Element Validators

About Element Validators

Validators are used on certain elements to define what user input is allowable. The BIG-IP system always has the final say on what is allowed, but if a validator value is given to the configuration utility, it can present the user with a more useful error message about the location of the error. Validator names are not case-sensitive.
