web-ports variable, ipsmc 2.2 and sensors 5.1

[darin.marais]

CiscoWorks ipsmc 2.2 adds a space between the ports when you update the variables for web-ports. ie 80-80,8010-8010 is changed to 80-80,space8010-8010.

I think that this is an error. If you change the port list to include a new port, when you deploy the configuration you receive the following error message at the console logs.

Starting to Deploy...

An EditConfigDelta request sent for all the changed components.

** ECD result for analysisEngine: no error.

** ECD result for eventActionRules: no error.

** ECD result for signatureDefinition: Error validateError: / -- /_root_/variables/[variable-name=WEBPORTS]/web-ports/ -- The integer range, 80-803128-31288000-80008010-80108080-80808888-888824326-24326, format is invalid

.

Sensor has accepted all/some current config.

Could anyone tell me if this is a recognized bug and if there is some known workaround in place to fix it?

I currently have a TAC case open for the same problem. TAC representative for my case identified it as bug CSCsb06290. It looks to me that the comma is not being generated. Through IPS MC, set the WEBPORTS variable to 80, 88. Push the config, it will show no errors. However, check it on the sensor through the CLI and you will see it has pushed the variable as only port 8088.

mysensor# conf t

mysensor(config)# service signature-definition sig0

mysensor(config-sig)# show settings

variables (min: 0, max: 256, current: 1)

TAC has provided a patch for the problem.

Do you have a name of the patch or a TAC case I can reference? The TAC engineer for my case is not aware of any available patches at the moment.

Patch is bug id CSCse19561.
