Description:
Bug ID 1281929: The BIG-IP system's time zone database does not reflect recent changes implemented by Mexico in regard to DST ... In fall of 2023, Mexico is cancelling DST (Daylight Saving Time) and is now on standard time indefinitely. ... The BIG-IP time zone database need an updated to reflect this change. ... Impact ... BIG-IP systems configured to use "America/Mexico" (or other applicable Mexican localities) will still apply DST. ... Hence, time will spring forward and backward on previously designated dates. ... This will have no impact to application traffic handled by the BIG-IP system. ... However, logs, alerts, reports, cron jobs, and other will use incorrect time. ... Workaround ... As a workaround, you can set the BIG-IP time zone to that of a different country with the same UTC offset and already not observing DST. ... Fix Information
