS since the info is in a mysql database
