Cumulative fix details for BIG-IP v15.0.1.1 that are included in this release

839749-1 : Virtual server with specific address list might fail to create via GUI

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
When a user tries to create a virtual server with address list, it might fail with below shown error:

01b90011:3: Virtual Server /Common/VS1's Traffic Matching Criteria /Common/testvs1 illegally shares destination address, source address, service port, and ip-protocol with Virtual Server /Common/testvs2 destination address, source address, service port.

Conditions:
-- One or more virtual servers that were created via the GUI already exist on the BIG-IP system.
-- Attempt to use the GUI to create another virtual server with address list.

Impact:
Cannot create the virtual server.

Workaround:
Create the virtual server via tmsh:

-- First create the traffic matching criteria using the address list.
-- Then use the traffic matching criteria to create a virtual server.

Fix:
You can now create virtual servers with address lists directly from the GUI.

834373-4 : Possible handshake failure with TLS 1.3 early data

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
During TLS 1.3 early data handshake, a code alert and handshake failure may occur

Conditions:
TLS 1.3 with early data resumption.

Impact:
Handshake failure.

Workaround:
Turn off early data.

Fix:
Fixes a possible TLS 1.3 early data handshake failure and code alert.

831325-1 : HTTP PSM detects more issues with Transfer-Encoding headers

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
HTTP PSM may not detect some invalid Transfer-Encoding headers.

Conditions:
HTTP PSM is used to detect HTTP RFC violations. A request with an invalid Transfer-Encoding header is sent.

Impact:
Traffic is not alarmed/blocked as expected.

Workaround:
None.

Fix:
HTTP PSM detects new cases of invalid Transfer-Encoding headers.

830833-1 : HTTP PSM blocking resets should have better log messages

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
When reset-cause logging is turned on, or when RST packet logging is used, the reset reason used when rejecting bad HTTP PSM traffic is not descriptive.

Conditions:
This occurs under either of these conditions:

-- HTTP PSM is used, and a request is blocked.
-- Reset cause or RST packet logging is enabled.

Impact:
The reset reason given is not descriptive, making troubleshooting difficult.

Workaround:
None.

Fix:
The reset reason used when rejecting HTTP PSM traffic is more descriptive.

830797-1 : Standby high availability (HA) device passes traffic through virtual wire

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
Virtual wire is forwarding traffic on standby resulting in traffic loops and potential network outage.

Conditions:
-- High availability (HA) configured.
-- Virtual wire configured.

Impact:
Standby device is passing traffic, which may create traffic loops and bring down the network.

Workaround:
Do not configure virtual wire on standby devices.

Fix:
Although you can create this configuration, the standby no longer forwards any traffic, which prevents the traffic loop and potential network outage.

825561-1 : TMM may core in a rare condition serving an HTTP response

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
Sometimes when HTTP server receives a POST request, it can serve a response prior the whole request payload is arrived. When a response is chunked in some occasions TMM may fail to process it correctly.

Conditions:
-- The BIG-IP system has a virtual server configured with HTTP profile.
-- POST request is processing.
-- A chunked response is served before the whole request is received.
-- A Security Policy is applied to the virtual server.

Impact:
TMM cores, failover condition occurs, and traffic processing can be interrupted while tmm restarts.

Workaround:
None.

Fix:
The BIG-IP system now properly handles early chunked responses and does not allow TMM to core for this reason.

825013-2 : GENERICMESSAGE::message's src and dst may get cleared in certain scenarios

Component: Service Provider

Symptoms:
The "GENERICMESSAGE::message src" and "GENERICMESSAGE::message dst" iRule commands may not work properly if iRule processing changes to a different TMM. These commands may return an empty string rather than correct data.

Conditions:
-- Using "GENERICMESSAGE::message src" and/or "GENERICMESSAGE::message dst" iRule commands.
-- iRule processing moves from one TMM to another TMM.

Impact:
Incorrect data returned from "GENERICMESSAGE::message src" and "GENERICMESSAGE::message dst" iRule commands.

Fix:
The "GENERICMESSAGE::message src" and "GENERICMESSAGE::message dst" iRule commands now return correct data.

824881-1 : A rare TMM crash cause by the fix for ID 816625

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
In rare scenarios involving HTTP unchunking and plugins, the TMM may crash.

Conditions:
The fix for ID 816625 fixed HTTP unchunking and some plugins, dynamically removing the unchunking logic when required.

Other plugin behavior may in addition abort the unchunking logic in an unexpected way. This causes a double-abort, and triggers a TMM crash.

Impact:
Traffic disrupted while tmm restarts.

Fix:
The TMM no longer crashes in a rare scenario involving HTTP unchunking and plugins.

824365-4 : Need informative messages for HTTP iRule runtime validation errors

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
For HTTP iRule runtime validation errors, an ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED error message is appended (with rule name and event) to /var/log/ltm, but the message is not informative about the cause of the validation error:

err tmm1[20445]: 01220001:3: TCL error: /Common/example <HTTP_REQUEST> - ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED (line 1) invoked from within "HTTP::uri".

The system should post a more informative message, in this case:

err tmm[10662]: 01220001:3: TCL error: /Common/example <HTTP_REQUEST> - can't call after responding - ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED (line 1) invoked from within "HTTP::uri"

Conditions:
-- HTTP filter and HTTP iRules are used by a virtual server.
-- An HTTP iRule runtime validation error happens. For example, HTTP::uri is called after HTTP::respond () which is not supported.

Impact:
With no informative error messages, it is difficult to identify the validation error.

Workaround:
There is no workaround at this time.

Fix:
Informative messages are provided for HTTP iRule runtime validation errors.

821133-1 : Wrong wildcard URL matching when none of the configured URLS include QS

Component: Fraud Protection Services

Symptoms:
Wildcard URLs has a flag (include_query_string) which indicates if the matching should include traffic URL's QS or not

For example, if the traffic URL is '/path?a=b' and configured URL is '/path*b':

1. if include QS enabled, URL is matched
2. otherwise, no match (since matching against '/path' only)

if there are no configured URLs with "Include Query String" enabled, matching may be wrong

Conditions:
1. Wildcard URL configured in anti-fraud profile (URL name contains an asterisk)
2. None of the configured URLs has "Include Query String" enabled
3. Traffic URL contains a query-string

Impact:
URL is incorrectly matched (when it either shouldn't be matched at all or should match another configured URL). Features/signatures might not work as expected.

Workaround:
Configure at least one URL with "Include Query String" enabled

Fix:
FPS should match query string correctly (according to configuration)

819089 : Manually licensing a versioned VE license through the GUI fails to activate the license★

Solution Article: K63920829

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
The BIG-IP system does not activate a versioned BIG-IP VE (VE) license using the manual licensing process through the GUI.

Conditions:
Any VE license installed using the manual method that contains Exclusive_version for versioning.

Impact:
The BIG-IP system does not go active, as the license does not activate properly.

Workaround:
Use the CLI to paste the license file into /config/bigip.license then reload the license using 'reloadlic' in the bash shell.

Fix:
The system prevents using manual license installs through the GUI for versioned VE licenses.

818429-5 : TMM may crash while processing HTTP traffic

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
Under certain conditions, TMM may crash while processing HTTP traffic.

Conditions:
HTTP profile active.

Impact:
TMM crash, leading to a failover event.

Workaround:
None.

Fix:
TMM now processes HTTP traffic as expected.

816625-2 : The TMM may crash in a rare scenario involving HTTP unchunking, and plugins.

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
The TMM crashes while passing traffic.

Conditions:
This occurs rarely on a Virtual Server configured with HTTP profile that has HTTP response chunking enabled.

Impact:
Traffic disrupted while tmm restarts.

Fix:

816273-1 : L7 Policies may execute CONTAINS operands incorrectly.

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
L7 Policies involving CONTAINS operands may execute incorrectly in some cases.

The policy compiler may incorrectly combine some internal states, 'forgetting' degrees of partial evaluation of a CONTAINS operation.

Conditions:
Multiple CONTAINS conditions are used on the same virtual server.

Impact:
The wrong policy actions may be triggered.

Workaround:
It may be possible to reorder the rules in a policy to restore correct operation. However, the more complex the policy, the less likely this is.

Fix:
L7 Policy CONTAINS operations are compiled correctly. Policies with CONTAINS operations no longer trigger the wrong rule actions.

1. Access profile type is SWG-explicit.
2. Access policy contains HTTP 407 Response policy item with HTTP Auth Level being Negotiate.
3. Kerberos is used to authenticate a user.

Impact:
TMM sweeper enters aggressive mode and reaps connections.

Workaround:
None.

815449-1 : BIG-IP closes connection when an unsized response is served to a HEAD request

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
When HTTP response has neither Content-Length nor Transfer-Encoding and has a body, BIG-IP closes a connection to designate end of the response body. HTTP protocol allows to send HEAD request instead of GET request to obtain a response headers only (without). BIG-IP erroneously closes a connection when a response to HEAD request lacks both Content-Length and Transfer-Encoding.

Conditions:
BIG-IP has a virtual server configured to use an HTTP profile.
The server response does not include the Content-Length or Transfer-Encoding headers in response to a HEAD request, and both client and server sides expects the communication to continue over the same connection.

Impact:
Connection closes and a client may not repeat the corresponding GET request on another connection.

Fix:
Connection keeps opened when an unsized response provided to a HEAD request.

-- Upgrading to a version that reports an error when using SSLv2, such as v14.x/v15.x.

Impact:
The config is not loaded, and upgrade fails.

Workaround:
If you are encountering this after upgrading, run the following commands from the bash prompt:

1. Backup the configuration:
#cp /config/bigip.conf /config/bigip_backup.conf

2. List the occurrences of 'sslv2' in the bigip.conf:
#more bigip.conf | grep -i sslv2

3. Remove the SSLv2 references:
#sed -i "s/\!SSLv2://g" /config/bigip.conf

4. Check to ensure there are no 'sslv2' references:
#more bigip.conf | grep -i sslv2

5. Verify the configuration:
#tmsh load sys config verify

6. Try loading the configuration:
#tmsh load sys config

809729-1 : When HTTP/2 stream is reset by a client, BIG-IP may not respond properly

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
When a client resets the HTTP/2 stream, the BIG-IP system may have several DATA frames ready to send. It drops these frames but does not account back those in a connection-send window. It can reduce this window to the value when no DATA frames are sent over this connection until the client updates the send window.

Conditions:
-- BIG-IP system has a virtual server.
-- HTTP/2 profile is assigned to it.

Impact:
For any subsequent request after the send window loses enough size, DATA frames with payload are not sent to the client over the affected HTTP/2 connection.

Workaround:
None.

Fix:
BIG-IP systems correctly handle dropping DATA frames accounting back their lengths in a connection-send window.

806093-2 : Unwanted LDAP referrals slow or prevent administrative login

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
On a BIG-IP system configured with remote LDAP/Active Directory authentication, attempting to login to the Configuration Utility or to the command-line interface may proceed very slowly or fail.

Conditions:
-- LDAP/Active Directory 'system-auth' authentication configured.
-- The Active Directory enables LDAP referrals (the default).
-- There are a large number of Active Directory servers in the enterprise, or the BIG-IP system does not have complete network connectivity to all Active Directory servers (caused by firewalls or special routes).

Impact:
BIG-IP system may accept LDAP referrals that it is unable to process, resulting in authentication timeouts/failures.

Workaround:
To temporarily disable the referrals, edit one of the configuration files /etc/nslcd.conf or /config/bigip/auth/pam.d/ldap/system-auth.conf, and add the following line:

referrals no

Note: This change is not persistent and will be lost whenever MCPD re-loads the configuration, or when other changes are made to system-auth configuration values.

805837-1 : REST does not follow current design best practices

Solution Article: K22441651

804185-1 : Some WebSafe request signatures may not work as expected

Component: Fraud Protection Services

Symptoms:
Request signatures are part of the WebSafe signature mechanism. The request signature is achieved by configuring an FPS-protected URL and a corresponding custom-alert. If the URL is a wildcard, a priority must be assigned to determine the order of matching. URL matching by priority is not working properly. As a result, the signature do not work as expected

Conditions:
There is at least one wildcard URL configured by the request signature update file.

Impact:
A portion of WebSafe request signature do not work as expected:
-- An alert is sent, though it should not be (false-positive).
-- An alert was not sent, though it should be (false-negative).

Workaround:
Configure the same signature manually in the BIG-IP system's GUI/tmsh.

Fix:
FPS now correctly handles signature-based wildcard URL's priority.

Component: Protocol Inspection

Symptoms:
IPS IM package installation fails. IPS log /var/log/pi_hitless_upgrade shows following message:

Error during switching: unsupported type for timedelta seconds component: tuple.

Conditions:
-- IM package should contain compliance check related to a specific service (e.g., HTTP).

-- At the time of IM package installation, there is an IPS profile with following parameters:
  + The 'auto-add-new-inspections' property set to 'on'.
  + Contains a service related to compliance checks, for example:

    * Presence on the following services causes an issue with the BIG-IP v14.1.0 IM:
HTTP, SIP, IMAP

    * Presence on the following services causes an issue with the BIG-IP v15.0.0 IM:
HTTP, SIP, IMAP, GTP, Diameter

Impact:
IPS IM package is not installed.

Workaround:
1. Before IM package installation, set the profile property 'auto-add-new-inspections' to 'off' (disable).
2. Install IM package.
3. Manually add compliance checks from the IM package to profile. Compliance checks names appear similar to the following:
-- pi_updates_14.0.0-20190607.2216.im
-- pi_updates_14.0.0-20190607.2216.im

Fix:

795261-1 : LTM policy does not properly evaluate condition when an operand is missing

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
The BIG-IP system provides an LTM policies mechanism to process traffic based on a set of rules. A rule may include a number of conditions and a number of actions to execute when the conditions are satisfied. Conditions use operands to evaluate. When an operand is missing, the BIG-IP system may fail to properly evaluate the condition.

Conditions:
-- A virtual server is configured with an LTM policy.
-- The policy contains a rule with a condition which has an operand and a negative matching type like 'not equals' or 'not starts-with', etc. (e.g., http-referer host not contains { www.example.com }).
-- A processing entity (like HTTP request, etc.) is missing an operand or has an empty value (e.g., header 'Referer' is missing from the request).

Impact:
The policy is improperly evaluated on the processing entity and may produce incorrect results when load balancing a request and/or serving a response.

Workaround:
You can use either workaround:

-- Convert rules into a 'positive' (lacking of negative matching type) whenever possible.

-- Use iRules instead of a policy (might impact performance).

Fix:
The BIG0IP system no longer incorrectly evaluates conditions in LTM policy rules when their operands are missing in a processing entity.

788557-6 : BGP and BFD sessions are reset in GRST timeout period if bgpd daemon is restarted prior

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
GRST - BGP graceful reset.

The problem occurs when the routing daemon bgpd restarts/starts (e.g., by terminating the bgpd daemon) its distribution of a process and is not supported. Another way we've found is to call "bigstart restart" command on a primary blade on chassis with more than one blade.

After the new primary blade takes over, BGP and BFD sessions are recreated at around the 'graceful restart' timeout interval.

Conditions:
-- BGP and BFD are configured.
-- BGP router's 'graceful restart' option is configured, enabled (set to 120 by default).
-- The bgpd daemon is terminated.

Another way to trigger the issue is to run 'bigstart restart' on a primary blade on a chassis with more than one blade.

Impact:
If BGP peering is reset, it causes the routing protocol to withdraw dynamic routes learnt by the configured protocol, making it impossible to advertise dynamic routes of affected routing protocol from the BIG-IP system to the configured peers. This can lead to unexpected routing decisions on the BIG-IP system or other devices in the routing mesh.

In most cases, unexpected routing decisions come from networks learnt by affected routing protocol when the routing process on the BIG-IP system become unreachable. However, this state is short-lived, because the peering will be recreated shortly after the routing protocol restarts. The peering time depends on the routing configuration and responsiveness of other routing devices connected to the BIG-IP system, typically, the routing convergence period, which includes setting the peering and exchanging routing information and routes.

Workaround:
None.

Fix:
BGP and BFD peering is not recreated in GRST timeout anymore.

788417-1 : Remote Desktop client on macOS may show resource auth token on credentials prompt

Component: Access Policy Manager

Symptoms:
APM uses the 'username' attribute to pass auth token for SSO enabled native RDP resources on macOS. In case Windows policy forces the user to provide credentials, or if Single Sign-on fails, the end user may see a credentials prompt containing the base 64-encoded auth token in the username field.

This behavior is observed only with Remote Desktop Client v10.x for macOS.

Conditions:
-- APM Webtop is configured with Single Sign-on enabled native RDP resource.
-- Try to access the RDP resource from macOS using RDP client v10.x.

Note: This issue is known to occur when Microsoft Group Policy 'Always prompt for password upon connection' is enabled on the target RDP server: Computer Configuration \ Administrative Templates \ Windows Components \ Remote Desktop Services \ Remote Desktop Session Host \ Security \ Always prompt for password upon connection.

Impact:
Prompt for credentials (contains auth token in username field) causing APM end user confusion.

Workaround:
Apply the following iRule:

Note: With the following iRule implemented, users running RDP client v8 for macOS may see an empty credentials prompt when launching APM native RDP resources.

when HTTP_RESPONSE_RELEASE {
    catch {
        set locationUri [HTTP::header Location]
        if { [HTTP::status] == 302 && $locationUri starts_with "rdp://" &&
                $locationUri contains "username=s:f5_apm"} {
            HTTP::header Location \
                [string map {"username=s:f5_apm" "gatewayaccesstoken=s:"} $locationUri]
        }
    }
}

Fix:
Remote Desktop client on macOS does not show resource auth token on credentials prompt.

788325-1 : Header continuation rule is applied to request/response line

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
When a browser communicates with a server over HTTP, it can split a long header into several lines, prepending continuation lines with leading whitespace symbols. This rule does not apply to request or response line, so having leading whitespace in a first header line is invalid. The BIG-IP system parses such line a header with empty value.

Conditions:
A virtual server is configured on the BIG-IP system with HTTP profile.

Impact:
The BIG-IP system can hide some important HTTP headers either passing those to the pool member or failing to properly handle the request (or response) or failing to correctly load balance a connection (or request in case of OneConnect profile).

Workaround:
None.

Fix:
Now, when the BIG-IP system receives an invalid request or response with leading whitespace in first header line, it properly parses the header and handles it correctly.

Conditions:
When debug mode is enabled for following monitoring types
1. mssql
2. mysql
3. oracle
4. postgresql

Impact:
The user-account password configured in the health monitor may appear in plain text form in the monitor instance logs under /var/log/monitors/.

Workaround:
1. Do not enable monitor instance logging or monitor debug logging for affected monitor types. 2. If it is necessary to enable monitor instance logging or monitor debug logging for troubleshooting purposes , remove the resulting log files from the BIG-IP system after troubleshooting is completed.

Fix:
The password filed for monitor will now be redacted by external monitors when monitor debugging is enabled.

787821-1 : httprouter may deadlock

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
The httprouter proxy may get into a state where it closes the TCP window, and never reopens it.

Conditions:
The HTTP MRF Router is used. This configuration is typically used with the HTTP2 Full Proxy when you use the httprouter profile.

A very large amount of data arrives from the server in a short amount of time after connection setup.

Impact:
Traffic on a HTTP2 stream, or HTTP 1 connection blocks. Eventually, the connection will be killed by the sweeper.

Fix:
The HTTP MRF Router will not get into a state where the TCP window is permanently closed.

787601-1 : Unable to add 'Enforce' parameter if already configured in different URL

Component: Fraud Protection Services

Symptoms:
If two or more URLs are configured with 'Application Type = Mobile', is is not possible to add the 'Enforce' parameter to more than one URL.

Also, the 'Mobile Encryption Parameter' option is automatically checked if already checked in another URL.

Conditions:
1. License FPS and MobileSafe.
2. Add two or more URLs with 'Application Type = Mobile'.

Impact:
Data sent from MobileSafe SDK may not be encrypted.

Workaround:
Use TMSH to configure these settings.

Fix:
The 'Enforce' parameter is now added correctly, and the 'Mobile Encryption Parameter' is not checked automatically, which is correct functionality.

786565-1 : MRF Generic Message: unaccepted packets received by GENERIC MESSAGE filter causes subsequent messages to not be forwarded

Component: Service Provider

Symptoms:
When a message is created using the GENERICMESSAGE::message create iRule command during the CLIENT_DATA event, if the TCP payload buffer is not cleared before the event completes, the data in the payload buffer is forwarded to the generic message filter disrupting its statemachine.

Conditions:
-- A message is created using GENERICMESSAGE::message create iRule command during CLIENT_DATA event.
-- TCP payload buffer is not cleared before the event completes.

Impact:
The data in the payload buffer is forwarded to the generic message filter disrupting its statemachine. Subsequent messages are not forwarded.

Workaround:
To fix the problem, add the following to CLIENT_DATA:
TCP::payload replace 0 [TCP::payload length] ""

Fix:
Data left in the TCP payload buffer is now ignored and does not negatively impact the filter.

Workaround:
Do not toggle between 'Within Cluster' and 'Between Cluster' while traffic is going through the device.

Fix:
The solution for the reported issue is handled by the fix provided for ID 783817. ID 786173 fixes a null pointer exception that might occur in the specific case of a certain missing session variable, which is relevant only in BIG-IP releases 14.1.0 or later.

785481-1 : A tm.rejectunmatched value of 'false' will prevent connection resets in cases where the connection limit has been reached

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
Setting the DB variable tm.rejectunmatched to 'false' causes the BIG-IP system to not send RSTs when there is a match but the connection is rejected due to connection limits.

Conditions:
- tm.rejectunmatched is set to 'false'.
- A packet is matching a BIG-IP object.
- The packet is to be rejected because of connection limits.

Impact:
Reset packets are not sent back to clients when they should be.

Workaround:
None.

Fix:
Packets that match a BIG-IP object but fail due to connection limits will now be rejected with an RST.

784989-1 : TMM may crash with panic message: Assertion 'cookie name exists' failed

Fixed TMM crash, which occurred when remotedesktop/VDI profile was used together with custom iRule and Debug level logging.

784733-4 : GUI LTM Stats page freezes for large number of pools

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
When a configuration has approximately 5400 pools and 40,000 pool members, navigating to the GUI page to look at stats for all or one pool, the GUI page may freeze indefinitely.

Conditions:
Configurations with large number of pools and pool members, e.g., 5400 pools and/or 40,000 pool members.

Impact:
Cannot view pool or pool member stats in GUI.

Workaround:
Use iControl REST or TMSH to retrieve stats for such a large number of pools or pool members.

Fix:
The stats page now returns data for configurations of large numbers of pools and pool members, though a Timeout window may pop up after 30-seconds for big queries. You can dismiss that Timeout window, and the stats display as expected.

784565-1 : VLAN groups are incompatible with fast-forwarded flows

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
Traffic flowing through VLAN groups may get fast-forwarded to another TMM, which might cause that connection to be reset with reason 'Unable to select local port'.

Conditions:
-- Using VLAN groups.
-- Flows are fast-forwarded to other TMMs.

Impact:
Some connections may fail.

Workaround:
None.

Fix:
The system now prevents flows on VLAN groups from being fast-forwarded to other TMMs.

783817-1 : UI becomes unresponsive when accessing Access active session information

Component: Access Policy Manager

Symptoms:
When accessing Admin UI Access :: Overview :: Active Sessions page, the page status is stuck in 'Receiving configuration data from your device'. TMSH command 'show apm access-info' also hangs.

The following error messages shows up in TMM log:

-- notice mcp error: 0x1020002 at ../mcp/db_access.c:831
-- notice mcp error: 0x1020031 at ../mcp/mcp_config.c:588

Impact:

Workaround:
Do not toggle between 'Within Cluster' and 'Between Cluster' while traffic is going through the device.

783565-1 : Upgrade support for DB variable to attach AJAX payload to vToken cookie should be consistent with config in MCP

Component: Fraud Protection Services

Symptoms:
Upgrade support for DB variable to attach AJAX payload to vToken cookie sets 'send in alerts' flag configured on parameters without checking whether automatic transaction detection is turned on on the URL.

Conditions:
-- BIG-IP version 13.1.x or 14.0.x
-- A protected URL is configured with automatic transaction detection turned off.
-- A parameter on that URL is configured with all flags turned off.
-- The DB variable antifraud.internalconfig.flag1 is set to 'enabled' value.
-- Upgrade to 13.1.x or later (with load config) started.

Impact:
After upgrade, the configuration fails to load due to an error during schema change validation

Workaround:
-- Set the DB variable antifraud.internalconfig.flag1 value to 'disabled' before the upgrade.
-- Configure 'send in alerts' flag on the parameters manually.

Fix:
Now upgrade support takes into consideration the automatic transaction detection flag on URL and sets 'send in alerts' flag on URL parameters only for URLs with automatic transaction detection turned on.

783113-5 : BGP sessions remain down upon new primary slot election

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
BGP flapping after new primary slot election.

Conditions:
--- A BFD session is processed on a secondary blade. (It can be identified by running tcpdump.)

-- After a primary blade reset/reboot, the BFD session should be processed by the same tmm on the same blade, which was secondary before the primary blade reset/reboot.

-- The BFD session creation should happens approximately in 30 seconds after the reset/reboot.

Impact:
BGP goes down. BGP flaps cause route-dampening to kick-in on the BGP neighbors.

Workaround:
There is no workaround, but you can stabilize the BIG-IP system after the issue occurs by restarting the tmrouted daemon. To do so, issue the following command:
bigstart restart tmrouted

Fix:
BFD no longer remains DOWN after a blade reset/reboot. There is a convergence period caused by blade changes(blade reset/reboot, new blade installed, blade comes up), which may take a few moments, but after that BFD sessions show correct status.

782569-2 : SWG limited session limits on SSLO deployments

Component: Access Policy Manager

Symptoms:
SWG limited session limits are enforced on SSLO deployments that enable Explicit proxy authentication.

Conditions:
-- SSLO with Explicit proxy authentication is deployed.
-- Many concurrent SSLO connections that use custom category lookup (beyond the SWG limited session limit).

Impact:
SSLO fails to connect when the SWG limited session limit is reached.

Workaround:
None.

Fix:
If there is an SSLO profile paired with either an APM or SSLO per-request policy on a virtual server, and the operation has done a custom category only lookup, an SWG limited license is no longer consumed. This answers the case where there is auth (APM) on one virtual server, and the transparent virtual server is SSLO with custom category lookup only.

Workaround:
Configure bad-actor at the global-level instead of at the wildcard-virtual-server level.

Fix:
This release provides increased efficiency of sPVA DoS protection on wildcard virtual servers.

781069-1 : Bot Defense challenge blocks requests with long Referer headers

Component: Application Security Manager

Symptoms:
The Bot Defense challenge may block the client if the Referer header is between about 1400 characters and 3072 characters long.
This client may get blocked by TCP RST, or suffer from a challenge loop.

Conditions:
-- Bot Defense with Verify before Access, or Proactive Bot Defense are configured
-- Request has a Referer header that is between ~1400 and 3072 characters long

Impact:
Legitimate browsers may get blocked or suffer from a challenge loop

Workaround:
Use an iRule to override the Referer header from the HTTP_REQUEST event, to make it shorter.

Fix:
Challenges with long Referer headers no longer block legitimate clients.

780817-6 : TMM can crash on certain vCMP hosts after modifications to VLANs and guests.

Component: TMOS

Conditions:
When an SNMP request causes the daemon to query a file on disk it is possible that a system error occurs. If the file is not present then the error is logged repeatedly.

Impact:
This can fill up the log with errors.

Fix:
The SNMP daemon has been fixed to log this error once.

777173-1 : Citrix vdi iApp fails in APM standalone deployments with "HTTP header transformation feature not licensed" error

Component: Access Policy Manager

Symptoms:
When administrator runs Citrix vdi iApp in APM standalone deployment (LTM is not licensed), iApp fails with the following error:
01070356:3: HTTP header transformation feature not licensed

This is result of a license check added for HTTP header transformation.

Conditions:
- APM is licensed as stand alone (no LTM license)
- Admin tries to run Citrix vdi iApp

Impact:
Administrator is not able to use the iApp to configure Citrix vdi access

Workaround:
Adding LTM module license will resolve the error.

Fix:
Citrix vdi iApp now can be used to configure Citrix vdi access in an APM standalone deployment.

776073-2 : OOM killer killing tmmin system low memory condition as process OOM score is high

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
When BIG-IP system running under low memory situation, Out-Of-Memory killer more likely selects tmm to kill and release the resources.

Conditions:
BIG-IP version 13.0.x or later installed and system running with low memory.
AFM provisioned makes the tmm process more likely to be selected by the oom killer

Impact:
Traffic disrupted while tmm restarts.

Workaround:
Adjust OOM score of "tmm" process through oom_score_adj proc setting.

echo "-500" > /proc/<pid_of_tmm>/oom_score_adj

Fix:

775013-1 : TIME EXCEEDED alert has insufficient data for analysis

Component: Fraud Protection Services

Symptoms:
The time-exceeded alert does not include sufficient alert details to troubleshoot the process. It is difficult to determine whether or not the alert is valid, or how long past the request time the alert occurred.

Conditions:
Viewing alert logs for time-exceeded messages.

Impact:
Makes troubleshooting and/or analysis difficult.

Workaround:
None.

Fix:
All encryption failures alert now provides additional details to assist in troubleshooting the process.

774633-1 : Memory leak in tmm when session db variables are not cleaned up

Component: Access Policy Manager

Symptoms:
There are some session db variables created as part of the split session proxy that have an indefinite timeout. If there is an error path or a failure with an inline service, the delete never gets called and these session keys build up over time, causing memory to leak in tmm.

Conditions:
SSLO setup with a service connector that fails.

Impact:
tmm eventually runs out of memory and generates a core file.

Workaround:
None.

Fix:
Variables have been set with a timeout so that they don't leak memory if the inline service fails.

774213-2 : SWG session limits on SSLO deployments

Component: Access Policy Manager

Symptoms:
SWG session limits are enforced on SSLO deployments that enable Explicit proxy authentication.

Conditions:
-- SSLO with Explicit proxy authentication is deployed.
-- Many concurrent SSLO connections (beyond the SWG session limit).

Impact:
SSLO fails to connect when the SWG session limit is reached.

Workaround:
None.

Fix:
If there is an SSLO profile paired with either an APM or SSLO per-request policy on a virtual server, and the operation has done a hostname only lookup, an SWG license is no longer consumed. This answers the case where there is auth (APM) on one virtual server, and the transparent virtual server is SSLO with hostname Category Lookup only.

773421-4 : Server-side packets dropped with ICMP fragmentation needed when a OneConnect profile is applied

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
When OneConnect is applied to a virtual server, the server-side packets larger than the client-side MTU may be dropped.

Conditions:
-- If the client-side MTU is smaller than server-side (either via Path MTU Discovery (PMTUD), or by manually configuring the client-side VLAN).

-- OneConnect is applied.

-- proxy-mss is enabled (the default value starting in v12.0.0).

Impact:
The BIG-IP system rejects server-side ingress packets larger than the client-side MTU, with an ICMP fragmentation needed message. Connections could hang if the server ignores ICMP fragmentation needed and still sends TCP packets with larger size.

Workaround:
Disable proxy-mss in the configured TCP profile.

Fix:
OneConnect prevents sending ICMP fragmentation needed messages to servers.

772545-4 : Tmm core in SSLO environment

Component: Local Traffic Manager

769853-1 : Access Profile option to restrict connections from a single client IP is not honored for native RDP resources

Component: Access Policy Manager

Symptoms:
When launching a native RDP resource (desktop/application) from APM Webtop, APM provides an RDP file to the browser and the browser invokes the native RDP client to launch the resource with the parameters specified in the RDP file.

When Access profile option 'Restrict to Single Client IP' option is enabled, user should only be allowed to launch the resource from the client that initiated the request.

Conditions:
-- APM Webtop is configured with native RDP resource.
-- 'Restrict to Single Client IP' option is enabled in Access Profile.

Impact:
RDP file provided by APM can be used for launching the RDP resource on a client machine that did not initiate the APM session.

Workaround:
None.

Fix:
When Access Profile option 'Restrict to Single Client IP' is enabled, APM restricts native RDP resource launch from the client that initiated the APM session.

769801-2 : Internal tmm UDP filter does not set checksum

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
An internal tmm UDP filter does not set checksum for outgoing UDP packets.

Conditions:
-- An internal tmm UDP filter is in use.

Impact:
Even though a UDP packet with no checksum is permitted, it could cause some problems with some firewalls/servers.

Workaround:
For internal tmm udp filters, add the following to the UDP profile in use:

no_cksum 0

Fix:
Internal tmm UDP filters set checksum for outgoing UDP packets.

769309-1 : DB monitor reconnects to server on every probe when count = 0

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
When using an LTM database monitor configured with the default 'count' value of 0 (zero), the database monitor reconnects to the monitored server (pool member) to perform each health monitor probe, then closes the connection once the probe is complete.

Conditions:
This occurs when using one of the LTM mssql, mysql, oracle or postgresql monitor types is configured with the default 'count' value of 0 (zero).

Impact:
Connections to the monitored database server are opened and closed for each periodic health monitor probe.

Workaround:
Configure the 'count' value for the monitor to some non-zero value (such as 100) to allow the network connection to the database server to remain open for the specified number of monitor probes before it is closed and a new network connection is created.

Fix:
The LTM database monitor keeps the network connection to the monitored database server open indefinitely when configured with the default 'count' value of 0 (zero).

769061-1 : Improved details for learning suggestions to enable violation/sub-violation

Component: Application Security Manager

Symptoms:
The title for the entity in suggestions to enable violation/sub-violation is 'Match violation'/'Matched HTTP Check', though these suggestions are created when there is no match in the observed traffic.

Conditions:
There are learning suggestions to enable violations/sub-violation in the policy

Impact:
Misleading suggestion details.

Workaround:
None.

Fix:
The misleading word 'Matched' was removed from the title.

768981-1 : vCMP Hypervisor Hardening

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
The vCMP hypervisor does not apply current design best practices.

Conditions:
vCMP hypervisor enabled.

Impact:
The vCMP hypervisor does not apply current design best practices.

Workaround:
None.

Fix:
The vCMP hypervisor now applies current best practices.

767877-4 : TMM core with Bandwidth Control on flows egressing on a VLAN group

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
TMM cores during operation.

Conditions:
Known condition:
1. BWC attached to serverside connflow
2. Serverside traffic traversing/egressing VLAN group

Impact:
Traffic disrupted while tmm restarts.

766577-1 : APMD fails to send response to client and it already closed connection.

Component: Access Policy Manager

Symptoms:
APMD fails to send response to client and produces error message:
err apmd[8353]: 01490085:3: /pt-qp-campus/apm-cdp-qp-qa:pt-qp-campus:bb651ae6: Response could not be sent to remote client. Socket error: Connection reset by peer

APMD does most of its action with backend authentication servers (e.g., AD, LDAP, RADIUS). If the backend server response is very slow (because of various reasons such as network issues), it might cause slow apmd client response. Sometimes, the client has already closed the connection to the virtual server, so the client connection is no longer valid.

Conditions:
Backend server is slow, causing longer-than-usual response times.

Impact:
This causes the client to close the connection. APMD fails to respond to the client.

The cumulative slowness of the backend server causes delay in response. Most of the time, the client connection is already closed. As a result, the request queue gets full. When apmd starts processing the request from the queue, the client connection is already closed for some of them, and processing those requests still continues, which is unnecessary and causes more delay.

Fix:
The system now tests the client connection after picking up the request from the request queue and before processing.
-- If the connection is already closed, the system drops the request.
-- If the request is already in progress, the system checks the client connection before saving the session variables and sending the response to client.

765413-3 : ASM cluster syncs caused by PB ignored suggestions updates

Component: Application Security Manager

Symptoms:
Frequent syncs occurring within an ASM device group.

Conditions:
Several (updating) suggestions are marked 'ignored'.

Impact:
Syncs appear in the logs (no actual performance degradation).

Workaround:
-- Remove the Ignored Suggestions. (Note: These might be re-added and you must refrain from clicking the Ignore button).

-- Remove the Ignored Suggestions and uncheck the Learn flag for the violation that causes it. (Note: The impact is that the system does not learn this violation anymore, so any future suggestions to amend the policy for that violation will not be created.)

Fix:
Policy Builder (PB) no longer updates Ignored Suggestions, so unnecessary sync operations no longer occur.

764373-4 : 'Modified domain cookie' violation with multiple enforced domain cookies with different paths

Component: Application Security Manager

Symptoms:
When the server sends enforced cookies with the same name for different paths, a false-positive 'Modified domain cookie' violation is reported.

Conditions:
Server sends enforced cookies with the same name but with different paths.

Impact:
A valid request might be rejected.

Workaround:
None.

Fix:
The system now checks all enforced cookies correctly, so this issue no longer includes.

761993-1 : The nsm process may crash if it detects a nexthop mismatch

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
If there is a mismatch between tmrouted and nsm for the interface index or gateway of a nexthop, nsm may crash and restart.

Conditions:
-- Dynamic routing is in use.
-- A mismatch between tmrouted and nsm for the interface index or gateway of a nexthop exists.

Impact:
There is a temporary interruption to dynamic routing while nsm is restarted.

Workaround:
None.

Fix:
Prevented nsm crashing when there is a mismatch between tmrouted and nsm for the interface index or gateway of a nexthop.

761234-1 : Changing a virtual server to use an address list should be prevented if the virtual server has a security policy with a logging profile attached

Component: Advanced Firewall Manager

Symptoms:
If you create a virtual server with a single address ('Host' in the GUI) for both its source and destination, then configure the virtual server's security policy with a logging profile, and then (after creating the virtual server) modify the source or destination to use a traffic matching condition, the system reports no error when updating the configuration.

Conditions:
Attempting to use a virtual server with a security policy attached that uses a logging profile with an address list as the virtual server's source or destination.

Impact:
An invalid configuration is not caught. When later loading the configuration, the system reports a validation error, and the configuration does not load.

Workaround:
None.

Fix:
An error is now generated under these conditions.

761231-1 : Bot Defense Search Engines getting blocked after configuring DNS correctly

Component: Application Security Manager

Symptoms:
Bot Defense performs a reverse DNS for requests with User-Agents of known Search Engines.

A cache is stored for legal / illegal requests to prevent querying the DNS again.

This cache never expires, so in case of an initial misconfiguration, after fixing the DNS configuration, or routing or networking issue, the Search Engines may still be blocked until TMM is restarted.

Conditions:
-- Initial misconfiguration of DNS or routing or networking issue.
-- Cache stores requests to prevent future queries to DNS.
-- Correct the misconfiguration.

Impact:
Cache does not expire and is never updated, so it retains the misconfigured requests. As a result, valid Search Engines are getting blocked by Bot Defense.

Workaround:
Restart TMM by running the following command:
bigstart restart tmm

Fix:
The internal DNS cache within Bot Defense and DoSL7 now expires after five minutes.

761160-1 : OpenSSL vulnerability: CVE-2019-1559

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
If an application encounters a fatal protocol error and then calls SSL_shutdown() twice (once to send a close_notify, and once to receive one) then OpenSSL can respond differently to the calling application if a 0 byte record is received with invalid padding compared to if a 0 byte record is received with an invalid MAC. If the application then behaves differently based on that in a way that is detectable to the remote peer, then this amounts to a padding oracle that could be used to decrypt data. In order for this to be exploitable "non-stitched" ciphersuites must be in use. Stitched ciphersuites are optimised implementations of certain commonly used ciphersuites. Also the application must call SSL_shutdown() twice even if a protocol error has occurred (applications should not do this but some do anyway).

Conditions:

761088-2 : Remove policy editing restriction in the GUI while auto-detect language is set

Component: Application Security Manager

Symptoms:
While policy language was set to auto-detect, the policy editing was not allowed.

Conditions:
Create a new policy and set the language to auto-detect.

Impact:
While policy language was set to auto-detect, the policy editing was not allowed.

Workaround:
The policy language must be set to something other than auto-detect to allow user to edit the policy from GUI. However, policy editing is possible using REST API.

Fix:
The GUI restriction was removed. User can modify the policy while the language is set to auto-detect.

761014-1 : TMM may crash while processing local traffic

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
Under certain conditions, TMM may crash while processing local network traffic.

Conditions:
Multi-blade chassis, including multi-blade vCMP guests.

Impact:
TMM crash leading to a failover event.

Workaround:
None.

Fix:
TMM now processes local network traffic as expected.

760680-2 : TMSH may utilize 100% CPU (single core worth) when set to be a process group leader and SSH session is closed.

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
TMSH does not correctly handle absence of input stream after closing interactive SSH session and remains active in an infinite loop using 100% CPU.

Conditions:
If TMSH is a process group leader, it will not be killed when the parent shell is terminated upon SSH session close.

This is a rare case, as TMSH must be deliberately promoted to a process group leader, e.g., with the 'setsid' command.

Usually the shell process is a group leader and, when it is terminated upon SSH session close, it kills its child processes, including TMSH.

Impact:
The equivalent of one CPU core is utilized to 100% by the TMSH process. It may be mostly scheduled on one core or spread over multiple control plane cores.

Workaround:
TMSH should not be intentionally promoted to a process group leader.

You can kill all TMSH processes using the command:

killall -9 tmsh

Warning: This command kills both abandoned and in-use TMSH processes. The latter can include other users' TMSH shells, and even system-level processes invoking the TMSH utility internally. Killing all TMSH processes can lead to various unexpected failures. You can use the 'top' command to see which TMSH process is using high CPU (e.g., 90% or more), and kill just those, as those are the likely zombie processes.

You can kill specific TMSH processes using the command:

kill -9 <pid>

Where <pid> is the process ID of the TMSH instance to kill.

Fix:
I/O error handling in TMSH has been corrected, so it no longer ignores absence of input stream which led to infinite loop.

760439-5 : After installing a UCS that was taken in forced-offline state, the unit may release forced-offline status

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
After installing a UCS that was taken in forced-offline state, the unit may release forced-offline status (e.g., transitions to standby or active).

Conditions:
Installing UCS that was taken in forced-offline state on clean installed unit.

Impact:
Unit may become active/standby before intended (e.g., during maintenance).

Workaround:
After installing the UCS, ensure that the unit is in forced-offline state as intended. If not in forced-offline state, force the unit offline before proceeding.

760356-1 : Users with Application Security Administrator role cannot delete Scheduled Reports

Component: Application Visibility and Reporting

Symptoms:
User accounts configured with the Application Security Administrator role cannot delete scheduled reports, while they can create/view/edit them.

Conditions:
-- Logged on with a user account configured as an Application Security Administrator.
-- Attempting to delete a scheduled report.

Impact:
Cannot complete the delete operation. Deleting scheduled reports requires root/admin intervention.

Workaround:
Use root or a user account configured as Administrator to delete scheduled reports.

Fix:
User accounts configured with the Application Security Administrator role can now delete Scheduled Reports

760355-2 : Firewall rule to block ICMP/DHCP from 'required' to 'default'★

Component: Advanced Firewall Manager

Symptoms:
If firewall is configured on the management port with an ICMP rule, after upgrading to v14.1.x or later, the ICMP rule does not work.

Conditions:
-- Firewall is configured on the management port.
-- Firewall is configured with an ICMP rule to block.

Impact:
ICMP packets cannot be blocked with a firewall rule to drop on management port. ICMP packets are allowed from the management port.

Workaround:
Run the following commands after upgrading to v14.1.x or later from earlier versions.

# /sbin/iptables -N id760355
# /sbin/iptables -I INPUT 1 -j id760355
# /sbin/iptables -A id760355 -i mgmt -p icmp --icmp-type 8 -s 172.28.4.32 -j DROP

Fix:
ICMP firewall rule has been moved from the f5-required to f5-default.

760164 : BIG-IP VE Compression Offload HA action requires modification of db variable

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
When TMM detects a compression offload device hang it does not invoke the configured high availability (HA) action.

Conditions:
This occurs when the following conditions exist:
-- BIG-IP Virtual Edition (VE) Cryptographic Offload is licensed.
-- BIG-IP VE VM has been assigned QuickAssist Virtual Functions (VFs).
-- A QuickAssist endpoint associated with one of the VFs hangs.
-- BIG-IP VE executes compression operations.

Impact:
The configured HA action does not occur when a compression offload device hangs. Clients compression requests eventually time out.

Workaround:
Disable the pfmand by running the following commands:
tmsh modify sys db pfmand.healthstatus value disable
tmsh save sys config

The configured HA action will now occur when a compression offload device hangs.

Note: The pfmand daemon is not needed for BIG-IP VE, so disabling the db variable has no impact for BIG-IP VE configurations.

759968-4 : Distinct vCMP guests are able to cluster with each other.

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
-- Distinct vCMP guests are able to cluster with each other.

-- Guests end up having duplicate rebroad_mac on one or more slots. This can be checked using below command:

clsh tmctl -d blade tmm/vcmp -w 200 -s vcmp_name,tmid,rebroad_mac

Check the 'rebroad_mac' field for duplicate mac addresses.

vcmp_name tmid rebroad_mac
--------- ---- -----------------
default 0 02:01:23:45:01:00
vcmp1 0 00:00:00:00:00:00
vcmp5 0 02:01:23:45:01:04
vcmp6 0 00:00:00:00:00:00
vcmp7 0 02:01:23:45:01:06
vcmp8 0 00:00:00:00:00:00
vcmp9 0 02:01:23:45:01:08
vcmp10 0 02:01:23:45:01:0A <--------------
vcmp11 0 02:01:23:45:01:0A <--------------

Conditions:
-- It is not yet clear under what circumstances the issue occurs.

-- One of the ways this issue occurs is when guests are moved between blades and they end up having a non-null and duplicate 'rebroad_mac' on one or more slots.

Impact:
Only the vCMP guest acting as primary will be operative.

Workaround:
-- Disable clusterd from sending packets over tmm_bp by turning off the db variable clusterd.communicateovertmmbp:

modify sys db clusterd.communicateovertmmbp value false.

To disable the db variable on the affected guest use the following procedure:

1. stop sys service clusterd
2. modify sys db clusterd.communicateovertmmbp value false
3. start sys service clusterd
4. save sys conf

Afterwards, the affected guest may still have the wrong management IP address. To resolve that, log into the vCMP Hypervisor and force a management IP update such as changing the netmask.

Fix:
The vCMP guests no longer end up having a non-null and duplicate 'rebroad_mac' on one or more slots. Distinct vCMP guests are no longer able to cluster with each other.

Workaround:
Delete the installation log file.

Fix:
The issue is fixed by removing any existing installation log file before modification.

759135-1 : AVR report limits are locked at 1000 transactions

Component: Application Visibility and Reporting

Symptoms:
AVR reports are limited to 1000 transactions. This is due to a hard-coded limit.

Conditions:
Using AVR reports for more than 1000 transactions.

Impact:
Unable to create reports with more than 1000 rows.

Workaround:
None.

Fix:
A db variable avr.stats.reportrownumberlimit has been added, that can be controlled via TMSH. The variable controls the number of rows in report within the range of 1 to 100000.

For example, for a report with 10000 rows, modify the 'avr.stats.reportrownumberlimit' variable using the following command:

tmsh modify sys db avr.stats.reportrownumberlimit value 10000

Behavior Change:
There is a new db variable avr.stats.reportrownumberlimit available in TMSH, which controls the number of rows in an AVR report. Valid values are from 1 to 100000.

For example, to create a report with 10000 rows, modify the 'avr.stats.reportrownumberlimit' variable using the following command:

tmsh modify sys db avr.stats.reportrownumberlimit value 10000

758781-4 : iControl SOAP get_certificate_list commands take a long time to complete when there are a large number of certificates

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:

757781-4 : Portal Access: cookie exchange may be broken sometimes

Component: Access Policy Manager

Symptoms:
Portal Access uses special HTTP request with URL '/private/fm/volatile.html' to exchange cookie data between client and BIG-IP. Sometimes the BIG-IP system might send an invalid response to such a request. As a result, no cookie data can be sent from the backend server to the client.

Conditions:
Invalid response to HTTP requests with the following URL:
/private/fm/volatile.html.

Impact:
Portal Access client cannot see cookies set by the backend server. Backend server does not send cookie data to the client.

Workaround:
None.

Fix:
Portal Access now sends correct HTTP responses with backend cookie data to the client.

757578-1 : RAM cache is not compatible with verify-accept

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
The TCP profile's verify-accept option is not compatible with the RAM cache feature

Conditions:
A TCP profile is used with the 'verify-accept' option enabled, together with a Web Acceleration via RAM cache.

Impact:
There may be a log message in /var/log/tmm# describing an 'Invalid Proxy Transition'. The RAM cache feature may not handle later pipelined requests due to the proxy shutting down the connection.

Workaround:
Do not use TCP's verify-accept option together with RAM cache.

Fix:
RAM cache now works correctly when the TCP profile enables the verify-accept option.

757357-5 : TMM may crash while processing traffic

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
Under certain conditions, TMM may crash while processing traffic.

Conditions:
-- BIG-IP Virtual Edition (VE) using virtio interfaces with direct descriptors.

Impact:
TMM crash, leading to a failover event.

Workaround:
To work around this issue, use this procedure:

1a. For BIG-IP systems running versions earlier than 14.1.0, add the following line to /config/tmm_init.tcl:
device driver vendor_dev 1af4:1000 unic

1b. For BIG-IP systems running v14.1.0 and later, add the following line to /config/tmm_init.tcl:
device driver vendor_dev 1d0f:ec20 sock

2. Restart tmm using the following command:
bigstart restart tmm

Note: You might need to manually remove that line from /config/tmm_init.tcl after upgrading.

Fix:
TMM now processes traffic as expected.

757306-1 : SNMP MIBS for AFM NAT do not yet exist

Symptoms:
Trunk interface members might be missing from tmm after tmm restart on BIG-IP Virtual Edition (VE).

Conditions:
-- Using trunks on VE.
-- tmm restarts.

Impact:
No traffic processing after tmm restart.

Workaround:
Remove the interfaces from the trunk and re-add them:
# tmsh modify net trunk <trunk name> interfaces none
# tmsh modify net trunk <trunk name> interfaces add { <interface1> <interface2> }

Fix:
Traffic processing on trunks is stable after tmm restart.

754525-2 : Disabled virtual server accepts and serves traffic after restart

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
Disabled virtual servers accept traffic after being upgraded to an affected version, or after restarting.

Conditions:
1. A virtual server is configured on pre-v14.1.0.
2. Disable the virtual server.
3. Either upgrade to an affected version, or restart the system.

Impact:
The virtual server remains 'Disabled', but it accepts and processes traffic.

Workaround:
To correct the behavior, manually enable/disable the virtual server.

Fix:
Disabled virtual servers no longer process traffic after a restart.

753975-4 : TMM may crash while processing HTTP traffic with AAM

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
Under certain conditions, TMM may crash while processing HTTP traffic with AAM.

Conditions:
An active virtual server with an AAM profile and RAM cache enabled.

Impact:

None.

Fix:
TMM now processes AAM traffic as expected.

753485-3 : AVR global settings are being overridden by HA peers

Component: Application Visibility and Reporting

Symptoms:
Configuration of AVR global settings is being overridden by high availability (HA) peers, and thus report incorrectly to BIG-IQ Data Collection Devices (DCDs).

Conditions:
Configuring HA for systems connected to BIG-IQ.

Impact:
Configuration of BIG-IP systems in HA configuration can override each other. This might result in the following behavior:
-- A common symptom is the 'Stats Last Collection Date' shows up as Dec 31, 1969 or Jan 01, 1970, depending the timezone configuration of the device
-- The 'Stats Last Collection Date' shows up as '--'
-- The BIG-IP systems incorrectly identify themselves to BIG-IQ.
-- The BIG-IP systems report to the wrong DCD.
-- The BIG-IP systems report to DCD, even if they are not configured to report at all.
-- The BIG-IP systems do not report at all, even if they are configured to report.

Note: This bug is tightly related to BIG-IQ Bug ID 757423.

Workaround:
None.

Fix:
Synchronization of relevant fields on AVR global settings are disabled, so this issue no longer occurs.

747628-7 : BIG-IP sends spurious ICMP PMTU message to server

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
After negotiating an MSS in the TCP handshake, the BIG-IP system then sends an ICMP PMTU message because the packet is too large.

Conditions:
-- The server side allows timestamps and the client side does not negotiate them.

-- The client-side MTU is lower than the server-side MTU.

-- There is no ICMP message on the client-side connection.

Impact:
Unnecessary retransmission by server; suboptimal xfrag sizes (and possibly packet sizes).

Workaround:
Disable timestamps or proxy-mss on the server-side TCP profile.

None.

Fix:
For more information please see: https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K00724442

Behavior Change:
Note: After installing a version of the software that includes the fix for this issue, you must set the following db variables:

-- dnssec.nsec3apextypesbitmap
-- dnssec.nsec3underapextypesbitmap.

These two db variables are used globally (i.e., not per-DNSSEC zone) to configure the NSEC3 types bitmap returned in one-off NODATA responses for apex and under-apex responses, respectively.

When the BIG-IP system is queried for a DNS name in which the DNS name exists and is not of the RR type requested, the NSEC3 types bitmap on the response reflects what you configure for the db variable, minus the queried-for type.

When using these variables:

-- Configure type values as all lowercase.
-- Enclose multiple types in quotation marks (e.g., "txt rrsig").
-- Understand that there is likely no need to change the apex type setting; do so with extreme care. The under-apex settings are what you will find helpful in addressing the negative caching issue.

727107-5 : Request Logs are not stored locally due to shmem pipe blockage

Component: Application Security Manager

Symptoms:
An unknown issue causes the communication layer between pabnagd and asmlogd to be become stuck. Messages similar to the following appear in pabnagd.log:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
account |NOTICE|... src/Account.cpp:183|Skipped 36 repeated messages. Request Log protobuf subscription queue is full. Message dropped.
rqlgwriter |WARNIN|... src/RequestLogWriter.cpp:137|Skipped 599 repeated messages. No space to write in shmem.

Messages similar to the following appear in pabnagd.log:

Conditions:
Request Logs are not stored locally due to shmem pipe blockage.

Impact:
Event logs stop logging locally.

Workaround:
Restart policy builder with:
killall -s SIGHUP pabnagd

Fix:
The policy builder now detects the blockage, and restarts the connection with the request logger.

726176-1 : platforms using RSS DAG hash reuse source port too rapidly when the FastL4 virtual server is set to source-port preserve

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
The BIG-IP system running RSS DAG hash attempts to reuse ports while pool members remain in a TIME_WAIT state and are unable to process new connections.

Conditions:
This issue occurs when all of the following conditions are met:

-- You are running on a BIG-IP platform using RSS DAG hash, for instance, z100 and 2000 or 4000 series hardware platform.
-- You have the FastL4 profile associated with a virtual server.
-- The virtual server is configured with source-port preserve.

Impact:
Traffic throughput may be degraded.

Workaround:
Set source-port to change.

Fix:
Platforms running RSS DAG hash now reuse source port at the correct rate when virtual server sets source-port preserve.

724109-1 : Manual config-sync fails after pool with FQDN pool members is deleted

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
If a user, deletes a fqdn pool on one BIG-IP in a cluster and then run a manual config sync with another BIG-IP, the change fails to sync with the other BIG-IPs in the cluster.

Conditions:
- Create fqdn pool in one BIG-IP
- Save sys config
- Run config sync
- Delete fqdn pool
- Save sys config
- Run config sync manually

Result: After deleting fqdn pool in BIG-IP and config sync with another BIG-IP, Manual config sync failed. Still, we can see the deleted fqdn pool in another BIG-IP

Impact:
FQDN pool delete failed in another BIG-IP and manual config sync operation is failed.

Workaround:
The workaround for this issue is to use auto-sync.

714372-4 : Non-standard HTTP header Keep-Alive causes RST_STREAM in Safari

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
If the BIG-IP system has a web-acceleration which provides a number of caching and optimization options suitable for HTTP/1.1. It uses 'Connection: Keep-Alive' header on a server side, which results in appearance of 'Keep-Alive' header in a response. Such a HTTP header was adopted by the industry but not standardized. When a web-acceleration profile is configured and provides a response, Safari clients do not accept responses with a such header and reject those with a RST_STREAM message.

Conditions:
-- BIG-IP has a virtual server with HTTP/2 profile and a web-acceleration profile.
-- A pool member responds with 'Keep-Alive' header in the following format: Keep-Alive: timeout=<number>, max=<number>.

Impact:
A response to a request is rejected, which might cause incorrect rendering of HTTP page.

Workaround:
Use an iRule to remove the Keep-Alive header:

when HTTP_RESPONSE_RELEASE {
HTTP::header remove keep-alive
}

Alternatively use an LTM Policy where this header is removed from a server's response.

697590-1 : APM iRule ACCESS::session remove fails outside of Access events

Component: Access Policy Manager

Symptoms:
ACCESS::session remove fails

Conditions:
iRule calling ACCESS::session remove outside of Access events.

Impact:
APM iRule ACCESS::session remove fails to remove session

Workaround:
Use "ACCESS::session modify" and set the timeout/lifetime to something small, like 1 second. This should cause the session to be deleted due to timeout almost immediately, but note that it will show up in logs as timeout.

636400-4 : CPB (BIGIP->BIGIQ log node) Hardening

Component: Application Security Manager

Symptoms:
Centralized Policy Builder (CPB) does not follow current best practices

Conditions:
Centralized Policy Building enabled

Impact:
Centralized Policy Builder (CPB) does not follow current best practices

Workaround:
None.

Fix:
Centralized Policy Builder (CPB) now follows current best practices

851045-2 : LTM database monitor may hang when monitored DB server goes down

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
When multiple database servers are monitored by LTM database (MSSQL, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle) monitors and one database server goes down (such by stopping the database server process), a deadlock may occur in the LTM database monitor daemon (DBDaemon) which causes an interruption in monitoring of other database servers.
When this occurs, one database server going down may cause all monitored database servers to be marked Down for several minutes until the blocking operation times out and normal monitoring can resume.

Conditions:
This may occur when:
1. Running a version of BIG-IP or an Engineering Hotfix which contains fixes for bugs ID769309 and ID775901.
2. Stopping a monitored database server process (such as by halting the database service).

Impact:
Monitoring of database servers may be interrupted for up to several minutes, causing monitored database servers to be marked Down. This may persist for several minutes until the blocking operation times out, the backlog of blocked DB monitor threads are processed to completion, and normal DB monitoring resumes.

Workaround:
You can prevent this issue from occurring by using a different LTM monitor type (such as a TCP monitor or external monitor) to monitor the database servers.

The HSB hardware returns an invalid receive (rx) descriptor to TMM. This results in a TMM core and can be seen as a SIGSEGV in the TMM logs. This also might result in continuous restarts of TMM, resulting in subsequent SIGSEGVs reported in the TMM logs until the unit is manually recovered.

Conditions:
The exact conditions under which this occurs are unknown.

Impact:
Traffic disrupted while tmm restarts. This may result in continuous TMM restarts until the BIG-IP system is rebooted.

Workaround:
None.

838861-1 : TMM might crash once after upgrading SSL Orchestrator★

Component: Access Policy Manager

Symptoms:
TMM might crash due to SIGABRT.

Conditions:
-- Session check agent is present in APM per-request policy.
-- APM Access Profile scope changes during SSL Orchestrator upgrade.
-- This issue can occur for SSL Orchestrator upgrades from 14.x to 15.x and above.

Impact:
TMM might crash once. Traffic disrupted while tmm restarts.

Workaround:
None.

838405-2 : Listener traffic-group may not be updated properly when spanning is in use.

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
BIG-IP may fail to update configuration of a virtual server when disabling or enabling spanning on the virtual address.

Conditions:
Spanning is disabled or enabled on a virtual address.

Impact:
Disabling or enabling spanning on a virtual address has no effect on the virtual-server configuration.

Depending on the configuration, virtual server may or may not forward the traffic when expected.

Workaround:
Enable/Disable spanning together with changing a traffic-group:

> modify ltm virtual-address 0.0.0.0 traffic-group none spanning enabled
> modify ltm virtual-address 0.0.0.0 traffic-group traffic-group-1 spanning enabled

838353-2 : MQTT monitor is not working in route domain.

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
MQTT monitor fails when non-default route domains are used.

Conditions:
-When a non-default route domain is configured for a pool member
-mqtt monitor in use

Impact:
Mqtt monitor does not work in route domain.

838337-2 : The BIG-IP system's time zone database does not reflect recent changes implemented by Brazil in regard to DST.

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
In 2019, Brazil cancelled DST (Daylight Saving Time) and is now on standard time indefinitely. The BIG-IP system's time zone database needs to be updated to reflect this change.

Conditions:
None.

Impact:
BIG-IP systems configured to use "America/Sao_Paul" (or other applicable Brazilian 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, etc. will use incorrect time.

Note: You can inspect the time changes your system is due to apply by running the following command from the BIG-IP system's advanced shell (bash):

zdump -v <timezone>

For example:

zdump -v America/Sao_Paulo

Workaround:
As a workaround, you can set the BIG-IP system's time zone to that of a different country with the same UTC offset and already not observing DST.

For example, instead of using "America/Sao_Paul", you could use "America/Buenos_Aires" to obtain the same result.

838305-6 : BIG-IP may create multiple connections for packets that should belong to a single flow.

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
Due to a known issue, BIG-IP may create multiple connections for packets that should belong to a single flow. These connections will stay in the connection table until the idle timeout is reached. These connections can be used for forwarding the traffic.

Conditions:
BIG-IP may create multiple connections for packets that should belong to a single flow when both following conditions are true:
- Packets are coming at a very high rate from the network.
- Flow handling these packets is torn down.

Impact:
This might result in packets from the client being handled by one flow and packets from the server being handled by a different flow.

838297-3 : Remote ActiveDirectory users are unable to login to the BIG-IP using remote LDAP authentication

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
Under certain conditions, the BIG-IP system requires you to change your password on every login.

Furthermore, the login then fails, and loops endlessly asking for the password, even though the password has not expired.

Conditions:
-- BIG-IP 14.0.0 and later.
-- LDAP authentication is used for remote users.
-- Active Directory (AD) user account has shadowLastChange attribute with a value of 0 (or anything lower than the number of days since 1-1-1970).

Impact:
Remote AD BIG-IP users are unable to login to the BIG-IP system using remote LDAP authentication

Workaround:
Clear the value of shadowLastChange within AD.

837617-2 : Tmm may crash while processing a compression context

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
Tmm crashes on segfault.

Conditions:
Conditions are unknown.

Impact:
Traffic disrupted while tmm restarts.

837481-6 : SNMPv3 pass phrases should not be synced between high availability (HA) devices as that are based on each devices unique engineID

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
SNMPv3 fails to read authenticated or encrypted messages to all but one of the members of a Config Sync group.

Conditions:
Using SNMPv3 to read or receive Traps from high availability (HA) pairs.

Impact:
SNMPv3 can only work for one member of a configsync group.
Configuring passwords on one device, makes that device work, but other members of the config sync group will now fail.

Workaround:
- check "Authoritative (security) engineID for SNMPv3" is not synced (mostly code released since 2019)
engineID needs to be unique per device

- Modify /defaults/config_base.conf to set sync to "no" and check that these do not sync
We must NOT sync these parameters as they need to match the individual device engineID

            display-name "Authoritative (security) engineID for SNMPv3"
            display-name "Authentication pass phrase for SNMPv3 messages"
            display-name "Privacy pass phrase used for encrypted SNMPV3 messages"
            display-name "User's passphrase"
            display-name "Privacy passphrase"

### Mount usr as rw see see K11302
mount -o remount,rw /usr
pico /defaults/config_base.conf
# use Control-w to search for the display names above
# change "configsyncd yes" to "configsyncd no" if necessary in each location
# use Control-x y to exit with saving
# Restore usr as ro
mount -o remount,ro /usr
tmsh load sys config

Then once they are not syncing over, you can create v3 on each device using the same pass phrase as your SNMPv3 manager is using

tmsh modify sys snmp users add { v3snmp { auth-protocol sha privacy-protocol aes username mikev3 auth-password password3 privacy-password password3} }
tmsh modify sys snmp users modify { v3snmp { security-level auth-privacy access rw } }

Then each device should respond OK to query for that same pass phrase

snmpwalk -v 3 localhost -a sha -x aes -A password3 -X password3 -u mikev3 -l authpriv

For more information about SNMP, see the following articles.
K15681: Customizing the SNMP v3 engineID

837269-1 : Processing ICMP unreachable packets causes FWNAT/CGNAT persistence issues with UDP traffic

Component: Carrier-Grade NAT

Symptoms:
When hosts send ICMP unreachable error messages and processed by the BIG-IP system, subsequent good UDP packets do not get the persistence LSN translation address.

Conditions:
-- Virtual server with FW NAT or CGNAT configuration to accept UDP traffic.
-- Client or/and server randomly sends ICMP unreachable messages.

Impact:
LSN persistence issues. UDP packets from the same client IP address may not get the same translation address every time, even though there exists a persistence entry in the table

Workaround:
None.

837233-2 : "Application Security Administrator" user role cannot manage Dos Profile GUI

Component: Advanced Firewall Manager

Symptoms:
BIG-IP GUI users in "Application Security Administrator" role are not allowed to manage DoS profile page and settings.

Conditions:

Impact:
DoS profiles cannot be edited from GUI

Workaround:
Either change user role to allow managing DoS profile or edit profiles from tmsh

836661-1 : Incorrect source MAC used when the BIG-IP system in L2 transparent mode generates a TCP RST packet.

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
Packet with unexpected source MAC is seen on the adjacent node to the BIG-IP system.

Conditions:
-- The BIG-IP system is configured in an L2 transparent mode using virtual wires.
-- Traffic forwarded between client and server in an asymmetric manner across virtual wires.

Impact:
Incorrect source MAC is used. Possible impacts to services on nodes adjacent to the BIG-IP system if policy decisions on those nodes are made with the source MAC of the received packet as input.

Workaround:
None.

836357-4 : SIP MBLB incorrectly initiates new flow from virtual IP to client when existing flow is in FIN-wait2

Component: Service Provider

Symptoms:
In MBLB/SIP, if the BIG-IP system attempts to send messages to the destination over a TCP connection that is in FIN-wait2 stage, instead of returning a failure and silently dropping the message, the BIG-IP system attempts to create a new TCP connection by sending a SYN. Eventually, the attempt fails and causes the connection to be aborted.

Conditions:
-- This happens on MBLB/SIP deployment with TCP.
-- There is message sent from the server to the BIG-IP system.
-- The BIG-IP system forwards the message from the server-side to client-side.
-- The destination flow (for the BIG-IP system to forward the message to) is controlled by 'node <ip> <port>' and 'snat <ip> <port>' iRules command.
-- The destination flow is in the FIN-wait2 stage.

Impact:
This causes the BIG-IP system to abort the flow that originates the message.

Workaround:
None.

835381-2 : HTTP custom analytics profile 'not found' when default profile is modified

Component: Application Visibility and Reporting

Symptoms:
Adding SMTP config to default HTTP analytics profile results in config parsing failures for child profiles that are assigned to virtual servers. Removing SMTP config resolves the issue. The 'tmsh load sys config' command fails with the following error:

-- 01020036:3: The requested profile (/Common/child-analytics) was not found.
-- Unexpected Error: Validating configuration process failed.

Conditions:
-- Child analytics profile applied to virtual server.
-- Parent analytics profile contains SMTP config.

Impact:
Loading configuration might fail.

Workaround:
None.

835209-2 : External monitors mark objects down

Component: Global Traffic Manager (DNS)

Symptoms:

835161 : After UCS restore the restnoded or restjavad is not active

Component: Access Policy Manager

Symptoms:
Sometimes, after restoring a UCS, either restnoded or restjavad is not restarted and you see the following message in the GUI:

The iApp LX sub-system is currently unresponsive. The JavaScript sub-system is currently unavailable. Please open TMSH or a ssh shell and try restarting restnoded. Also look for errors in /var/log/restnoded/restnoded.log.

Conditions:
-- After restoring a UCS.
-- Other conditions that trigger this are unknown; this is an intermittent error.

Impact:
You may be unable to use iAppLX apps such as the SSL Orchestrator (SSLO) UI.

Workaround:
Use the following procedure to recover:

1. Create an SSH connection to the unit using the management IP address.

2. Execute the following command:
bigstart restart restnoded restjavad

3. Wait for restnoded and restjavad to come up, and then try to access the SSL Orchestrator UI.

834217-6 : Some init-rwnd and client-mss combinations may result in sub-optimal advertised TCP window.

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
Due to a known issue BIG-IP may advertise sub-optimal window size.

Conditions:
Result of (init-rwnd * client-mss) is greater than maximum window size (65,535).

Impact:
Degraded TCP performance.

Workaround:
Do not use init-rwnd values that might result in values higher than maximum window size (65,535).

Assuming MSS of 1480, the maximum value of init-rwnd is:
65535/1480 = 44.

833685-4 : Idle async handlers can remain loaded for a long time doing nothing

Component: Application Security Manager

Symptoms:
Idle async handlers can remain loaded for a long time doing nothing becasue they do not have an idle timer. The sum of such idle async handlers can add unnecessary memory pressure.

Conditions:
This issue might result from several sets of conditions. Here is one:

Exporting a big XML ASM policy and then leaving the BIG-IP system idle. The relevant asm_config_server handler process increases its memory consumption and remains that way, holding on to the memory until it is released with a restart.

Impact:
Idle async handlers remain for a long time.

Workaround:
-- Restart asm_config_server, to free up all the memory that is currently taken by all asm_config_server processes and to impose the new MaxMemorySize threshold:
---------------
# pkill -f asm_config_server
---------------
-- Restart it periodically via cron, as idle handlers are soon created again.

833213-2 : Conditional requests are served incorrectly with AAM policy in webacceleration profile

Component: WebAccelerator

Symptoms:
HTTP 1.1 allows a conditional request with header If-Modified-Since or If-Unmodified-Since to determine whether a resource changed since a specified date and time. If AAM is provisioned and its policy is assigned to a virtual server, it may incorrectly respond with 304 Not Modified, even after the resource was updated.

Conditions:
-- AAM is provisioned and webacceleration policy is attached to a virtual server.
-- Client sends a conditional request with If-Modified-Since or If-Unmodified-Since header.
-- The BIG-IP system responds from AAM cache.

Impact:
Client does not receive an updated resource.

Workaround:
Use webacceleration profile without AAM policy for resources that require conditional checks falling back into Ramcache.

833173-1 : SFP interfaces are flapping on 2xxx/4xxx on version 15.0.x

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
SFP interfaces start flapping immediately after booting up 2xxx/4xxx platforms, and it takes some time to goes into an up/running state.

Conditions:
Happens on the following platforms with BIG-IP 15.0.x using the SFP interface:

2000s/2200v
4000s/4400v

Impact:
Interface are unusable until it stops flapping and goes into an up/running state.

Workaround:
There is no known mitigation except to wait for the interface to go into the up/running state.

833113-4 : Avrd core when sending large messages via https

Component: Application Visibility and Reporting

Symptoms:
When sending large messages (>4KB) via HTTPs may cause avrd to core.

Conditions:
This typically happens when BIG-IP is managed by BIG-IQ and configuration is large and complex or traffic capturing is enabled.

Impact:
Messages to BIG-IQ are lost. In severe cases, analytics functionality may be unavailable due contiguous AVRD cores.

Workaround:
None.

833049-1 : Category lookup tool in GUI may not match actual traffic categorization

Component: Access Policy Manager

Symptoms:
Category Lookup agent has changed to include the IP in the categorization query. The BIG-IP TMUI does not do the same (Access Policy :: Secure Web Gateway : Database Settings : URL Category Lookup).

Conditions:
-- SWG or URLDB provisioned.
-- Run traffic with category lookup in the PRP and note the category produced.
-- Run the same URL through the GUI lookup tool or the command line tool.

Impact:
Some websites may be categorized differently depending on if the IP address is passed in or not.

Workaround:
None.

832665-3 : The version of open-vm-tools included with BIG-IP Virtual Edition is 10.0.5

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:

warning mcpd[7175]: 01071859:4: Warning generated : /Common/test1:2: warning: ["\1" has no meaning. Did you mean "\\1" or "1"?][{(test) (\1)}]

Conditions:
Use arguments such as "\1", "\2", "\3" etc., in command regexp.

Impact:
A warning is generated, "\1" has no meaning, even though it is valid.

Workaround:
Ignore the warning.

832133-2 : In-TMM monitors fail to match certain binary data in the response from the server.

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
Pool members are incorrectly marked DOWN by a monitor. The pool members send the expected response to the probe, but the BIG-IP system still marks them DOWN.

Conditions:
This issue occurs when all of the following conditions are met:

-- In-TMM monitoring is enabled on the system (the 'bigd.tmm' db key is set to 'enable'; note this is set to 'disable' by default).

-- One (or more) of your TCP or HTTP monitors specifies a receive string using HEX encoding, in order to match binary data in the server's response.

-- Depending on the HEX values specified (currently values in the range of 0x80-0xBF are believed to be affected), response matching fails.

Impact:
Objects that are meant to be marked UP are marked DOWN. As a result, no load balancing occurs to affected resources.

Workaround:
You can use either of the following workarounds:

-- Disable in-TMM monitoring by setting 'bigd.tmm' to 'disable'.

-- Do not monitor the application through a binary response (if the application allows it).

None.

829821-2 : Mcpd may miss its high availability (HA) heartbeat if a very large amount of pool members are configured

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
If a very large amount of pool members are configured (tens of thousands), mcpd may miss its high availability (HA) heartbeat and be killed by sod.

Conditions:
-- A large number of pool members.
-- Pool member validation occurs (such as when loading a configuration or doing a configsync operation).

Impact:
Mcpd is killed by sod. This causes a failover (when the BIG-IP is in a DSC) or outage (if standalone).

Workaround:
None.

829677-3 : .tmp files in /var/config/rest/ may cause /var directory exhaustion

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
The /var partition might become completely full on the disk due to tmp files being written to /var/config/rest. This condition may be accompanied by console error messages similar to the following:
011d0004:3: Disk partition /var (slot #) has only 0% free on secondary blade.

Additionally, there may be periodic restjavad and bigd daemon restarts related to disk space exhaustion.

Conditions:
Process traffic while DoS Dashboard is open.

This issue is happening because a VIPRION process is not available because of a REST timeout.

Impact:
The partition housing /var/config/rest may become 100% full, impacting future disk IO to the partition.

[INFO] Text: u'{"code":200,"message":"REST system unavailable due to disk corruption! See /var/log/restjavad.*.log for errors.","restOperationId":1472895,"kind":":resterrorresponse"}'

-- The GUI indicates that iAppLX sub-system is unresponsive.

-- On the BIG-IP device, /var/config/rest/storage/LOST-STORAGE.txt exists.

Conditions:
The conditions that trigger this are unknown. It might be due to a previous catastrophic event such as power loss or out-of-memory errors.

Manually creating the file /var/config/rest/storage/LOST-STORAGE.txt can also trigger this error.

Impact:
The iControl REST system is unavailable.

Workaround:
Run the following commands at the BIG-IP command prompt:

bigstart stop restjavad restnoded
rm -rf /var/config/rest/storage
rm -rf /var/config/rest/index
bigstart start restjavad restnoded
rm -f /var/config/rest/downloads/*.rpm
rm -f /var/config/rest/iapps/RPMS/*.rpm

Workaround:
Delete duplicate traffic-selectors.

828601-2 : IPv6 Management route is preferred over IPv6 tmm route

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
The IPv6 Management route has lower metrics than the static IPv6 tmm route. As a result, traffic that matches the default route goes to the management interface.

Conditions:
-- Create an IPv6 management route, which is going to be a default gateway.

-- Receive another default gateway from a configured peer using any of dynamic routing protocols (BGP, OSPF, etc.)

Impact:
The incorrect routing table sends the traffic that matches the default route to the management interface.

Workaround:
None.

827441 : Changing a UDP virtual server with an immediate timeout to a TCP virtual server can cause connections to fail

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
The BIG-IP system sends a TCP SYN to the back-end server, but ignores the server's SYN-ACK response.

Conditions:
A virtual server that contains a UDP profile with idle-timeout immediate is modified to replace the UDP profiles with TCP profiles.

Impact:
Connections from the BIG-IP system to backend servers fails.

Workaround:
Delete and recreate the virtual server.

827209-3 : HSB transmit lockup on i4600

Conditions:
-- Using an i4600 platform.
-- Other conditions under which this occurs are unknown.

Impact:
Disruption to processing traffic on the BIG-IP system.

Workaround:
None.

827021-1 : MCP update message may be lost when primary blade changes in chassis

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
In a VIPRION chassis, when the Primary blade is disabled (intentionally or due to an unexpected loss of functionality) and a new Primary blade is selected, there is a brief window of time during which status messages forwarded from MCPD on a Secondary blade to MCPD on the Primary blade might be dropped, possibly resulting in an incorrect view of the state of configured objects.

Conditions:
This problem may occur under the following conditions:
-- The state of a blade-local object/resources (such as a network interface or trunk) changes.
-- There is a high load on MCPD (for example, due to configuration reload on the new Primary blade) which delays processing of some MCPD actions.

Impact:
This problem may result in the state of blade-local objects (such as interfaces or trunks) being seen and reported incorrectly across the blades in the chassis, or on one or more specific blades (Primary, Secondary) in the chassis.

For example, if loss of the Primary blade results in one or more interfaces in a trunk being marked down by LACPD on a specific blade, resulting changes in trunk/member status may not be propagated correctly to the Primary blade, and from there to other Secondary blades.

Workaround:
None.

826313-5 : Error: Media type is incompatible with other trunk members★

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
Loading system configuration is failing after upgrade with an error message

01070619:3: Interface 5.0 media type is incompatible with other trunk members

Conditions:
-- Trunk interface created in BIG-IP version 12.3.4.
-- Trunk interfaces have different speeds (e.g. 100Mb interfaces and 1Gb interfaces)
-- Load the configuration after upgrading from v12.1.3.4 to v12.1.3.5.

Impact:
The system configuration is failing to load.

Workaround:
If you encounter this error, manually fix all trunks to only use interfaces of the same speed, and then load the configuration.

826297-2 : Address list as source/destination for virtual server cannot be changed from tmsh

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
Address list as source/destination for virtual server cannot be changed from tmsh as it is applicable from GUI.

Conditions:
For an address created in tmsh:

# list security shared-objects address-list
security shared-objects address-list testAddressList {
    addresses {
        1.1.1.1/32 { }
        2.2.2.2/32 { }
    }
}

There is no Address list option shown in virtual server config:

# modify ltm virtual test source
Configuration Items:
  [enter address or address/prefixlen] <==!!

Impact:
Address list as source/destination for virtual server cannot be changed from tmsh.

Workaround:
Use the GUI to make changes to the Address list as source/destination for virtual server.

826189-1 : The WebUI incorrectly allows the dns64-prefix option found in DNS profiles to include a subnet mask.

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
The input validation performed by the BIG-IP system WebUI incorrectly allows the dns64-prefix option found in DNS profiles to include a subnet mask.

The WebUI should allow users to specify only a prefix (for example, 2001:db8:0:0:0:0:0:0 or 2001:db8::); however, it incorrectly allows users to specify a subnet mask too (for example, 2001:db8:0:0:0:0:0:0/96 or 2001:db8::/96).

In contrast, the TMSH utility correctly enforces values for this option.

Conditions:
The BIG-IP Administrator creates or modifies a DNS profile using the WebUI, and specifies an IP/SM value for the dns64-prefix option.

Impact:
Upon performing DNS64, TMM returns incorrect DNS answers that do not use the specified prefix. For example, if the Administrator specifies 2001:db8:0:0:0:0:0:0/96 as the prefix, and if the IPv4 address of the requested resource is 198.51.100.1, DNS64 returns ::198.51.100.1 instead of 2001:db8::c633:6401. This prevents end-user clients from reaching the intended resource.

The impact described in this section only applies to BIG-IP versions 14.1.0 and later. Previous BIG-IP versions also had this WebUI validation issue, but despite this TMM still returned the correct DNS answer.

Workaround:
When configuring this option using the WebUI, do not specify a subnet mask.

825805-2 : NTLM Auth may fail due to incorrect handling of EPM response★

Component: Access Policy Manager

Conditions:
-- NTLM authentication configured.
-- Upgraded to a BIG-IP software version that contains the implementation for the Microsoft Internet Explorer feature, 'Enhanced protected mode' (EPM).
-- There are more than two protocol sequence towers included in the EPM response.

Impact:
APM end users cannot login.

Workaround:
None.

825501-2 : IPS IM package version is inconsistent on slot if it was installed or loaded when a slot was offline.★

Component: Protocol Inspection

Symptoms:
If the IPS IM package is installed on a multi-slot device, and one slot is offline, the IM package version might be different on the offline slot when it comes back online.

It also shows different versions of the Active IM package on different slots.

Conditions:
-- Multi-bladed clustered system.
-- One of the blades is offline.
-- The IPS IM package is installed to the primary blade.

Impact:
The primary blade syncs the IM package to all of the secondary blades that are online; however, when the offline blade comes back online, it does not have the updated IM package.

As a result, traffic being processed by different blades will be using different IPS libraries and might cause inconsistency in the functionality

Workaround:
Although there is no workaround, you can prevent the issue by ensuring that all blades are online when you install an IPS IM package.

825413-3 : /var/lib/mysql disk is full

Component: Application Security Manager

Symptoms:
PRX.BRUTE_FORCE_* db tables do not have a row_limit, so they can grow to consume all available disk space in /var/lib/mysql.

Conditions:
ASM provisioned

Impact:
/var/lib/mysql can run out of disk space

Workaround:
1. Truncate the two large tables. This clears all the row in those table and should make disk space.
   Note that existing brute force username and IPs reporting data will be lost.

# mysql -u root -p$(perl -MPassCrypt -nle 'print PassCrypt::decrypt_password($_)' /var/db/mysqlpw) -e "TRUNCATE TABLE PRX.BRUTE_FORCE_MITIGATED_USERNAMES"

# mysql -u root -p$(perl -MPassCrypt -nle 'print PassCrypt::decrypt_password($_)' /var/db/mysqlpw) -e "TRUNCATE TABLE PRX.BRUTE_FORCE_MITIGATED_IPS"

2. Add row_limit for the two tables to avoid the same issue in the future.

Add following lines in the bottom of this file, /etc/ts/tools/clean_db.yaml

  PRX.BRUTE_FORCE_MITIGATED_USERNAMES:
    row_limit: 100000
    order_by: brute_force_mitigated_username_id

  PRX.BRUTE_FORCE_MITIGATED_IPS:
    row_limit: 100000
    order_by: brute_force_mitigated_ip_id

Restart clean_db process (there is no impact of restarting this process)

# pkill -f clean_db

Wait 30 sec, and make sure the process came back

# ps aux | grep clean_db

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
In rare circumstances mcpd may core when resetting its DSC connection.

Conditions:
The exact conditions are not known for this to occur. The BIG-IP system must be in a Device Service Cluster, and must have configuration sync enabled. It might be related to when an Administrative BIG-IP user makes manual changes to the device trust group that would cause the trust to be broken (and optionally, re-established).

Impact:
mcpd cores and restarts. This results in a failover to the next active peer.

Workaround:
None.

812705-2 : 'translate-address disabled' setting for LTM virtual server does not have any effect with iRules for NAT64 traffic

Component: Carrier-Grade NAT

Symptoms:
IPv4 Packets are forwarded to server-side with destination address changed to LTM pool member address even when 'translate-address disabled' is configured on a NAT64 virtual server.

Conditions:
-- Create iRules for LTM pool selection.
-- Configure the NAT64 virtual server with 'translate-address disabled'.
-- Send IPv6 client request accessing the NAT64 virtual server.

Impact:
Server-side IPv4 packets are forwarded with destination address modified. The server-side packets do not reach the intended destination, resulting in connection failures.

Workaround:
Use normal LTM pool selection instead of iRules-based, LTM pool selection.

812693 : Connection in FIN_WAIT_2 state may fail to be removed

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
If a connection that has a fully closed client-side, but a server-side still in FIN_WAIT_2, receives a SYN matching the same connflow, the idle time is reset. This can result in the fin-wait-2-timeout never being reached. The SYN will be responded to with a RST - 'TCP Closed'

Conditions:
- Client side connection has been fully closed. This may occur if a client SSL profile is in use and an 'Encrypted Alert' has been received.
- Server side has sent a FIN which has been ACK'd, but no FIN has been received from the server.
- SYN received matching the existing connflow before the FIN-WAIT-2-timeout has been reached (300 default).

Impact:
Connection may fail to be removed in a timely manner. New connection attempts are RST with 'TCP Closed'

Workaround:
You can use either of the following:
-- Ensure servers are sending FIN's so as not to leave the connection in a FIN_WAIT_2 state.

-- Mitigate the issue by lowering the FIN-WAIT-2-timeout to a smaller value, e.g., FIN-WAIT-2-timeout 10.

812493-3 : When engineID is reconfigured, snmp and alert daemons must be restarted★

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
The engineID, engineBoots, engineTime values in SNMPv3 traps are shared by both the SNMP and the Alert daemons and are included in traps raised by both daemons. When the engineID is reconfigured then both daemons must be restarted in order to resynchronize the new values.

Conditions:
Traps issued by the SNMP and Alert daemons may not have engine values that are in sync when the EngineID is first reconfigured. This can happen both with a configuration change and an upgrade.

Impact:
This may confuse the SNMP client receiving the trap.

Workaround:
Restart the snmp daemon and then the alert daemon when the engine ID is reconfigured for the first time and the first time after a software upgrade

tmsh restart sys service snmpd alertd

812481-1 : HSL logging may work unreliably for Management-IP firewall rules

811157-1 : Global Staged Default Action is logged for ICMP traffic targeted to BIG-IP itself

Component: Advanced Firewall Manager

Symptoms:
"Global Staged Default Action" message is logged into the firewall log for ICMP traffic targeted to Self-IP or Virtual Server destination address, even though this traffic can never be affected by Global Default Actions.

The "Global Staged Default Action" counter is also incremented.

Conditions:
Logging is enabled for Global Staged Default Action by setting the sys db tm.fw.stagedglobaldefaultrule.log to value "enabled" (this sys db has value "disabled" by default).

There are no special conditions for the "Global Staged Default Action" counter increment.

Impact:
Misleading messages are logged into the firewall log.
The "Global Staged Default Action" counter is incorrectly incremented.

The traffic itself is not affected and there are no other negative effects except the incorrect log message and counter update.

Workaround:
There is no workaround regarding the "Global Staged Default Action" counter increment.

For preventing the misleading log message disable logging of Global Staged Default Action by setting the sys db tm.fw.stagedglobaldefaultrule.log to value "disabled".

Conditions:
-- Using dynamic routing.
-- Changing a virtual server's destination address from IPv6 to IPv4.
-- The virtual server's state changes.

Impact:
Tmrouted cores and restarts, which causes a temporary interruption of dynamic routing services.

Workaround:
Use TMSH to modify both the destination address and the netmask at the same time, e.g.:

tmsh modify ltm virtual <virtual server name> destination <destination address> mask <netmask>

810821-2 : Management interface flaps after rebooting the device

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
The Management interface flaps after rebooting the device, which causes a momentary active-active condition in a high availability (HA) configuration.

Conditions:
This can occur after rebooting the active or standby device in an HA configuration.

Impact:
Devices go active-active for a few seconds and then resume normal operation.

Workaround:
You may be able to work around this by changing the management port speed to 100/Fixed Duplex.

810533-3 : SSL Handshakes may fail with valid SNI when SNI required is true but no Server Name is specified in the profile

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
When the client attempts to connect, even when sending the proper SNI extension, the BIG-IP system resets the connection after the client hello.

Conditions:
-- SNI Required set to true.
-- No Server Name configured in the client SSL profile.

Impact:
SSL connections with valid SNI are closed, and the client cannot connect. With generic alerts enabled, you will see 'SSL alert number 40'. This is because the system does not read the server names from the SAN extension within the certificate.

Workaround:
Specify a valid server name in the server name field of the client SSL profile.

810445-1 : PEM: ftp-data not classified or reported

Component: Local Traffic Manager

808017-1 : When using a variable as the only parameter to the iRule persist command, the iRule validation fails

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
When using a variable as the only parameter to the iRule persist command, for example:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
set persistence none
persist $persistence
}

The iRule validation fails with the message:

Persistence mode (Cookie) called out in rule <rule name> requires a corresponding persistence profile for virtual server

Conditions:
Using a variable as the only parameter to the iRule persist command.

Impact:
Validation fails and hence the system config cannot be loaded.

Workaround:

807945-1 : Loading UCS file for the first time not updating MCP DB

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
MCP DB is not updated after loading a UCS file.

Conditions:
1. Save UCS with 'flow-control' default value 'tx-rx'.
2. Modify the value from 'rx-tx' to 'none'.
3. Save another UCS with modified value.
4. Load the UCS with default value, everything works fine here.
5. Load the UCS with the modified value.

Impact:
The 'flow-control' setting gets changed. The functionality does not work after the first UCS load as MCP DB is not getting updated.

Workaround:
Load the same UCS again.

The MCP DB gets updated properly.

807337-4 : Config utility (web UI) output differs between tmsh and AS3 when the pool monitor is changed.

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
When a transaction attempts multiple commands (delete, create, modify) for the same object in the same transaction, the results can be unexpected or undefined. A common example is: 'transaction { delete key create_if key }' where the transaction will attempt to 'delete key', and then 'create_if key', which unmarks the delete operation on the key (so in this case the key remains unmodified). In other cases it is possible that monitoring stops for the associated object, such as for: pool, pool_member, node_address, monitor.

Conditions:
A user-initiated transaction attempts multiple commands for the same monitor-related object, such as (delete, create, modify).

Impact:
Web UI shows misleading info about pool monitor.The monitor-related object may be unchanged; or monitoring may stop for that object.

Workaround:
Transactions modifying a monitor-related object (pool, pool_member, node_address, monitor) should perform a single command upon that object (such as one of: 'delete', 'create', 'modify').

806985-2 : Installation issues when adding new blade v12.1.3 to VPR cluster v14.1.0.1 EHF★

Component: TMOS

Component: Carrier-Grade NAT

Symptoms:
Configure translate-address disabled under Virtual with LTM pool configured.

In the NAT44 case, LTM pool is used as next-hop and packets are L2 forwarded to LTM pool members without destination address translated.

In NAT64 case, packets are dropped if there is no route available to reach the IPv4 destinations (derived from original IPv6 destination). Packets are not L2 forwarded to LTM pool members.

Conditions:
-- Virtual server with LTM pool configured.
-- CGNAT LSN pool configured.
-- Translate-address disabled.

Impact:
If there is no route available to reach the destination, NAT64 packets are dropped.

In system where a device group uses the management interface, reporting statistics for device group does not work. The following error appears in /var/log/avr/monpd.log:

REPORTER|ERROR|Nov 04 14:24:38.017|32640|../src/reporter/handlers/distributed/DistributedReportRunnerHandler.cpp:processCallStatusMessage:1921| Map reduce call failed. Can't collect report data from the cluster members..

Conditions:
-- Device group is used.
-- The configsync.allowmanagement DB variable is set to 'enable'.
-- Management IP address is used as the config sync address of the device group.

Impact:
AVR statistics report for device group does not work.

Workaround:
Use a self IP address for device groups instead of the management IP address.

805417-2 : Unable to enable LDAP system auth profile debug logging

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
Beginning in version 14.1.0, LDAP debugging must be performed on nslcd logs and not pam_ldap logs; however, it is not possible to enable debug logging on nslcd via the configuration file.

Conditions:
This would be encountered only if you (or F5 Support) wanted to do troubleshooting of LDAP connections by enabling debug logging.

Impact:
LDAP system authentication 'debug' parameter does not provide sufficient levels of debug logs, but here is no impact to normal system operation.

Workaround:
To enable debug logging and have the system post log messages to the SSH/console window, start the nslcd process with -d option:

systemctl stop nslcd
nslcd -d

Note: The -d setting does not persist, so each time you want to log debug output, you must complete this procedure.

When done, restart nslcd:
systemctl start nslcd

805353-2 : ASM reporting for WebSocket frames has empty username field

Component: Application Security Manager

Symptoms:
When using ASM to inspect and report WebSocket frames, the username field is always reported as empty or absent.

Conditions:
-- ASM provisioned.
-- ASM policy attached to a virtual server.
-- WebSocket profile attached to a virtual server.
-- ASM logging profile attached to a virtual server.
-- WebSocket traffic inspected by ASM and logged as event log message or remote logger message.

Impact:
Poor visibility of current logged-in user in the event log for WebSocket frames.

Workaround:

805325-4 : tmsh help text contains a reference to bigpipe, which is no longer supported

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
The 'sys httpd ssl-certkeyfile' tmsh help text contains a reference to bigpipe, which is no longer supported.

Conditions:
Viewing tmsh help for 'sys httpd ssl-certkeyfile'.

Impact:
Incorrect reference to bigpipe.

Workaround:
You can use the following command sequence to change the key:
modify httpd { ssl-certfile [string] ssl-certkeyfile [string] }

805017-1 : DB monitor marks pool member down if no send/recv strings are configured

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
If an LTM database monitor type (MySQL, MSSQL, Oracle or PostgreSQL database monitor type) is configured without a 'send' string to issue a user-specified database query, pool members using this monitor are marked DOWN, even though a connection to the configured database completed successfully.

Conditions:
-- AnLTM pool or pool members are configured to us an LTM database (MySQL, MSSQL, Oracle or PostgreSQL) monitor type.
-- No send string is configured for the monitor.

Impact:
With this configuration, the monitor connects to the configured database, but does not issue a query or check for a specific response. Pool members are always marked DOWN when using a database monitor with no 'send' string configured.

Workaround:
To work around this issue, configure 'send' and 'recv' strings for the database monitor that will always succeed when successfully connected to the specified database (with the configured username and password, if applicable).

804477-5 : Log HSB registers when parts of the device becomes unresponsive

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
Part of the HSB becomes unresponsive and there is no logging of additional registers to assist in diagnosing the failure.

Conditions:
It is unknown under what conditions the HSB becomes unresponsive.

Impact:
Limited visibility into the HSB state when it becomes unresponsive.

Workaround:
None.

Workaround:
None

804273-2 : TMM is unable to redirect RRDAG'd traffic

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
TMM cannot redirect RRDAG traffic in vCMP guest. This can affect GTP traffic.

Conditions:
Send UDP traffic to vCMP guest using RRDAG cmp-hash.

Impact:
Traffic is pinned to tmm.0.

Workaround:
None.

803845 : When in HA, the Standby device is forwarding traffic causing a loop and subsequent network shutdown

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
Standby is passing traffic when a virtual wire is configured.

Conditions:
-- Virtual wire configured in high availability (HA).

Impact:
Standby device is forwarding traffic traffic when it should not, causing a loop and subsequent network shutdown.

err mcpd[1001]: 01071769:3: Decryption of the field (sym_unit_key) for object (<guest name>) failed.

Conditions:
-- An upgrade or UCS restore of the vCMP host.
-- Having a vCMP guest's sym-unit-key field populated.
-- Having changed the host's master key.

Impact:
The upgrade or UCS restore fails with an MCPD error.

Workaround:
Comment out the sym-unit-key field and load the configuration.

803825-2 : WebSSO does not support large NTLM target info length

Component: Access Policy Manager

Symptoms:
WebSSO crashes.

Conditions:
When the optional field of the target info is about 1000 bytes or larger.

Impact:
WebSSO crashes and loss of service.

Workaround:
Config NTLM not to have large target info, recommend < 800.

803645-4 : GTMD daemon crashes

Component: Global Traffic Manager (DNS)

Symptoms:
The gtmd process crashes in response to a call triggered by its own timer event.

Conditions:
The conditions under which this causes this intermittent issue are difficult to reproduce, but it might occur when the system is under heavy load when gtmd is starved of CPU cycles.

Impact:
The gtmd process restarts and produces a core file.

Workaround:
None.

803629-1 : SQL monitor fails with 'Analyze Response failure' message even if recv string is correct

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
For a database (mssql, mysql, postgresql or oracle) monitor type, with a 'recv' string configured, a pool member configured to use the DB monitor may be marked down even if the server is working and includes the configured response string among the response data.

Debug logging of the SQL monitor indicates the following:
... [DBPinger-3778] - Response from server: Database: 'db1'Database: 'information_schema'
... [DBPinger-3778] - Checking for recv string: information_schema
... [DBPinger-3778] - Analyze Response failure

The log shows 'Analyze Response failure' error message even when the configured 'recv' string appears within the response message from the DB server.

Conditions:
This occurs when the string matching the configured 'recv' string value does not appear in the response from the DB server in the row indicated by the 'recv-row' value configured for the monitor.

The default value of 'none' for the 'recv-row' monitor configuration value is actually interpreted as 'row 1' by the DB monitor core implementation.
Therefore, with the default configuration, any 'recv' string configured must appear in the first row of the DB server response in order to be recognized as a match.

Impact:
The DB monitor fails, and the DB server (node) is marked as down even though it is reachable and responding correctly per the configured 'recv' string.

Workaround:
You may use one of the following methods to work around this issue:
1. Configure the DB monitor's 'recv' string to match on the first row in the server response message.
2. Configure the 'recv-row' value in the DB monitor to match the row of the DB server's response which contains the configured 'recv' string.
3. Do not configure 'send' or 'recv' string for the DB monitor.

803457-1 : SNMP custom stats cannot access iStats

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
While doing an snmpwalk, you encounter the following error:

-- tcl callback Default return string: istats: tmstat_open_read: open: /var/tmstat/istats: Permission denied.
-- istats: tmstat_read: open: /var/tmstat/istats: Permission denied.
-- ERROR opening iStats read segment '/var/tmstat/istats': Permission denied.

Conditions:
This occurs when using SNMP to access iStats.

Impact:
iStats cannot be accessed through SNMP and generates an error.

Workaround:
None.

803233-2 : Pool may temporarily become empty and any virtual server that uses that pool may temporarily become unavailable

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
Intermittently (depending the timing of operations that keep MCP busy):

1. Messages similar to the following may be logged in the LTM log, indicating that the virtual server associated with a pool became temporarily unavailable:

-- notice mcpd[4815]: 01071682:5: SNMP_TRAP: Virtual /Common/test_vs has become unavailable.
-- notice mcpd[4815]: 01071681:5: SNMP_TRAP: Virtual /Common/test_vs has become available.

2. Optionally, if a 'min-up-members' value is configured for the pool, a message similar to the following may be logged in the LTM log, indicating that the number of available pool members became less than the configured value:

-- notice mcpd[4815]: 01070282:3: Number of pool members 2 less than min up members 3.

Conditions:
1. The pool members are all FQDN pool members.
2. The DNS query to resolve pool member FQDNs returns a completely new (non-overlapping) set of IP addresses.
(This causes all existing Ephemeral pool members to be removed and replaced with new Ephemeral pool members.)
3. MCP is very busy and slow to process messages.

Impact:
Under these conditions, existing Ephemeral pool members may be removed before new Ephemeral pool members can be created to replace them, causing the pool member to become temporarily empty. This can result in intermittent loss of availability of the virtual server if all records returned by the DNS server for the referenced FQDN change from the previous response.

Workaround:
None.

803157-2 : LTM log contains shutdown sequence logs after boot_marker as logs are buffered until BIG-IP reboots

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
In reboot case, the BIG-IP system buffers the shutdown sequence log messages and writes them to disk once the syslog service starts during the boot process. The boot_marker message is written before shutdown messages sync to disk. This leads to out-of-sequence log messages, making it difficult to determine when the service stop occurred.

Conditions:
Reboot the BIG-IP system.

Impact:
Log messages appear out of order. It is difficult to tell whether service stop happened as part of reboot, or any error during the subsequent boot process.

Workaround:
None.

803109-1 : Source-port preserve-strict configured along with OneConnect may result in zombie forwarding flows

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
Source-port preserve-strict and OneConnect may result in zombie forwarding flows.

Conditions:
-- Source-port is set to preserve-strict.
-- OneConnect configured.

Impact:
Zombie forwarding flows. Over time, the the current allocation count grows and does not return to its prior level when traffic stops.

Workaround:
None.

802889-2 : Problems establishing HA connections on DAGv2 chassis platforms

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:

- HA mirroring is enabled.

Impact:
HA mirroring does not work

Workaround:
None.

802721-3 : Virtual Server iRule does not match an External Data Group key that's 128 characters long

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
Virtual server iRule does not match an External Data Group key that is 128 characters long.

Conditions:
-- A string type External Data Group with a key/value pair whose key is 128 characters long.

-- An iRule using [class match] to get the value from the Data Group.

Impact:
The call to [class match] returns an empty string ("").

Workaround:
None.

802685-1 : Unable to configure performance HTTP virtual server via GUI

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
When creating 'performance HTTP' virtual servers via GUI, the following error is reported:
01070734:3: Configuration error: A Virtual Server(/Common/vfasthttp) cannot be associated with both fasthttp and L4 profile.

Conditions:
Use the GUI to create a virtual server of type Performance (HTTP).

Impact:
Failed to create a 'performance HTTP' virtual server.

Workaround:
Use TMSH to configure the performance HTTP virtual server:
tmsh create ltm virtual vfasthttp destination 1.1.1.1:80 ip-protocol tcp profiles add { fasthttp }

802421-5 : The /var partition may become 100% full requiring manual intervention to clear space

Component: Advanced Firewall Manager

Symptoms:
The /var partition might become completely full on the disk due to files being written to /var/config/rest. This condition may be accompanied by console error messages similar to the following:
011d0004:3: Disk partition /var (slot #) has only 0% free on secondary blade.

Additionally, there may be periodic restjavad and bigd daemons restarts related to disk space exhaustion.

Conditions:
Process traffic while DoS Dashboard is open

Impact:
The partition housing /var/config/rest may become 100% full, impacting future disk IO to the partition.

Workaround:
Important: This workaround is temporary, and may need to be periodically performed either manually or from a script.

Impact of Workaround: While these steps are performed, the BIG-IP REST API will be temporarily inaccessible, and higher disk IO may be seen.

Run the following commands, in sequence:

bigstart stop restjavad
rm -rf /var/config/rest/storage*.zip
rm -rf /var/config/rest/*.tmp
bigstart start restjavad

Manual application of these workaround steps clears the 100% utilized space condition and allows the partition to resume normal operation.

802381-1 : Localdb authentication fails

Component: Access Policy Manager

Symptoms:
In Active / Standby setup, user authentication fails after failover occurs.

Conditions:
-- APM configured in Active / Standby setup.
-- Per-session policy configured with Localdb Auth .
-- Failover occurs.

Impact:
APM end users are unable to authenticate.

Workaround:
Restart localdbmgr on the new active device, using the following command:
# bigstart restart localdbmgr

802281-2 : Gossip shows active even when devices are missing

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
Gossip appears Active even when one or more devices go missing from device group. 'restcul shared/gossip' shows active on both devices, even when the devices are not listed in 'restcurl shared/resolver/device-groups/tm-shared-allBIG-IPs/devices'.

Conditions:
The conditions under which this issue occurs are unknown. This is an intermittent issue.

Impact:
Gossip reports that it is working when it is not.

Workaround:
-- If the missing device is the active device, run the following command on the Active DSC Device:

restcurl -X POST -d '{}' tm/shared/bigip-failover-state

-- If the missing device is the standby device, reboot the device, make it active, and then run the following command:

restcurl -X POST -d '{}' tm/shared/bigip-failover-state

802189-1 : iApps: Calling 'Package Require <PKG>' in a template with a manager role is not supported

Component: iApp Technology

Symptoms:
With the Manager role, when calling 'package require <PKG>' in an iApp template, following exception occurs:

Error parsing template:can't eval proc: "script::run" invalid command name "file" while executing "file join $dir $f".

Conditions:
Users can not use Manager Role when importing iApps that contain a 'package require' call.

Impact:
Cannot use Manager Role when importing iApps that contain a 'package require' call.

Workaround:
Use the Admin role to import new templates.

801705-5 : When inserting a cookie or a cookie attribute, BIG-IP does not add a leading space, required by RFC

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
The 'HTTP::cookie attribute' irule command allows manipulation of Cookie or Set-Cookie headers in HTTP requests or responses. When this command is used to insert a cookie attribute, it appends the attribute (and a possible value) to the header without a leading space character. A leading space character is a requirement per RFC 6265. When such a header is formed with iRule command 'HTTP::cookie insert' or 'HTTP::cookie attribute insert', the leading space is not provided, violating the RFC.

Conditions:
-- A virtual server with HTTP profile is configured.
-- There is an iRule generating or updating a cookie header with 'HTTP::cookie insert' or 'HTTP::cookie attribute insert' command.

Impact:
There is no space preceding the attribute. RFC is violated.

Workaround:
When inserting a cookie attribute with iRule command, add a leading space to the name of attribute to be inserted.

801497 : Virtual wire with LACP pinning to one link in trunk.

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
A virtual-wire that uses interface trunks may use a single interface on egress.

Conditions:
Virtual-wire configured across multi-interface trunks.

Impact:
This may lead to unexpected link saturation.

Workaround:
None.

800453-4 : False positive virus violations

Component: Application Security Manager

Symptoms:
False positive ASM virus violations.

Conditions:
Specific connection characteristics between ASM and the antivirus server may cause replies from the antivirus server to be missed by the ASM. ASM reports a virus when the antivirus reply is timed out.

Impact:
False positive blocking or violation reporting.

Workaround:
The EnableASMByPass internal parameter setting can be configured to allow the antivirus server to not reply, so it won't issue a violation when it occurs.

/usr/share/ts/bin/add_del_internal add EnableASMByPass 1
bigstart restart asm

Notes:
When the internal is enabled, asm will also bypass huge HTTP requests (when they come on multiple connections) instead of reseting them.

800265-3 : Undefined subroutine in bigip_add_appliance_helper message

Component: Global Traffic Manager (DNS)

Symptoms:
When using the -a switch with bigip_add (which instructs bigip_add to use bigip_add_appliance_helper), the script terminates with an error:
Undefined subroutine &gtm_env::get_unique_certs called at /usr/local/bin/bigip_add_appliance_helper line 113.

Conditions:
Use the bigip_add script with the -a switch in appliance mode.

Impact:
BIG-IP_add fails in appliance mode, reporting an error message.

Workaround:
None.

800209-2 : The tmsh recursive list command includes DDoS GUI-specific data info

Component: Advanced Firewall Manager

Symptoms:
DDoS GUI-specific data is included when running the command: tmsh recursive list. This irrelevant information might cause confusion.

Conditions:
This occurs when the AFM module is enabled

Impact:
Extra, irrelevant data is provided in output, which can cause confusion.

Workaround:
This always happens as long as AFM is enabled. You can deprovision the AFM module to disable this command.

800185-5 : Saving a large encrypted UCS archive may fail and might trigger failover

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
-- When saving a very large encrypted UCS file, you may encounter an error:

# tmsh save /sys ucs my_ucs passphrase <mysecret>
Saving active configuration...
Can't fork at /usr/local/bin/im line 305.
/var/tmp/configsync.spec: Error creating package

-- If saving UCS is automated you may find related errors in /var/log/audit:

err scriptd[45342]: 014f0013:3: Script (/Common/f5.automated_backup__backup) generated this Tcl error: (script did not successfully complete: (UCS saving process failed. while executing "tmsh::save /sys ucs $fname ))

-- Other services might be restarted due to lack of memory, which might result in failover.

--System management via config utility or command line may be sluggish while UCS saves.

Conditions:
-- Large encrypted UCS files and low free host memory.

-- UCS file sizes in hundreds of MB are much more likely to encounter this issue, along with free memory less than 1 GB.

Impact:
The operation uses at least 1.3 times the UCS file size of RAM. The UCS may not get saved correctly, and if not enough memory is available, low free-memory symptoms become apparent.

The latter may result in services being killed to free memory, resulting in service impact and failover, though it is quite typical for the overly large process saving the UCS to be terminated with no other impact.

Workaround:
A mitigation is to minimise UCS file size. UCS files large enough to encounter this issue typically contain very large files, some of which may not be needed or are no longer necessary.

Remove unnecessary large files from directories that contribute to UCS archives, for example, stray, large files such as packet captures in /config or its subdirectories. (For help understanding what is in UCS archives, see K12278: Removing non-essential files from a UCS when disk space errors are encountered :: https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K12278.)

If using APM, remove unnecessary EPSEC ISO files. (For more information, see K21175584: Removing unnecessary OPSWAT EPSEC packages from the BIG-IP APM system :: https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K21175584.

799649-1 : TMM crash

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:

799001-2 : Sflow agent does not handle disconnect from SNMPD manager correctly

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
If Sflow agent loses the connection with the SNMPD Manager, it tries to connect multiple times but fails to reconnect.

Conditions:
Sflow agent loses connection with the SNMPD Manager. The conditions that may trigger this are unknown.

Impact:
Snmpd service restarts repeatedly

Workaround:
Run 'tmsh restart sys service sflow_agent' to clear the session data in the sflow agent which results in successful re-connection with snmpd.

798893-2 : Changes to a webacceleration profile are not instantly applied to virtual servers using the profile

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
Changing parameters in a webacceleration profile does not change the behavior of virtual servers already using the profile.

Conditions:
This issue is encountered after changing the settings of a webacceleration profile already in use by one or more virtual servers.

Impact:
The changes are saved correctly and are visible in the WebUI, TMSH, etc. However, virtual servers already using the profile are not affected by the changes. This may result in some confusion and in the BIG-IP Administrator unable to apply their desired changes.

Workaround:
After modifying the profile, remove the profile from all virtual servers and then re-add it.

798261-1 : APMD fails to create session variables if spanning is enabled on SWG transparent virtual server

Component: Access Policy Manager

Symptoms:
The following logs showed up in APM log and user session was terminated.

Jun 13 09:56:35 F5-i4600 notice apmd[4562]: 01490248:5: /Common/Phase1-fwproxy:Common:6833364e: Received client info - Hostname: Type: Mozilla Version: 5 Platform: Win8.1 CPU: x64 UI Mode: Full Javascript Support: 1 ActiveX Support: 0 Plugin Support: 0

The SET command failed because it incorrectly attempted to create session variable in all traffic groups.

Conditions:
1. Virtual address for SWG transparent is 0.0.0.0
2. Spanning on the virtual address is enabled.

Impact:
User sessions will be terminated

Workaround:
Disable virtual address spanning.

798105-2 : Node Connection Limit Not Honored

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
Connection limits on nodes are not honored.

Conditions:
A node with connection limits set.

Impact:
More traffic will pass to the node than the limit is supposed to allow.

Workaround:
Modify the node's limit after the node is created and it will start honoring the limit.

797977-2 : Self-IP traffic does not preserve the TTL from the Linux host

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
The Egress traffic from TMM has IP TTL set to 255 instead of keeping the TTL from the Linux host.

Conditions:
IP/IPv6 TTL for host traffic.

Impact:
Tools like traceroute do not work because Linux host rejects the packets.

Workaround:
Adjust TTL verification restrictions

797829-1 : The BIG-IP system may fail to deploy new iApps or to reconfigure existing iApps.

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
The BIG-IP system may fail to deploy new iApps or to reconfigure existing iApps. When this happens, a long error message is displayed in the GUI that begins with:

script did not successfully complete: ('source-addr' unexpected argument while executing

The message is also logged to /var/log/audit by scriptd with a severity of 'notice'.

The unexpected argument mentioned in the error varies depending on the iApp being deployed and on the settings you configure. You may also see 'snatpool', 'ldap', etc.

Conditions:
This issue occurs when:

-- The BIG-IP system is configured with multiple users of varying roles.

-- The scriptd daemon has already spawned the maximum number (5) of allowed child processes to serve its queue, and all the processes were assigned a low 'security context'. This can happen, for instance, if a low-privileged user (such as an Auditor) has been looking at the configuration of iApps using the GUI a lot.

-- Subsequentially, a high-privileged user (such as an Administrator) attempts to deploy a new iApp or reconfigure an existing one.

Note: You can inspect the number of child processes already created by scriptd by running the following command:

pstree -a -p -l | grep scriptd | grep -v grep

However, it is not possible to determine their current 'security context'.

Impact:
New iApps cannot be deployed. Existing iApps cannot be re-configured.

Workaround:
Restart scriptd. To restart scriptd, run:

bigstart restart scriptd

Running this command has no negative impact on the system.

The workaround is not permanent; the issue may occasionally recur depending on your system usage.

797609-1 : Creating or modifying some virtual servers to use an address or port list may result in a warning message

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
Creating or modifying a virtual server with TCP or UDP profiles to use an address or port list may result in an error similar to:

01070096:3: Virtual server /Common/vs lists profiles incompatible with its protocol.

Conditions:
-- Configure virtual server using a TCP or UDP profile.
-- Attempt to attach an address or port list to the virtual server.

Impact:
Unable to configure a virtual server to use an address or port list.

Workaround:
Create a traffic-matching-criteria object manually, and associated it with the virtual server.

Note: The protocol of the traffic-matching-criteria object must match that of the virtual server.

797221-2 : BCM daemon can be killed by watchdog timeout during blade-to-blade failover

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
The BCM daemon deletes entries from tables during blade to blade failover. If tables are very large, the entry-by-entry deletion may take too long, such that the daemon is restarted by the watchdog timeout.

Conditions:
Very large L2 tables during blade-to-blade failover.

Impact:
There is a BCM core file on the primary blade after the failover.

Workaround:
None.

796993-5 : Ephemeral FQDN pool members status changes are not logged in /var/log/ltm logs

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
When a pool contains FQDN nodes as pool members, pool member state changes messages are not logged in /var/log/ltm.

Conditions:
-- Create a pool with fqdn node as it pool members
-- Apply monitor to it
-- Monitor marks the pool member up/down based on reachability

Impact:
-- Status message is not updated in /var/log/ltm logs.
-- There is no functional impact.

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
On a high availability (HA) paired device group configuration, where there are FQDN nodes as pool members in a pool, when the pool member is enabled or disabled on one device, and with config-sync, the other device does not fully update the peer. The template node gets updated with the new value, but the ephemeral pool member retains the old value.

Conditions:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure HA, specifically a Device group (e.g., Failover) with two BIG-IP systems.
2. Create an HTTP pool (TEST_FQDN_POOL) and FQDN Pool Member on both systems.
3. Wait for the FQDN pool member to report as AVAIL_GREEN and the ephemeral node as AVAIL_BLUE on both systems.
4. Tmsh login to any of the systems.
5. Run the command:
tmsh run cm config-sync to-group Failover
6. Run the command:
tmsh modify ltm pool TEST_FQDN_POOL members modify { example.com:http { session user-disabled } }
7. Run the command:
tmsh run cm config-sync force-full-load-push to-group Failover

Workaround:
None.

790949-1 : MRF Router Profile parameters 'Maximum Pending Bytes' and 'Maximum Pending Messages' Do Not Match Behavior.

Component: Service Provider

Symptoms:
Default values differ between tmsh and GUI documentation, and actual behavior. The special value 0 is documented to either disable the respective limit or apply a default value. Actual behavior for 0 is to silently apply internal default values of 32768 bytes and 256 messages, regardless of the protocol. These defaults might not match the profile default values for a given MRF protocol such as Diameter, SIP, or MQTT.

For some protocols such as Diameter, there is no validation of whether the maximum pending messages value falls within the acceptable range of 1-65535, and values outside that range are silently truncated to 16-bits and then 0 is treated according to the actual behavior described above.

Some documented and actual default values have changed across releases.

Conditions:
An MRF router profile is configured with the 'Maximum Pending Bytes' or 'Maximum Pending Messages' parameter set to a non-default value or 0.

Affected MRF router profiles are: 'diameter', 'sip', 'mqtt' and 'generic'.

Impact:
Depending on the protocol, the limits might not take effect as configured.

Incorrect documentation and/or lack of validation could lead to configuring an invalid value.

Workaround:
None.

-- AVR-related widgets are created or modified.

Impact:
Devices go into a non-synced state.

Workaround:
None.

787853-1 : BIG-IP responds incorrectly to ICMP echo requests when virtual server flaps.

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
The BIG-IP system unexpectedly responds to ICMP echo requests to a virtual-address that is unavailable, or unexpectedly does not respond to ICMP echo requests to a virtual-address that is available.

The BIG-IP system fails to remove a dynamic route for a virtual-address that is unavailable or fails to add a dynamic route for a virtual-address that is available.

Conditions:
1. Create two virtual servers with multiple nodes. Set ICMP echo as all or selective/all.
2. Ping from client to virtual address.
3. Bring down nodes.
4. ping fails from client to virtual address as expected
5. Bring up nodes and make sure all virtual servers are online.
6. Start ping from client to virtual address.

Impact:
The BIG-IP system might respond incorrectly to ICMP echo requests sent to a virtual-address.

-- If the virtual-address icmp-echo is set to 'all' or 'any', the BIG-IP system may not respond correctly after a virtual-address availability change.

-- If the virtual-address route-advertisement is set to 'all' or 'any', the route for the virtual-address may not advertise properly after a virtual-address availability change.

The BIG-IP system might fail to insert or remove a dynamic route for a virtual-address. This might cause the network to direct traffic to a down virtual-address or alternatively, not direct traffic to an up virtual-address.

Workaround:
Update virtual address ICMP setting to any or selective/any.

To work around this, do the following:
-- Configure bigTCP virtual server not to use source-NAT.
-- Configure destination-IP for hashing in server-vlan (the external VLAN that has the virtual server).

783233-3 : OAuth puts quotation marks around claim values that are not string type

Component: Access Policy Manager

Symptoms:
When you define a claim to use with OAuth, and the claim-type setting is set to something other than String, the claim value is treated as a string anyway and encapsulated in quotation marks.

Conditions:
-- OAuth is configured.
-- The oauth claim value being used is not of type string (i.e. array, or boolean, or number)

Impact:
The claim value is encapsulated in quotation marks and processed as a string.

Workaround:
None.

783145-5 : Pool gets disabled when one of its pool member with monitor session is disabled

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
A pool which has at least two pool members and one of its pool members associated with a monitor is disabled, the entire pool gets marked disabled-by-parent.

Conditions:
-- Monitor assigned to a single pool member.
-- That member is manually disabled.

Impact:
The pool status for the entire pool is marked disabled-by-parent.

Workaround:
None.

783125-1 : iRule drop command on DNS traffic without Datagram-LB may cause TMM crash

Component: Global Traffic Manager (DNS)

Symptoms:
The TMM may crash and restart when an iRule on a DNS virtual server performs the 'drop' command while the BIG-IP system is handling both a DNS request and DNS response at the same time for the same DNS client IP and port without UDP Datagram-LB.

Conditions:
-- The BIG-IP instance has two or more TMM processes as a result of having two or more physical cores or virtual CPUs.
-- A virtual server with both DNS and UDP profiles and one or more iRules.
-- The UDP profile has Datagram LB disabled.
-- The iRules have a 'drop' command.
-- The iRules have a DNS_REQUEST and/or DNS_RESPONSE event with an iRule command that require coordinating data with another TMM on the system, such as the 'table' command.

Impact:
TMM crash or restart. Traffic impacted. Traffic disrupted while tmm restarts.

Workaround:
F5 strongly recommends using a UDP profile with Datagram-LB enabled for DNS UDP virtual servers.

Alternatively, replace the 'drop' command with DNS::drop in DNS_REQUEST and DNS_RESPONSE events, or with UDP::drop in other iRule events.

See the respective references pages for DNS::drop and UDP::drop for the Valid Events each iRule command is available in:
https://clouddocs.f5.com/api/irules/DNS__drop.html
https://clouddocs.f5.com/api/irules/UDP__drop.html

782613-6 : Security firewall policy in an iApp not deleted on config sync peer with the rest of a deleted iApp

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
If a security firewall policy is part of an iApp inside a folder created by that iApp, then when the iApp is deleted, any config sync peer will not delete the policy when it deletes the rest of the iApp.

Conditions:
-- iApp with folder and security firewall policy is deleted.
-- High availability (HA) config sync configuration.

Impact:
The security policy is gone on the system where the iApp was initially deleted, but the peer still has that object, and it can't be deleted because it's part of an iApp.

Workaround:
None.

782353-5 : SIP MRF via header shows TCP Transport when TLS is enabled

Component: Service Provider

Symptoms:
When an SSL Client Profile (TLS) is enabled on a SIP Message-Routing Virtual Server, the via header shows an incorrect transport protocol when SIP messages are sent out the client side of MRF. For example, the via header contains 'SIP/2.0/TCP' or 'SIP/2.0/UDP', when it should read 'SIP/2.0/TLS'.

Conditions:
Sending SIP messages from the client side of the SIP MRF when an SSL client profile is enabled on the SIP Message-Routing virtual server.

Impact:
The via header is not correct and violates the SIP RFC.

Workaround:
Create an iRule that replaces the incorrect via header with a correct one, for example:

when SIP_REQUEST_SEND {
    if { [clientside] } {
        SIP::header replace Via [string map [list "SIP/2.0/TCP " "SIP/2.0/TLS " "SIP/2.0/UDP " "SIP/2.0/TLS "] [SIP::header Via 0]] 0

    }
}

781849-1 : On-Demand Certificate Authentication agent for Per-Request Policy does not work with multiple Client SSL profiles that have the 'Default SSL Profile for SNI' option disabled and assigned to a single Virtual Server

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
After the client certificate has been provided, the browser waits for a response within a few minutes and then displays the error 'Page cannot be displayed'. At the same time you can watch the following informational messages in the /var/log/apm events log file:
info tmm[12245]: 01870000:6: /Common/app1.example.com:Common:dd1d4e4f: Executed agent (/Common/app1.example.com_On-Demand-CRLDP_ondemand_cert_auth_act_ondemand_cert_auth_ag) with return status (Need more data)

Conditions:
BIG-IP system is configured as Identity Aware Application Proxy for multiple application access, that may require On-Demand Client Certificate Authentication by using different Client SSL profiles.

The following is a sample scenario:

-- There are 3 web-application (app1.example.com, app2.example.com, app3.example.com) that are located behind the BIG-IP system configured as Identity Aware Application Proxy (by means of using Per-Request Access policy).
-- app1.example.com and app2.example.com are configured to require On-Demand Client Certificate Authentication as primary authentication method.
-- Each application requires a separate Client SSL profile with separate Client Authentication options specified.
-- Client SSL profile for app1.example.com application has 'Default for SNI' option enabled.

In this case, all authentication requests to app2.example.com fail, even if a trusted certificate is provided.

Impact:
On-Demand Certificate Authentication fail, even if a trusted client certificate is provided.

Workaround:
Use a single Client SSL profile with a single certificate, where the Subject Alternative Name extension lists fully qualified domain names of all applications, protected by Identity Aware Application Proxy.

781829-5 : GTM TCP monitor does not check the RECV string if server response string not ending with \n

Component: Global Traffic Manager (DNS)

Symptoms:
GTM TCP monitor marks resource down.

Conditions:
TCP server respond string not ending with '\n'.

Impact:
Available resources are marked down.

Workaround:
If the TCP server is sending a text response, reconfigure the server to make sure it terminates the output with '\n'.

If the TCP server can not be changed (for example if it produces binary output), it may be possible to create an external gtm monitor instead.

781733-1 : SNMPv3 user name configuration allows illegal names to be entered

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
The validation of SNMPv3 user names is not strict, and allows users of both the GUI and TMSH to enter badly formed user names. When the SNMP daemon reads these user names from the snmpd.conf file, validation rejects the names.

Conditions:
Poorly formed SNMPv3 user names can be entered into configuration, for example, names with embedded spaces.

Impact:
The user names are not accepted by the SNMP daemon when it reads the configuration from the snmpd.conf file.

Workaround:
Use alphanumeric characters for SNMPv3 user names, and do not include embedded spaces in the names.

781725-1 : BIG-IP systems might not complete a short ICAP request with a body beyond the preview

Component: Service Provider

Symptoms:
An ICAP request (REQMOD or RESPMOD) body goes out to the ICAP server as far as a preview. If the server responds 100-continue, only a single chunk of the remaining payload might be sent to the server. Eventually the connection times out.

Conditions:
-- An ICAP profile is configured with a preview.
-- The HTTP request or response to be modified has a body that is more than one chunk longer than the preview length, yet short enough to be completely buffered in BIG-IP system before the preview is sent to the ICAP server.
-- The ICAP server responds with 100-continue.

Impact:
Only the first chunk of payload is sent after the preview, and eventually the connection times out.

Workaround:
None.

781581-2 : Monpd uses excessive memory on requests for network_log data

Component: Application Visibility and Reporting

Symptoms:
Monpd allocates excessive memory on multi-blade devices, and in some cases the kernel may kill monpd. The following log signature may be encountered in /var/log/kern.log:

err kernel: : [1537424.588160] Out of memory: Kill process 28371 (monpd) score 117 or sacrifice child

Conditions:
This can occur in a multi-blade BIG-IP environment when you are displaying pages that query for network_log data, for example Bot Defense requests in the event log, or realtime AVR data.

Impact:
Large fluctuations in host memory usage, occasionally leading to OOM events.

Workaround:
None.

781425-1 : Firewall rule list configuration causes config load failure

Component: Advanced Firewall Manager

Symptoms:
'tmsh load sys config' has a syntax error.

The syntax error is reported on 'security firewall rule-list rule' configuration.

Conditions:
This occurs only if any of the rule-list rule ip-protocol contains one of the following protocols:

-- BBN-RCC-MON
-- NVP-II
-- DCN-MEAS
-- OSPFIGP
-- CRUDP

Impact:
The system fails to load the configuration.

Workaround:
Manually edit the configuration file: /config/bigip_base.conf

1. Replace the ip-protocol name from rule-list configuration:

-- Change BBN-RCC-MON to bbn-rcc.
-- Change NVP-II to nvp.
-- Change DCN-MEAS to dcn.
-- Change OSPFIGP to ospf.
-- Change CRUDP to crudp.

2. Save the file.
3. Issue the command:
tmsh load sys config.

The configuration now loads without syntax errors.

781041-2 : SIP monitor in non default route domain is not working.

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
SIP pool members in non-default route domain are being marked as unavailable even though they are available.

Conditions:
SIP pool members in non default route domain.

Impact:
SIP service unavailable.

781021-1 : ASM modifies cookie header causing it to be non-compliant with RFC6265

Component: Application Security Manager

Symptoms:
When ASM strips the cookie header from the ASM cookies, it leaves the cookie header in a way that is not compliant with RFC6265 on two aspects:
1. No space after the semicolon
2. A cookie with no value is sent without the equals sign

Conditions:
-- ASM Security Policy is used
-- Request includes an ASM cookie

Impact:
Some web servers may refuse to handle non-compliant Cookie headers, causing the application flow to break.

Workaround:
Disable the cookie stripping by modifying the DB variable as follows:
tmsh modify sys db asm.strip_asm_cookies value false

780837-2 : Firewall rule list configuration causes config load failure

Component: Advanced Firewall Manager

Symptoms:
'tmsh load sys config' reports a syntax error.

The syntax error is reported on 'security firewall rule-list rule' configuration.

Conditions:
This occurs only if any of the rule-list rule ip-protocol contains one of the following protocols:

Note: You can see the mismatched protocol names in the /etc/protocols listing file (column 1 and column 3 differ):

bbn-rcc 10 BBN-RCC-MON # BBN RCC Monitoring
nvp 11 NVP-II # Network Voice Protocol
dcn 19 DCN-MEAS # DCN Measurement Subsystems
ospf 89 OSPFIGP # Open Shortest Path First IGP
crdup 127 CRUDP # Combat Radio User Datagram

Impact:
The system fails to load the configuration.

780437-1 : Upon rebooting a VIPRION chassis provisioned as a vCMP host, some vCMP guests can return online with no configuration.

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
It is possible, although unlikely, for a vCMP host to scan the /shared/vmdisks directory for virtual disk files while the directory is unmounted.

As such, virtual disk files that existed before the reboot will not be detected, and the vCMP host will proceed to create them again.

The virtual disks get created again, delaying the guests from booting. Once the guests finally boot, they have no configuration.

Additionally, the new virtual disk files are created on the wrong disk device, as /shared/vmdisks is still unmounted.

Symptoms for this issue include:

-- Running the 'mount' command on affected host blades and noticing that /shared/vmdisks is not mounted.

-- Running the 'tmsh show vcmp guest' command on affected host blades (early on after the reboot) and noticing some guests have status 'installing-vdisk'.

-- Running the 'lsof' command on affected and unaffected host blades shows different device numbers for the filesystem hosting the virtual disks, as shown in the following example (note 253,16 and 253,1):

qemu-kvm 19386 qemu 15u REG 253,16 161061273600 8622659 /shared/vmdisks/s1g2.img

qemu-kvm 38655 qemu 15u REG 253,1 161061273600 2678798 /shared/vmdisks/s2g1.img

-- The /var/log/ltm file includes entries similar to the following example, indicating new virtual disks are being created for one of more vCMP guests:

info vcmpd[x]: 01510007:6: VDisk (s2g1.img/2): Adding.
info vcmpd[x]: 01510007:6: VDisk (s2g1.img/2): Syncing with MCP - [filename:s2g1.img slot:2 installed_os:0 state:0]
notice vcmpd[x]: 01510006:5: Guest (s2g1): Creating VDisk (/shared/vmdisks/s2g1.img)
info vcmpd[x]: 01510007:6: VDisk (s2g1.img/2): Syncing with MCP - [filename:s2g1.img slot:2 installed_os:0 state:1]
info vcmpd[x]: 01510007:6: Guest (s2g1): VS_ACQUIRING_VDISK->VS_WAITING_INSTALL
info vcmpd[x]: 01510007:6: Guest (s2g1): VS_WAITING_INSTALL->VS_INSTALLING_VDISK
notice vcmpd[x]: 01510006:5: Guest (s2g1): Installing image (/shared/images/BIGIP-12.1.2.0.0.249.iso) to VDisk (/shared/vmdisks/s2g1.img).
info vcmpd[x]: 01510007:6: VDisk (s2g1.img/2): Syncing with MCP - [filename:s2g1.img slot:2 installed_os:0 state:2]

Conditions:
-- VIPRION chassis provisioned in vCMP mode with more than one blade in it.

-- Large configuration with many guests.

-- The VIPRION chassis is rebooted.

-- A different issue, of type 'Configuration from primary failed validation' occurs during startup on one or more Secondary blades. By design, MCPD restarts once on affected Secondary blades, which is the trigger for this issue. An example of such a trigger issue is Bug ID 563905: Upon rebooting a multi-blade VIPRION or vCMP guest, MCPD can restart once on Secondary blades.

Impact:
-- Loss of entire configuration on previously working vCMP guests.

-- The /shared/vmdisks directory, in its unmounted state, may not have sufficient disk space to accommodate all the virtual disks for the vCMP guests designated to run on that blade. As such, some guests may fail to start.

-- If you continue using the affected guests by re-deploying configuration to them, further configuration loss may occur after a new chassis reboot during which this issue does not happen. This occurs because the guests would then be using the original virtual disk files; however, their configuration may have changed since then, and so some recently created objects may be missing.

Workaround:
There is no workaround to prevent this issue. However, you can minimize the risk of hitting this issue by ensuring you are running a software version (on the host system) where all known 'Configuration from primary failed validation' issues have been resolved.

If you believe you are currently affected by this issue, please contact F5 Networks Technical Support for assistance in recovering the original virtual disk files.

779793-1 : [LC] Error Message "Cannot modify the destination address of monitor" for destination * bigip_link monitor

Component: Global Traffic Manager (DNS)

Symptoms:
Using BIG-IP Link Controller (LC), every 10 seconds, the system logs messages similar to the following example:
-- err mcpd[5570]: 0107082c:3: Cannot modify the destination address of monitor /Common/_user_gslbMonitor_bigipLink_fast_60sec.
-- err mcpd[5570]: 01071488:3: Remote transaction for device group /Common/gtm to commit id 1 6681134264373087063 /Common/ELC002.kbn.mlit.go.jp 0 failed with error 0107082c:3: Cannot modify the destination address of monitor /Common/_user_gslbMonitor_bigipLink_fast_60sec..

Conditions:
-- A bigip_link monitor with destination * written in bigip_gtm.conf.
-- That monitor is associated with a link.
-- The following command is run on one of the sync group peers:
tmsh load /sys config gtm-only.

Impact:
LC system failing to load configuration.

Workaround:
Run this command on the LC system that is logging the error message:
tmsh load /sys config gtm-only

779769-1 : [LC] [GUI] destination cannot be modified for bigip-link monitors

Component: Global Traffic Manager (DNS)

Symptoms:
The 'destination' for BIG-IP Link Controller (LC) bigip_link monitor cannot be modified through GUI.

Conditions:
Using the LC bigip_link monitor in the GUI.

Impact:
Cannot change 'destination' for LC bigip_link monitor through GUI.

Workaround:
Use tmsh.

779137-1 : Using a source address list for a virtual server does not preserve the destination address prefix

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
Configuring a network virtual server with a source address list causes the system to treat the virtual server as a host.

Conditions:
-- Configure a source address list on the virtual server.
-- Configure a network address for the destination of the virtual server (not an address list).

Impact:
Traffic does not flow to the virtual server as expected.

Workaround:
None.

778517-3 : Large number of in-TMM monitors results in delayed processing

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
A monitor may continue to probe for a while after it has been removed from pool / member / node. Duplicate monitor instances may get created after associating a monitor to a server.

Conditions:
Device has a large number of in-TMM monitors.

Impact:
Monitor target may appear down when responding correctly.
Monitor may continue to run after removed from pool / member / node.
Increased monitoring load on server.

Workaround:
Disable in-tmm monitors.

778513-2 : APM intermittently drops log messages for per-request policies

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
APM may intermittently drop log messages, leading to missing information on policy execution or other events.

Conditions:
Using APM per-request policies, or ACCESS::log iRule commands.

Impact:
Administrator may fail to report certain logging events, hindering troubleshooting or auditing efforts.

Workaround:
No workaround is possible. When reviewing APM logs, keep in mind that during periods of high activity (greater than 100 log messages in 1-to-2 seconds) that the system may drop some log messages.

778501 : LB_FAILED does not fire on failure of HTTP/2 server connection establishment

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
When the server connection fails to be established due to server being down or actively rejecting the connection, LB_FAILED should fire and allow a new destination to be selected via iRule.

Conditions:
- iRule with LB_FAILED event
- server connection establishment fails

Impact:
Selection of a new destination via LB_FAILED is not possible, thus the client connection will be aborted.

Workaround:
No workaround available.

778365-3 : dns-dot & dns-rev metrics collection set RTT values even though LDNS has no DNS service

Component: Global Traffic Manager (DNS)

Symptoms:
DNS-DOT or DNS-REV protocols are used to collect RTT metrics on the LDNS. If there is DNS service running on the LDNS, RTT metrics should be collected successfully as expected. However if there is no DNS service on the LDNS, there should not be any RTT metrics collected. But BIG-IP still populates the RTT values giving users a "false positive" results.

Conditions:
DNS-DOT or DNS-REV protocols are used to collect RTT metrics on the LDNS and there is no DNS service running on the LDNS.

Impact:
RTT metrics are collected even though no response from the DNS service is present giving users wrong impression that there is.

778317-2 : IKEv2 HA after Standby restart has race condition with config startup

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
A restarted standby system can end up with missing SAs, if the high availability (HA) process that mirrors the SAs from persistent storage runs before the configuration of IPsec has completed.

Conditions:
The loss of mirrored SAs requires this sequence of events:
-- A system becomes standby after failover; then is restarted.
-- During restart, HA manages to run before IPsec configuration.
-- SAs unsupported by current config are lost despite mirroring.
-- After another failover, the newly active system is missing SAs.

Impact:
A tunnel outage can occur (until SAs are renegotiated) after failover, if the newly active system lost some mirrored SAs when it was restarted while still acting as the standby system.

The impact cannot be observed until standby becomes active, when the missing SAs require a new key negotiation.

Workaround:
None.

778225-2 : vCMP guests don't have the f5_api_com key and certificate installed when licensed by vCMP host

Component: Protocol Inspection

Symptoms:
Automatic hitless upgrade for protocol inspection fails on vCMP guests. This occurs because vCMP guest don't install f5_api_com key and certificates.

Conditions:
After licensing a vCMP guest, there is no f5_api_com key or certificate (you can run key_cache_path and crt_cache_path to determine that).

Impact:
Hitless upgrade fails for protocol inspection and traffic classification on vCMP guests.

Workaround:
Install the hitless upgrade IM package manually.

778125-2 : LDAP remote authentication passwords are limited to fewer than 64 bytes

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
The LDAP remote authentication password is limited to fewer than 64 bytes.

Conditions:
Configured for remote authentication with a password is longer than or equal to 64 bytes.

Impact:
Unable to login as remote-user with long password.

Workaround:
Set password that is shorter than 64 bytes.

778041-2 : tcpdump fails with an unclear message when the 'epva' option is used on non-epva platforms (directly or through 'all' option)

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
When tcpdump is invoked with the epva option on a non-epva platform (BIG-IP Virtual Edition, for example), it fails with an unclear message

errbuf:DPT Provider fatal error. Provider:ePVA Provider. No valid arguments.

Conditions:
-- Using a non-epva platform such as VE.
-- Calling the epva option:
+ Directly:
tcpdump -i 0.0 --f5 epva
+ Indirectly using 'all' (which includes epva):
tcpdump -i 0.0 --f5 all

Impact:
Unclear message does not give clear indication what the issue is, or how to get tcpdump to run with the 'all' option on non-epva platforms

Workaround:
Do not use the explicit epva option on non-epva platforms (it does not work anyway, as there is no epva debug information on those platforms).

Instead of 'all', explicitly specify other, non-epva providers on such platforms, for example, specifying 'noise' and 'ssl' providers:
tcpdump -i 0.0 --f5 n,ssl

777993-1 : Egress traffic to a trunk is pinned to one link for TCP/UDP traffic when L4 source port and destination port are the same

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
Egress TCP/UDP traffic with same L4 source port and destination port to an external trunk is pinned to one link only.

Conditions:
This happens on BIG-IP hardware platforms with broadcom switch chip, so BIG-IP 2000/4000 and i2000/i4000 series are not impacted.

Impact:
Performance degradation as only a portion of the trunk bandwidth is utilized.

Workaround:
None.

777389-2 : In a corner case, for PostgreSQL monitor MCP process restarts

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
MCP expects a monitoring response from SQL server and starts polling for data continuously, resulting in infinite loop.

Conditions:
In one of the corner cases of SQL monitoring, MCP expects to read monitoring data from the PostgreSQL server, but there is no data available to read.

Impact:
MCPD goes into an infinite loop and skips the heartbeat report, resulting in its restart. While MCPD is restarting, the system is offline and does not process traffic. After restart, system operation returns to normal.

Workaround:
None.

776489-1 : Remote authentication attempts to resolve only LDAP host against the first three name servers configured.

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
'Login failed' is displayed on the BIG-IP system's login screen.

Conditions:
-- Remote authentication is enabled.
-- There are more than three name servers configured.

Impact:
Admins may not be able to log into the BIG-IP GUI with their admin user account if the first 3 configured DNS name servers are not reachable.

Workaround:
None.

776393-1 : Memory leak in restjavad causing restjavad to restart frequently with OOM

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
Restjavad frequently (approximately every 5 minutes) restarting due to OutOfMemory:Java heap space with no extra memory.

Conditions:
-- BIG-IP system with no extra memory given to restjavad.
-- The configuration contains a large number of configuration items related to APM access-policies, APM policy-items, APM policy agents, LTM nodes, LTM rules, DNS Requests, sys application services, LTM data-groups, LTM profiles, security bot-defense profiles, and sys file ssl-certs.

Impact:
REST API intermittently unavailable.

Workaround:
Give restjavad extra memory. This is two-step process.

1. Update memory allocated to the control plane using TMUI. System :: Resource Provisioning. The line for Management has a drop-down box for Small, Medium, or Large. The resulting sizes for restjavad is 192, 352, and 592, respectively. Set this to Large.

2. Run the following two commands, in sequence:
tmsh modify sys db restjavad.useextramb value true
bigstart restart restjavad

776229-1 : iRule 'pool' command no longer accepts pool members with ports that have a value of zero

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
Values of 0 (zero) are no longer accepted for pool member ports in iRule 'pool' commands. The system reports an error similar to the following in /var/log/ltm:

err tmm3[12179]: 01220001:3: TCL error: /Common/_user_script_member <CLIENT_ACCEPTED> - bad port in 'pool member <addr> <port>' cmd while executing "pool test_pool member 10.1.30.10 0"

Conditions:
-- Configure an iRule to use the 'pool' command to go to the pool member using a zero port in the CLIENT_ACCEPTED event.
-- Attach the iRule to the virtual server.
-- Run traffic through it.

Impact:
The iRule rejects traffic when the pool member's port number is 0.

Workaround:
Configure any iRule using the 'pool' command to go to apool member using a non-0 port in the CLIENT_ACCEPTED event.

775897-2 : High Availability failover restarts tmipsecd when tmm connections are closed

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
All security associations (SAs) can be deleted when tmipsecd restarts as a result of closing tmm connections during failover from active to standby.

Conditions:
When failover happens for high availability (HA), tmipsecd aims to close tmm connections when on standby, because tmm must connect instead to the daemon running in the active system. But a side effect of this restarts tmipsecd, resulting in deletion of all SAs when tmipsecd came back up.

Impact:
tmipsecd restarts. All IPsec tunnels experience an interruption of service until new SAs are negotiated.

Workaround:
None.

775801-1 : [GTM] [GUI] 'Route Advertisement' checked but not saved when creating GTM listener

Component: Global Traffic Manager (DNS)

Symptoms:
'Route Advertisement' is not enabled even if you check the checkbox.

Conditions:
Creating GTM listener using the GUI.

Impact:
'Route Advertisement' is not enabled.

Workaround:
After the listener is created, modify the listener in the GUI and check the checkbox for 'Route Advertisement', and save.

775733-3 : /etc/qkview_obfuscate.conf not synced across blades

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
By default, sensitive data, such as SSL keys, are excluded from QKView files. However, in some cases you may want to include sensitive information in the QKView file, so it must be obfuscated it for security purposes. (Note: For information on how to configure this feature, see K55559493: Obfuscating sensitive data in a QKView file :: https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K55559493.)

In high availability (HA) configurations, the /etc/qkview_obfuscate.conf file is not copied to secondary blades on chassis platforms during sync operations.

Conditions:
-- Run qkview.
-- Upload qkview file to iHealth.

Impact:
Potentially sensitive information could be uploaded to iHealth or F5 Support. This occurs because qkview acts differently if there is an obfuscate.conf on the active by automatically gathering the same information on the blades, but not obfuscating that sensitive data.

Workaround:
Manually copy /etc/qkview_obfuscate.conf to all blades.

Note: Do not upload sensitive data to iHealth or F5 Support. If you are obfuscating data, make sure to complete this step for every blade.

775621-1 : urldb memory grows past the expected ~3.5GB

Component: Access Policy Manager

Symptoms:
When using the categorization engine (urldb), memory may increase when real-time update databases are downloaded (once every ten minutes, as available).

Conditions:
-- SWG provisioned.
-- Using urldb.
-- Real-time database updates occurring.

Impact:
Memory increases, and if there is not enough room on the BIG-IP system, urldb can core.

Workaround:
None.

Conditions:
Values greater than 32 bits sent to SNMP.

Impact:
SNMP values are truncated. An error message is logged in var/log/daemon.log:

err snmpd[20680]: truncating integer value > 32 bits

Workaround:
No current workaround.

774481-1 : DNS Virtual Server creation problem with Dependency List

Component: Global Traffic Manager (DNS)

Symptoms:
Cannot use the GUI to create virtual servers with dependent virtual server.

Conditions:
This occurs when creating a virtual server that contains a dependent virtual server.

Impact:
Cannot use the GUI to create the virtual server that contains a dependent virtual server in one step.

Workaround:
You can use either of the following workarounds:

-- Use tmsh;
-- Create the virtual server through GUI without dependent virtual server first and then edit the virtual server to add dependency.

774361-4 : IPsec High Availability sync during multiple failover via RFC6311 messages

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
After multiple failover events, BIG-IP can fail to coordinate with a remote peer via RFC6311 protocol messages, whose content can present the wrong message IDs, which are also marshalled in host byte order instead of network byte order.

Conditions:
When active and standby systems failover multiple times, and a newly active system must sync IDs with the newly standby system before exchanging messages with a remote peer to synchronize expected ID sequences.

Impact:
IPsec tunnels experience a temporary outage until new security associations are negotiated.

Workaround:
No workaround is known at this time.

774301-5 : Verification of SAML Requests/Responses digest fails when SAML content uses exclusive XML canonicalization and it contains InclusiveNamespaces with #default in PrefixList

Component: Access Policy Manager

Symptoms:
When the BIG-IP system is configured as SAML IdP or SAML SP processes SAML Requests/Responses, the verification of digital signature fails in certain cases:

err apmd[19684]: 01490000:3: modules/Authentication/Saml/SamlSPAgent.cpp func: "verifyAssertionSignature()" line: 5321 Msg: ERROR: verifying the digest of SAML Response

Conditions:
-- BIG-IP system is configured as SAML IdP or SAML SP.

-- SAML sends the "ArtifactResponse" message with both "ArtifactResponse" and "Assertion" signed.

-- This is also applicable to any SAML requests/responses that are signed:
   a) SAML Authentication Request
   b) SAML Assertion
   c) SAML Artifact Response
   e) SAML SLO Request/Response

Impact:
Output does not match the 'Canonicalized element without Signature' calculated by APM. BIG-IP SAML IdP or SAM SP fails to process SAML Requests/Responses resulting in errors. Cannot deploy APM as SAML SP with Assertion Artifact binding.

Workaround:
None.

774261-2 : PVA client-side current connections stat does not decrease properly

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
When FTP is used with bigproto, the PVA client-side current connections stat does not decrease after connections are closed.

Conditions:
-- Use an FTP virtual server.
-- End user clients connect to the virtual server.

Impact:
An incorrect stat for client-side current connections will be reported for 'tmsh show sys pva-traffic global' and 'tmctl pva_stat'.

Example:

config # tmsh show sys pva-traffic global

-------------------------------------------------
Sys::PVA
-------------------------------------------------
PVA Traffic ClientSide ServerSide
  Bits In 23.6K 219.7K
  Bits Out 219.7K 23.6K

  HW Syncookies Detected 0

config # tmsh show sys conn all-properties

Really display 1000 connections? (y/n) y
Sys::Connections
Total records returned: 0 <--------- No connections; this is the correct state.

Workaround:
This issue does not occur when 'inherit parent profile' is enabled on the FTP profile used by the virtual server.

774257-3 : tmsh show gtm pool and tmsh show gtm wideip print duplicate object types

Component: Global Traffic Manager (DNS)

Symptoms:
Tmsh show gtm pool and show gtm wideip commands with field-fmt will display the object type twice in the output. For example:

tmsh> show gtm pool a field-fmt
gtm pool pool emptypool:A

tmsh> show gtm wideip a field-fmt
gtm wideip wideip testwip.f5.com:A

Conditions:
This occurs when running the following tmsh commands:

tmsh show gtm pool <poolname> field-fmt
tmsh show gtm wideip <wideipname> field-fmt

Impact:
The output type is printed twice

Workaround:
None.

774225-4 : mcpd can get in restart loop if making changes to DNSSEC key on other GTM while the primary GTM is rebooting

Component: Global Traffic Manager (DNS)

Symptoms:
mcpd is in a restart loop after creating an internal DNSSEC FIPS key on a secondary GTM while rebooting the primary DNSSEC key generator GTM (gtm.peerinfolocalid==0).

Conditions:
New DNSSEC internal FIPS key is created and assigned to DNSSEC zone when BIG-IP system with gtm.peerinfolocalid==0 is down.

Impact:
mcpd is in a restart loop.

Workaround:
For maintenance window operations, set DNSSEC peer leader to the unit that will remain UP while rebooting the primary key generator in sync group (gtm.peerinfolocalid==0).

# tmsh modify gtm global-settings general peer-leader <gtm-server-name>

After the reboot is complete, all devices are back up, and everything looks good in the configs, clear the peer-leader setting:

# tmsh modify gtm global-settings general peer-leader none

If there are two GTM units: GTM1 (having gtm.peerinfolocalid == 0), GTM2, and you are going to reboot GTM1, then before rebooting, run the following command to configure the DNSSEC peer-leader setting:

# tmsh modify gtm global-settings general peer-leader GTM2

After reboot, clear the peer-leader setting:

# tmsh modify gtm global-settings general peer-leader none

773821-2 : Certain plaintext traffic may cause SSLO to hang

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
SSLO relies on SSL hudfilter to detect non-SSL traffic; but certain plaintext can be mistaken as SSL traffic, which can cause a hang.

Conditions:
Initial plaintext traffic resembles SSLv2 hello message or has less than enough bytes for SSL to process.

Impact:
SSLO hangs, unable to bypass traffic.

Workaround:
None.

773577-1 : SNMPv3: When a security-name and a username are the same but have different passwords, traps are not properly crafted

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
On an SNMPv3 configuration, when a security-name and a username are the same but have different passwords, traps are not properly crafted.

Conditions:
security-name is the same as an SNMPv3 username.

Impact:
SNMP traps cannot be decoded

Workaround:
Delete or rename user.

773333-1 : IPsec CLI help missing encryption algorithm descriptions

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
Encryption algorithms against IPsec help are not listed in the CLI.

Conditions:
LTM licensed on the BIG-IP.

Impact:
Unable to view the help.

Workaround:
None. The actual command line help should be:

(/Common)(tmos)# create net ipsec ike-peer test version add { v2 } phase1-encrypt-algorithm ?

Specifies the encryption algorithm used for the isakmp phase 1 negotiation. This directive must be defined. Possible value is one of following:
3des, aes128, aes192, aes256, blowfish, camellia, cast128, des

Note: The values blowfish, cast128, and camellia are v1 only.

773309-1 : API Profile: Real swagger can not be loaded with "transaction failed:incomplete command" error message

Component: Access Policy Manager

Symptoms:
When uploading a valid swagger file (OpenAPI version 2.0) to create an API Protection profile, the operation fails with an error message:
info: [AccessDeployConfigWorker] Error in submitting transaction: Error: transaction failed:incomplete command.

Conditions:
The swagger file contains quotation marks that are not escaped, e.g., the swagger file has description fields similar to the following examples.

JSON:
"description": "this quote \" will error"

YAML:
description: 'this quote " will error'

Impact:
The operation produces the error. This prevents the API Protection profile from being created using the swagger file, which is very inconvenient. This error also affects the AGC API Protection use case.

Workaround:
You can manually add the escape characters to the swagger file so that this error does not occur. Using the examples for JSON and YAML, this is how to fix them:

JSON:
"description": "this quote \\\" won't error"

YAML:
description: 'this quote \" won't error'

773253-4 : The BIG-IP may send VLAN failsafe probes from a disabled blade

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
The BIG-IP system sends multicast ping from a disabled blade. tmm core

Conditions:
-- There is one or more blades disabled on the VIPRION platform.
-- VLAN failsafe is enabled on one or more VLANs.
-- the VLAN failsafe-action is set to 'failover'.
-- There is more than one blade installed in the chassis or vCMP guest.

Impact:
The BIG-IP system sends unexpected multicast ping requests from a disabled blade.

Workaround:
To mitigate this issue, restart tmm on the disabled blade. This causes tmm to stop sending the multicast traffic.

Impact of workaround: Traffic disrupted while tmm restarts.

773229-1 : Replacing a virtual server's FastL4 profile can cause traffic to fail in specific circumstances

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
If a virtual server starts with a FastL4 profile with an idle_timeout of zero, and this profile is then replaced with one that has a non-zero idle_timeout, it can cause traffic to fail with a 'No flow found for ACK' error in the RST packet (if DB variable tm.rstcause.pkt is enabled) or logged (if DB variable tm.rstcause.log is enabled).

Conditions:
-- There is a virtual server configured with a FastL4 profile with an idle-timeout setting of zero ('immediate').
-- The FastL4 profile is replaced with one that has a non-zero idle-timeout setting.

Impact:
Traffic no longer passes through the virtual server properly.

Workaround:
To avoid this issue, if you need to change the FastL4 profile in this manner, delete and recreate the entire virtual server rather than replace the profile.

Impact of workaround: This results in a traffic disruption for that virtual server.

If the issue has already occurred, the only way to recover is to restart TMM

Impact of workaround: This also results in a traffic disruption, this time a general one.

772497-6 : When BIG-IP is configured to use a proxy server, updatecheck fails

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
Executing Update Check fails when run on a BIG-IP system that is behind a proxy server.

Conditions:
-- A proxy server is configured on the BIG-IP system using proxy.host db variable (and associated port, protocol, etc.).
-- You run Update Check.

Impact:
The Update Check fails to connect because the script resolves the IP address prior to sending the request to the proxy server.

Workaround:
You can use either of the following workarounds:

I
=======
Modify the /usr/bin/updatecheck script to not resolve the service ip for callhome.f5.com. To do so, remove the script text 'PeerAddr => $service_ip,' from lines 336,337:

1. Locate the following section in the script:
@LWP::Protocol::http::EXTRA_SOCK_OPTS = ( PeerAddr => $service_ip,
SSL_hostname => $service_name,

2. Update the script to remove the content 'PeerAddr => $service_ip,', so that it looks like the following example:
@LWP::Protocol::http::EXTRA_SOCK_OPTS = ( SSL_hostname => $service_name,

II
=======
As an alternative, use a sed command, as follows:
1. Remount /usr as rw.
2. Run the following command:
# sed -e "s/PeerAddr => $service_ip,//" -i /usr/bin/updatecheck

772297-1 : LLDP-related option is reset to default for secondary blade's interface when the secondary blade is booted without a binary db or is a new blade

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
When a secondary blade is a new blade or is booted without a binary db, the LLDP settings on the blade's interface is reset to default.

Conditions:
Plug in a new secondary blade, or reboot a blade (that comes up as secondary) without a binary db.

Impact:
LLDP-related options under 'tmsh net interface' for that secondary blade are reset to default.

Workaround:
Run 'tmsh load sys config' on the primary blade, and the LLDP-settings will reapply to the interfaces.

772233-2 : IPv6 RTT metric is not set when using collection protocols DNS_DOT and DNS_REV.

Component: Global Traffic Manager (DNS)

Symptoms:
When probing DNS Path, the metric round trip time (RTT) is not set correctly if the collection protocols used are NDS_DOT or DNS_REV.

The problem occurs only if the Path involves an IPv6 address; IPv4 address works fine.

Conditions:
-- Path involves IPv6 addresses.
-- Collection protocol used is either DNS_DOT or DNS_REV.

Impact:
RTT metric is not set at all.

Workaround:
Use collection protocols - ICMP instead.

771173-4 : FastL4 profile syn-cookie-enable attribute is not being rolled forward correctly.★

Component: Advanced Firewall Manager

Symptoms:
The system does not roll forward the FastL4 profile syn-cookie-enable attribute after upgrading from 12.x to 13.x and beyond.

Conditions:
This happens when upgrading from 12.x to 13.x and beyond.

Impact:
If syn cookies are explicitly disabled on a FastL4 profile prior to upgrading, they may be enabled.

Workaround:
You can fix the configuration by modifying it manually after upgrading.

In tmsh:
tmsh modify ltm profile fastl4 <profile_name> syn-cookie-enable <enabled|disabled>

771025-4 : AVR send domain names as an aggregate

Component: Application Visibility and Reporting

Symptoms:
AVR sends domain name as an aggregate of a number of domain names.

Conditions:
-- AVR receives more than the number of domain names it can handle.
-- After AVR gets DNS calls with different domain name, it no longer clears the domain name.
-- When AVR receives the maximum number of total domain names, it start to aggregate all the new domain names.

Impact:
Cannot see the correct domain name.

Workaround:
None.

770477-1 : SSL aborted when client_hello includes both renegotiation info extension and SCSV

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
Client SSL reports an error and terminates handshake.

Conditions:
Initial client_hello message includes both signaling mechanism for secure renegotiation: empty renegotiation_info extension and TLS_EMPTY_RENEGOTIATION_INFO_SCSV.

Impact:
Unable to connect with SSL.

Workaround:
None.

769817-2 : BFD fails to propagate sessions state change during blade restart

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
BFD fails to propagate sessions state change during blade restart.

Conditions:
-- On a chassis with multiple blades, several routing protocol sessions are established, (e.g., BGP sessions).
-- BFD sessions are configured for each BGP session to sustain fast failover of BGP sessions.
-- There is a BGP session that can be established only via specific blade and the corresponding BFD session of this BGP session is processed on the same blade.
-- This blade is restarted (e.g., using the bladectl command) or experienced a blade failure.

Impact:
The BFD session remains in the BFD sessions table and remains there until BGP session is timed out by hold the timer (90 seconds, by default). Dynamic routes, which are learnt via affected BGP session, remain in the routing table until the hold time is reached.

Workaround:
Change BGP hold time to reasonable lower value.

769581-2 : Timeout when sending many large requests iControl Rest requests

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
After sending hundreds of REST requests, REST requests eventually begins to time out. This is the case for applications such as an AS3, with requests with 700 services.

Conditions:
1. Download and install the AS3 iApp. This adds the /mgmt/shared/appsvcs/ endpoint to the the BIG-IP system.

2. Deploy config with AS3:
curl -X POST \
  https://<$IP_address>/mgmt/shared/appsvcs/declare \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d //This should be the data from an AS3 body

3. While deployment in step 2 is happening, make a GET to the tasks:
curl -X GET \
  https://<$IP_address>/mgmt/shared/appsvcs/task \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json'

4. Delete configuration:
curl -X DELETE \
  https://<$IP_address>/mgmt/shared/appsvcs/declare

It may take 3 or 4 times repeating steps 2 through 4 for the issue to show up. When it appears, you will start seeing messages in the AS3 task response like the following:

-- 'message': 'failed to save BIG-IP config (POST http://<$USERNAME>:<$PASSWORD>@<$IP_address>:8100/mgmt/tm/task/sys/config create task save sys config response=400 body={\"code\":400,\"message\":\"remoteSender:Unknown, method:POST \",\"originalRequestBody\":\"{\\\"command\\\":\\\"save\\\"}\",\"referer\":\"Unknown\",\"restOperationId\":6924816,\"kind\":\":resterrorresponse\"})'

Impact:
Saving new configuration data does not work. Any new transaction tasks fail.

Workaround:
1. Restart restjavad and all iControl Rest (icrd_child) instances.
2. Wait longer for large requests to finish before performing additional requests.

769385-2 : GTM sync of DNSSEC keys between devices with internal FIPS cards fails with log message

Component: Global Traffic Manager (DNS)

Symptoms:
GTM sync of DNSSEC keys between devices with internal FIPS cards fails with log message:

err mcpd[7649]: error: crypto codec New token is smaller with added values.

Conditions:
Two or more GTM devices with internal FIPS modules are configured with DNSSEC keys with 'use-fips internal' set, and GTM config sync between the devices is configured and enabled.

Impact:
DNSSEC keys are not imported into the FIPS cards of devices that receive the key via a synchronization from another device.

Workaround:
None.

769341-2 : HA failover deletes outstanding IKEv2 SAs along with IKEv1 SAs

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
High availability (HA) failover from active to next-active device should delete existing IKEv1 SAs because the IKEv1 racoon daemon terminates on standby. But it should not also delete the IKEv2 SAs at the same time, and it does.

Conditions:
This occurs during failover.

Impact:
The deletes IKEv2 SAs mirrored for HA. In the event of rapid failover and failback, this issue might result in missing SAs on the active device.

Workaround:
None.

769169-4 : BIG-IP system with large configuration becomes unresponsive with BIG-IQ monitoring

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
BIG-IQ sends a lot of request to the BIG-IP system to collect the stats it makes the BIG-IP slow and eventually GUI goes unresponsive.

Conditions:
-- BIG-IQ monitoring a large BIG-IP configuration.
-- With a very large number of requests, and with resource-expensive requests.

Impact:
ICRD requests wait longer in the ICRD queue, which can make the BIG-IP system becomes unresponsive. Policy Creation, Device Overview, and stats pages take more time to respond, and eventually, the GUI becomes unresponsive on these three pages.

Lot of process terminated/re-created messages in restjavad logs.

Workaround:
Remove the BIG-IP device from the BIG-IQ and restart the mcpd.

769145-1 : Syncookie threshold warning is logged when the threshold is disabled

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
Setting connection.syncookies.threshold to zero disables the threshold, but the system still reports log messages similar to:

warning tmm3[18189]: 01010055:4: Syncookie embryonic connection counter 38 exceeded sys threshold 0

Conditions:
Setting connection.syncookies.threshold to zero.

Impact:
Warnings that do not provide valid information. If the threshold value is a non-zero value, it does indicate an issue. However, this message is benign when the end of the message reads 'exceeded sys threshold 0'.

Workaround:
None.

769029-4 : Non-admin users fail to create tmp dir under /var/system/tmp/tmsh

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
The cron.daily/tmpwatch script deletes the /var/system/tmp/tmsh directory. After some time, the tmsh directory is created again as part of another cron job.

During the interval, if a non-admin accesses tmsh, tmsh creates the /tmp/tmsh directory with that user's permissions, which creates issues for subsequently non-admin user logons.

Conditions:
Try to access the tmsh from non-admin users when /var/system/tmp/tmsh is deleted.

Impact:
The first non-admin user can access tmsh. Other, subsequent non-admin users receive the following error:

01420006:3: Can't create temp directory, /var/system/tmp/tmsh/SKrmSB, errno 13] Permission denied.

After some time this /var/system/tmp/tmsh permission is updated automatically.

Workaround:
So that the script does not remove tmsh directory, but deletes 1-day old tmp files under /var/system/tmp/tmsh, update the last line of /etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch as follows:

tmpwatch --nodirs 1d /var/system/tmp

768025-3 : SAML requests/responses fail with "failed to find certificate"

Component: Access Policy Manager

Symptoms:
BIG-IP as SP and BIG-IP as IdP fail to generate signed SAML requests/responses or SAML Single Logout (SLO) requests/responses after the certificate that is used for signing is modified.

Conditions:
The certificate used for signing SAML requests/responses or SAML SLO requests/responses is modified or re-imported.

Impact:
When this issue occurs, SAML services are impacted when BIG-IP is configured as SP or IdP. Subsequent SAML/SAML SLO requests/responses fail with the error 'failed to find certificate'.

-- When BIG-IP is configured as IdP, then SAML Authentication fails and SAML/SAML SLO services do not work.

-- When BIG-IP is configured as SP, resources that need SAML Authentication cannot be accessed. Also, SAML SLO service does not work.

Workaround:
-- When BIG-IP as IdP is affected, configure a different certificate associated with SAML IdP configuration that is used for signing, change it back to the original certificate, and then the apply policy.

-- Similarly, when BIG-IP as SP is affected, configure a different certificate associated with SAML SP configuration that is used for signing, change it back to the original certificate, and then apply the policy.

767737-1 : Timing issues during startup may make an HA peer stay in the inoperative state

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
When two BIG-IP systems are paired, it is possible during startup for the network connection to be made too early during the boot sequence. This may leave a peer in the inoperative state.

Conditions:
This is a timing-related issue that might occur during boot up of high availability (HA) peers.

Impact:
An HA peer does not become ACTIVE when it should.

Workaround:
None.

767613-1 : Restjavad can keep partially downloaded files open indefinitely

Component: Device Management

Symptoms:
Files that restjavad makes available for download (such as UCS files in /var/local/ucs) can be held open indefinitely if a requesting client does not complete the download. Since these files remain opened, the total number of available file handles for the process decreases and the disk space for the files cannot be recovered. Symptoms may include errors like 'Too many open files', low disk space even after deleting the associated files, and items listed with '(deleted)' in lsof output.

Conditions:
-- Files restjavad makes available for download.
-- The requesting client does not complete the download.

Impact:
Various errors ('Too many open files.'), low disk space, items listed with '(deleted)' when listed using lsof.

Workaround:
To free the file handles, restart restjavad:
tmsh restart sys service restjavad

Files that were deleted now have their space reclaimed.

767341-2 : If the size of a filestore file is smaller than the size reported by mcp, tmm can crash while loading the file.

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
Repeated TMM service crash SIGBUS with memory copy operation at the top of stack trace.

Conditions:
TMM loads filestore file and size of this file is smaller than the size reported by mcp or if this ifile store is not present at all.

This condition is possible due to
- filesystem errors/corruption or
- BIG-IP user intervention.

Filesystem error might be due to power loss, full disk or other reasons.

Impact:
TMM crash.
The program terminated with signal SIGBUS, Bus error.

Workaround:
Manual copy of the "good" ifile store and forceload on the previously bad unit. Usually trivial, but error prone.

Another workaround is clean install, if possible/acceptable

767305-1 : If the mcpd daemon is restarted by itself, some SNMP OIDs fail to return data the first time they are queried

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
Upon querying a sysTmmStat* SNMP OID (for example, sysTmmStatTmUsageRatio5s), you find your SNMP client returns an error message similar to the following example:

No Such Instance currently exists at this OID

The very next time you query that same SNMP OID (or any other sysTmmStat* SNMP OID), you find they all work as expected and return the correct result.

Conditions:
This issue occurs after restarting only the mcpd daemon, i.e., running bigstart restart mcpd.

Impact:
All sysTmmStat* SNMP OIDs do not work until one of them is queried at least once, and the query is allowed to fail. After that, all sysTmmStat* SNMP OIDs work as expected.

Workaround:
Restart all services together, i.e., running the command: bigstart restart.

Should the mcpd daemon happen to be restarted on its own, you can simply ignore the error message and allow your SNMP polling station to fail a single polling cycle.

If you want to ensure that this issue does not occur, for example, so that your SNMP polling station does not generate unnecessary alarms, do not restart the mcpd daemon on its own, but rather restart all services together by running the following command:

bigstart restart

767217-1 : Under certain conditions when deleting an iRule, an incorrect dependency error is seen

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
If an iRule is being referenced by another iRule, and the reference is then removed, attempts to delete the formerly referenced iRule will result in an error similar to the following:

01070265:3: The rule (/Common/irule1) cannot be deleted because it is in use by a rule (/Common/irule2).

Conditions:
-- An iRule referencing another iRule.
-- The referencing iRule is in use.

Impact:
Unable to delete the iRule.

Workaround:
Save and re-load the configuration.

767045-3 : TMM cores while applying policy

Component: Anomaly Detection Services

Symptoms:
TMM core and possible cores of other daemons.

Conditions:
The exact conditions are unknown.

Occurrences have been seen during specialized internal testing and while applying a copied and edited ASM policy.

Impact:
Traffic disrupted while tmm restarts.

Workaround:
None.

767013-2 : Reboot when B2150 and B2250 blades' HSB is in a bad state observed through HSB sending continuous pause frames to the Broadcom Switch

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
In a rare scenario, the HSB sends a large amount and continuous pause frames to the Broadcom switch, which indicates that the HSB is in a bad state.

Conditions:
This happens when there is heavy traffic load on VIPRION B2150 and B2250 blades. The root cause of that is still under investigation. It happens extreme rarely.

Impact:
Reboot the BIG-IP system.

Workaround:
None.

766761-1 : Ant-server does not log requests that are excluded from scanning

Component: Access Policy Manager

Symptoms:
Based on Request/Response Analytics agent 'Exclude Types' settings, the requests that are excluded from scanning should log a message that states, 'Response content is in excluded content list'.

Conditions:
Response or Request Analytics agent in the Per-Request Policy.

Impact:
These particular logs are not available.

Workaround:
None.

766593-2 : RESOLV::lookup with bytes array input does not work when length is exactly 4, 16, or 20

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
RESOLVE::lookup returns empty string.

Conditions:
Input bytes array is at length of 4, 16, or 20.

For example:
[RESOLV::lookup @dnsserveraddress -a [binary format a* $host1.d1test.com]]

Impact:
RESOLVE::lookup returns empty string.

Workaround:
Use lindex 0 to get the first element of the array.

For example:
[RESOLV::lookup @dnsserveraddress -a [lindex [binary format a* $host1.d1test.com] 0]]

766405-1 : MRF SIP ALG with SNAT: Fix for potential crash on next-active device

Component: Service Provider

Symptoms:
The next active device may crash with a core when attempting to create media flows.

Conditions:
The names for the LSN pool and router profile are longer than expected.

Impact:
The TMM on the next active device may core. Traffic disrupted while tmm restarts; If the next-active device was not carrying traffic for a traffic group, traffic is not disrupted.

Workaround:
None.

766329-1 : SCTP connections do not reflect some SCTP profile settings

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
The effective receive-chunks, transmit-chunks, in-streams, and out-streams parameters in SCTP traffic do not match the settings from the configured SCTP profile:

  -- The in-streams setting alters both the in-streams parameter and the tx-chunks parameter.
  -- The out-streams setting alters both the out-streams parameter and the rx-chunks parameter.
  -- The tx-chunks setting has no effect.
  -- The rx-chunks setting has no effect.

Conditions:
An SCTP virtual server is configured.

Impact:
Unexpected SCTP parameters are negotiated on SCTP connections.

Workaround:
None.

765517-2 : Traffic Match Criteria validation fails when create Virtual server with address list with overlapping address space but a different ingress VLAN

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
When two virtual servers are created and they have same address list but different incoming VLANs, Traffic Match Criteria validation fails.

Conditions:
Create 2 virtual servers and they have same address list but different incoming VLANs.

Impact:
System validation fails.

Workaround:
Use non-overlapping address lists.

764873-1 : An accelerated flow transmits packets to a dated, down pool member.

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
Normally, when a pool member becomes unavailable, the flow is redirected towards another available pool member. However, an accelerated flow can continue to send traffic to the dated pool member rather than the updated one.

Conditions:
A flow changes the pool member it goes to while the flow is accelerated.

Impact:
The traffic continues to target the dated pool member that is not available.

Workaround:
Disable HW acceleration.

Or on BIG-IP v14.1.0 and later, if a pool member goes away, run the following command to flush all accelerated flow to be handled correctly by software:
tmsh modify sys conn flow-accel-type software-only

763157-1 : MRF SIP ALG with SNAT: Processing request and response at same time on same connection may cause one to be dropped

Component: Service Provider

Symptoms:
Processing the response to an outbound request at the same time as an inbound request message on the same connection could cause internal state generated to be confused and the inbound request to be dropped.

Conditions:
Processing the response to an outbound request at the same time as an inbound request message on the same connection.

Impact:
The inbound request will be dropped.

Workaround:
None.

763093-4 : LRO packets are not taken into account for ifc_stats (VLAN stats)

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
The ifc_stats do not correctly reflect the number of incoming octets/packets. There is a discrepancy between octets/packets in/out in the ifc_stats table, which tracks per-VLAN stats.

Conditions:
LRO is enabled and used for incoming packets.

Impact:
ifc_stats are incorrect for incoming octets and packets.

Workaround:
Disable LRO using the following command:
tmsh modify sys db tm.tcplargereceiveoffload value disable

After modifying that variable, you must restart tmm for it to take effect (traffic disrupted while tmm restarts):
bigstart restart tmm

762385-2 : Wrong remote-role assigned using LDAP authentication after upgrade to 14.1.x and later★

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
When multiple attributes in a list match multiple roles, the wrong role may be assigned. Alternatively, authentication may fail when check-roles-group is disabled.

Conditions:
LDAP server replies with a list of attributes (e.g., list of memberOf) where more than one match existing role.

Impact:
BIG-IP assigns the user to the last attribute in the list that matches a role, potentially yielding a more restrictive set of permissions.

Authentication may fail when check-roles-group is disabled.

Workaround:
None.

762205-3 : IKEv2 rekey fails to recognize VENDOR_ID payload when it appears

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
Rekey with non BIG-IP systems can fail when a response contains a VENDOR_ID payload.

Conditions:
- IKEv2 Responder sends VENDOR_ID payload in rekey response.
- The ipsec.log misleadingly reports:
[I] [PROTO_ERR]: unexpected critical payload (type 43)
Note: This message may be correctly present under other conditions, with different type constants not equal to 43.

Impact:
BIG-IP as the initiator of rekey drops the rekey negotiation without making further progress when the responder included a VENDOR_ID payload in a response. This will result in deleting the SA for good when the hard lifetime expires, causing a tunnel outage.

Workaround:
No workaround is known at this time.

762073-4 : Continuous TMM restarts when HSB drops off the PCI bus

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
In the unlikely event that HSB drops off the PCI bus, TMM continuously restarts until the BIG-IP system is rebooted.

Conditions:
The conditions under which the issue occurs are unknown, but it is a rarely occurring issue.

Impact:
Repeated TMM restarts. Traffic disrupted until you reboot the BIG-IP system. The HSB reappears and is functional after reboot.

Workaround:
Manually reboot the BIG-IP system.

761753-1 : BIG-IP system incorrectly flags UDP checksum as failed on x520 NICs

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
When UDP checksum is 0 (zero), a BIG-IP device with an x520 NIC causes the packets to be marked as 'checksum failed'.

Conditions:
-- Using BIG-IP Virtual Edition (VE).
-- VE is using x520 VF.

Impact:
UDP Packets with 0 checksum are dropped.

Workaround:
None.

761685-2 : Connections routed to a virtual server lose per-client connection mode if preserve-strict source port mode is set

Component: Service Provider

Symptoms:
Systems desiring to create a unique connection per connection client may silently end up with clients sharing an outgoing connection if routing uses a virtual server as the outgoing connection transport definition, and the virtual server has the source-port attribute set to preserve-strict.

Conditions:
-- Routing using a virtual server as the transport definition for the outgoing connection.
-- The virtual server has the source-port attribute set to preserve-strict.

Impact:
Systems desiring to create a unique connection per connection client may silently end up sharing an outgoing connection.

Workaround:
None.

761621-1 : Ephemeral FQDN pool members in Partition shown as Common under Local Traffic > Pools > "Members"

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
When Ephemeral FQDL pool members exist in non-Common partition, they are shown to be in the /Common partition on the Local Traffic : Pools : Members page. In the statistics view of the same object, they are shown appropriately with their non-Common partition.

Conditions:
-- Ephemeral FQDL pool members exist in a non-Common partition.
-- View the FQDL pool members on Local Traffic : Pools : Members page.

Impact:
No impact to configuration, however, the display is confusing and shows contradictory partition information.

Workaround:
None.

761517-2 : nat64 and ltm pool conflict

Component: Carrier-Grade NAT

Symptoms:
When a pool is assigned to a virtual server with nat64, the destination address is changed to the one of the pool, regardless if address translation is enabled or not.

Conditions:
vs with nat64 and pool configured.

Impact:
nat64 does not happen, even if the translate-address option is set to disable.

Workaround:
none

761345-4 : Additional config-sync may be required after blob compilation on a HA setup in manual config-sync mode

Component: Advanced Firewall Manager

Symptoms:
When manual config-sync mode is enabled for a HA setup, additional config-sync may be required after firewall blob compilation.

Conditions:
Firewall rule configuration modified on a high availability (HA) setup with manual config-sync mode enabled.

Impact:
Additional config-sync may be required after compilation completion.
A warning may be given: "There is a possible change conflict between <device1> and <device2>.", and full sync may be forced.

Workaround:
Enable auto config-sync instead of manual config-sync.

761321-1 : 'Connection Rate Limit' is hidden, but 'Connection Rate Limit Mode' is not

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
'Connection Rate Limit' setting is hidden when it is appropriate to do so. However, the 'Connection Rate Limit Mode' setting is still visible, even when 'Connection Rate Limit' is hidden.

Conditions:
1. Create a Virtual Server with type Standard.
2. Click Configuration 'Advanced'.
3. Enter values for 'Connection Rate Limit" and "Connection Rate Limit Mode'.
4. Save the configuration.
5. Change the virtual server type to Forwarding (Layer 2).

Impact:
'Connection Rate Limit' is hidden -- which it should be, but 'Connection Rate Limit Mode' is not -- which it should be as well. Although 'Connection Rate Limit Mode' is available, the system ignores any setting specified.

Workaround:
Do not configure 'Connection Rate Limit Mode', as it has no effect.

761303-1 : Upgrade of standby BIG-IP system results in empty Local Database

Component: Access Policy Manager

Symptoms:
Upgrade of standby BIG-IP system results in empty Local Database.

Conditions:
This happens on standby device in a high availability (HA) setup.

Impact:
All previously existing local users disappear from the standby device. If a failover happens, then none of the local users will be able to login now.

Workaround:
To trigger a full database dump from the active BIG-IP system that returns the standby device's database to its original state, on the standby device, do the following:

1. Reboot.
2. Switch to a new installation volume.
3. Force stop the localdbmgr process:
bigstart stop localdbmgr
4. Wait at least 15 minutes.
5. Restart the localdbmgr:
bigstart restart localdbmgr

760930-3 : MRF SIP ALG with SNAT: Added additional details to log events

Component: Service Provider

Symptoms:
Subscriber name is not included in debug log events for temporary subscriber registration creation and deletion.

Conditions:
debug log events for temporary subscriber registration creation and deletion.

Impact:
No functional impact, but the associated MRF SIP ALG with SNAT issue might be difficult to debug.

Workaround:
None.

760740 : Mysql error is displayed when saving UCS configuration on BIG-IP system with only LTM provisioned

Component: Protocol Inspection

Symptoms:
When saving the configuration to a UCS file, the process tries save the IPS learning information stored in the MySql database. Because BIG-IP systems with only LTM provisioning (i.e., without AFM licensed) do not have the MySql server running, saving the configuration to a UCS file succeeds, but the system reports a spurious message during the operation:

Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock.

Conditions:
-- Saving the configuration to a UCS file.
-- BIG-IP system is provisioned with LTM only.

Impact:
The error message is cosmetic and has no impact on the UCS save process.

Workaround:
None.

760615-1 : Virtual Server discovery may not work after a GTM device is removed from the sync group

Component: Global Traffic Manager (DNS)

Symptoms:
LTM configuration does not auto-discover GTM-configured virtual servers.

Conditions:
-- GTM is deprovisioned on one or more GTM sync group members, or the sync group is reconfigured on one or more members.

-- Those devices remain present in the GTM configuration as 'gtm server' objects.

-- iQuery is connected to those members.

Impact:
Virtual servers are not discovered or added automatically.

Workaround:
You can use either of the following workarounds:

-- Manually add the desired GTM server virtual servers.

-- Delete the 'gtm server' objects that represent the devices that are no longer part of the GTM sync group. These can then be recreated if the devices are operating as LTM-configured devices.

760471-2 : GTM iQuery connections may be reset during SSL key renegotiation.

Component: Global Traffic Manager (DNS)

Symptoms:
During routine iQuery SSL renegotiation, the iQuery connection will occasionally be reset.

Conditions:
This occurs occasionally during routine renegotiation.

Impact:
The affected iQuery connection is briefly marked down as the connection is marked down before the connection is immediately re-established.

Workaround:
There is no workaround.

760406-2 : HA connection might stall on Active device when the SSL session cache becomes out-of-sync

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
You see 'SSL handshake timeout' error messages in LTM log, and high availability (HA) system performance becomes degraded.

Conditions:
This might occur in either of the following scenarios:

Scenario 1
-- Manual sync operations are performed during while traffic is being passed.
-- SSL Connection mirroring is enabled.

Scenario 2
-- Saving configuration on an HA Standby node during while traffic is being passed.
-- SSL Connection mirroring is enabled.

Impact:
-- In Scenario 1, the sync operations causes the session cache to be out-of-sync between active and standby nodes.

-- In Scenario 2, the save operation clears the session cache on the standby node. As a result, the session cache might be out-of-sync between active and standby nodes.

In either Scenario:
-- SSL Connection mirroring fails and posts the timeout message.

-- The HA system performance becomes degraded due to SSL connection timeout.

Workaround:
-- Disable SSL session caching by setting 'Cache Size' in the client SSL profile option to 0.

-- Set device management sync type to Automatic with incremental sync.

760370-1 : MRF SIP ALG with SNAT: Next active ingress queue filling

Component: Service Provider

Symptoms:
When running MRF SIP ALG with SNAT, the ingress queue may fill, causing messages to be dropped on the next-active device.

Conditions:
-- The active device determines that an operation can be skipped because the details are already discovered processing a previous message.
-- The next-active device has not yet processed the previous message and is not able to skip the operation.

Impact:
Mirroring state is lost for the connection.

Workaround:
None.

760234-6 : Configuring Advanced shell for Resource Administrator User has no effect

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
Advanced shell is present in the Terminal Access dropdown list when creating a Resource Administrator User, but the functionality is not available.

Conditions:
Configuring Advanced shell for Resource Administrator User.

Impact:
There is no warning message, but the setting has no effect. Gives the false impression that you can configure a Resource Administrator User to have Advanced shell access when the role does not support it.

Workaround:
None.

760050-1 : cwnd warning message in log

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
The following benign message appears in the log: cwnd too low.

Conditions:
The TCP congestion window has dropped below one Maximum Segment Size, which should not happen.

Impact:
None. TCP resets the congestion window to 1 MSS.

Workaround:
This message does not indicate a functional issue, so you can safely ignore this message. There is no action to take, but the presence of the message can be useful information for debugging other TCP problems.

759993-1 : 'License verification failed' errors occur when changing license

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
The /var/log/ltm contains license processing errors upon license validation failure whenever a significant license event happens (such as a license change). However the system 'corrects' itself if a valid license exists, so no further log messages will be produced.

Conditions:
Whenever a significant license event happens, the internal state wipes the previous license representation, which causes some modules to report the license has failed verification.

Impact:
When a license change occurs, the system logs messages similar to the following:

-- err mcpd[11745]: 01180010:3: [license processing][error]: license verification failed.
-- err mcpd[11745]: 01180010:3: [license processing][error]: invalid input for license parsing.

If you have a valid license, there is no functional impact to the product, and you can safely ignore these messages.

Workaround:
None.

759654-3 : LDAP remote authentication with remote roles and user-template failing

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
The directory server that performs authentication requests refuses a query for authorization (user attributes), which prevents the BIG-IP user from logging on with remote authentication.

BAD_NAME errors are usually present in LDAP communication.

Conditions:
-- Configure LDAP remote authentication with remote roles and a user template.
-- As a remote user, attempt to logon.

Impact:
The query request sent to the directory server is refused because the password is not included in the request, and the server does not accept an anonymous bind request. The refused request prevents a lookup of the user account attributes on the directory server. As a result, the BIG-IP user cannot logon.

Workaround:
Remove user-template. bind-dn must be used to authenticate against LDAP server.

759606-1 : REST error message is logged every five minutes on vCMP Guest

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
Guestagentd periodically logs the following REST error message for each secondary slot in /var/log/ltm:

Rest request failed{"code":502."message":"This is a non-primary slot on the Viprion. Please access this device through the cluster address.","restOperationId":6410038,"kind":":resterrorresponse"}

Conditions:
Upgrade a vCMP guest from pre-13.1.x to a 13.1.x or later version.

Impact:
There is stale stat information for vCMP guests running on secondary slots.

Workaround:
Create a Log Filter with no publisher on the vCMP guest to discard the specific error message:

sys log-config filter Filter_RestError {
    level info
    message-id 01810007
    source guestagentd
}

759392-1 : HTTP_REQUEST iRule event triggered for internal APM request

Component: Access Policy Manager

Symptoms:
Requests for the internal APM renderer for logo customization trigger the HTTP_REQUEST iRule event.

Conditions:
Customized logo in Access Profile

Impact:
HTTP_REQUEST event will be raised for requests for the customized logo in the Access Profile.

Workaround:
Inside the HTTP_REQUEST event, if it is necessary to not take a certain action on a customized logo, it is possible to check that the URL does not equal the URL for the logo (it should start with '/public/images/customization/' and contain the image name).

759370-3 : FIX protocol messages parsed incorrectly when fragmented between the body and the trailer.

Component: Service Provider

Symptoms:
FIX message has successfully parsed header part (iRule event FIX_HEADER triggered), but is eventually discarded as incomplete (no iRule event FIX_MESSAGE).

Conditions:
FIX message fragmented between body part and the trailer (tag 10).

Impact:
FIX protocol messages are not forwarded.

Workaround:
Assure FIX protocol packet size does not exceed MTU value.

759258-1 : Instances shows incorrect pools if the same members are used in other pools

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
Monitor 'Instances' tab shows incorrect pools if the same members are used in other pools.

Conditions:
Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create custom monitor or use system default.
2. Assign that monitor to a test pool.
3. Navigate to Local Traffic :: Monitors, click the test monitor, then select the Instances tab.

Impact:
The test pool is displayed, as well any other pools that use the same member or members (but with other monitors assigned).

Workaround:
None.

759172-2 : Read Access Denied: user (gu, guest) type (Certificate Order Manager)

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
GUI guest user is supposed to see Key properties (which includes cert order manager association details) and Certificate Order Manager object itself, but reports an error:
-- General database error retrieving information.
-- err mcpd[6586]: 01070823:3: Read Access Denied: user (gu) type (Certificate Order Manager)

Conditions:
-- BIG-IP Virtual Edition (VE).
-- Guest user attempts to view Key properties (including cert order manager association details) and Certificate Order Manager object information.

Impact:
Certificate Manager role does not allow users to create certificates. They can upload and delete certificates, but when trying to create one, the GUI stays blank and the logs show a Read Access Denied error.

Workaround:
None.

759077-1 : MRF SIP filter queue sizes not configurable

Component: Service Provider

Symptoms:
The ingress and egress queues of the MRF SIP filter have fixed sizes that cannot be configured.

Conditions:
If the hard-coded queue size of 512 messages or 65535 bytes are exceeded, the filter enables its flow control logic.

Impact:
Messages may be dropped.

Workaround:
None.

758992-3 : The BIG-IP may use the traffic-group MAC address rather than a per-VLAN MAC address

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
tmm may use a combination of the traffic-group MAC address and the per-VLAN MAC address for traffic associated with the traffic-group.

Conditions:
All of the following:
-- The traffic-group has a MAC address set.
-- The sys db variable 'tm.macmasqaddr_per_vlan' is set to true.
-- There are multiple tmm processes running on the BIG-IP system.

Note: BIG-IP Virtual Edition is not affected since there is only one tmm process.

Impact:
Incorrect MAC address used for traffic associated with the traffic-group.

Workaround:
None.

758929-1 : Bcm56xxd MIIM bus access failure after TMM crash

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
Bcm56xxd daemon running on certain BIG-IP devices might experience MIIM bus access failure after a tmm crash. The system posts a message similar to the following in the ltm log:

info bcm56xxd: 012c0016:6: MiimTimeOut:soc_miim_write, timeout (id=0xc9 addr=0x1f data=0x0000)

Conditions:
-- Heavily stressed system
-- Using one of the following platforms:
  + VIPRION B2250 Blade (A112)
  + VIPRION B2150 Blade (A113)
  + VIPRION B4300 Blade (A108)
  + BIG-IP 5250v
  + BIG-IP i5820

Impact:
The affected BIG-IP system fails to pass traffic. If configured for high availability (HA), failover occurs.

Workaround:
Reboot the affected BIG-IP platform / VIPRION blade.

758599-2 : IPv6 Management route is preferred over IPv6 tmm route

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
The IPv6 Management route has lower metric than the static IPv6 tmm route. As a result, traffic that matches the default route goes to the mgmt interface.

Conditions:
Create an IPv6 mgmt route and a static IPv6 tmm route on the same BIG-IP system. IPv6 routes from TMM are injected at metric 1024.

Impact:
The incorrect routing table sends the traffic that matches the default route to the mgmt interface.

Workaround:
None.

758387-1 : BIG-IP floods packet with MAC '01-80-c2-00-00-00' to VLAN instead of dropping it

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
In STP 'passthru' mode, any packet sent to the BIG-IP system with a destination MAC of 01-80-c2-00-00-00 is treated as an STP bridge protocol data unit (BPDU), and is flooded to the VLAN.

Conditions:
-- The BIG-IP system is configured for STP 'passthru' mode
-- The BIG-IP system receives a packet with MAC 01-80-c2-00-00-00.

Impact:
A packet that is not an STP BPDU, but is sent to the same destination MAC address may be flooded as if it was a BPDU.

Workaround:
None.

757827 : Allow duplicate FQDN ephemeral create/delete for more reliable FQDN resolution

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
When using FQDN nodes and pool members, ephemeral pool members may not be created as expected immediately after a configuration-load or BIG-IP reboot operation.

Conditions:
This may occur on affected BIG-IP versions when:
1. Multiple FQDN names (configured for FQDN nodes/pool members) resolve to the same IP address.
2. DNS queries to resolve these FQDN names occur almost simultaneously.
3. The BIG-IP version in use contains the fix for ID 726319.

The occurrence of this issue is very sensitive to timing conditions, and is more likely to occur when there are larger numbers of FQDN names resolving to a common IP address.

Impact:
When this issue occurs, some subset of ephemeral pool members may not be created as expected.
As a result, some pools may not have any active pool members, and will not pass traffic.
This issue, when it occurs, may persist until the next DNS queries occur for each FQDN name, at which point the missing ephemeral pool members are typically created as expected. Using the default fqdn interval value of 3600 seconds, such downtime would last approximately one hour.

Workaround:
To minimize the duration of time when pools may be missing ephemeral pool members, configure a shorter fqdn interval value for the FQDN nodes:
tmsh mod ltm node fqdn-node-name { fqdn { interval ## } }
Where ## is the desired number of seconds between successive DNS queries to resolve the configure FQDN name.

757722-3 : Unknown notify message types unsupported in IKEv2

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
IKE negotiation fails when an unrecognized notify payload type is seen in a message processed by IKEv2.

Conditions:
Receiving an IKE message that contains a notify payload whose numeric type value is unrecognized by IKEv2.

Impact:
Negotiation fails with an aborted connection, preventing tunnel creation.

Workaround:
A peer can suppress notification payloads with advisory values that get rejected by IKEv2 within the BIG-IP system.

757519-2 : Unable to login using LDAP authentication

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
User cannot login using remote LDAP authentication. This occurs because LDAP with user-template uses user-template username as DN for search.

Conditions:
LDAP authentication configuration includes user-template, which is not a valid DN.

Impact:
Remote LDAP authentication users are unable to login.

Workaround:
You can use either of the following workarounds:

-- Create a specific user for bind by configuring bind-dn and bind-pw and remove user-template.

-- Switch to local authentication.

757029-1 : Ephemeral pool members may not be created after config load or reboot

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
When using FQDN nodes and pool members, ephemeral pool members may not be created as expected immediately after a configuration-load or BIG-IP system reboot operation.

Conditions:
This may occur on affected BIG-IP versions when:

-- Multiple FQDN names (configured for FQDN nodes/pool members) resolve to the same IP address.
-- DNS queries to resolve these FQDN names occur almost simultaneously.

The occurrence of this issue is very sensitive to timing conditions, and is more likely to occur when there are larger numbers of FQDN names resolving to a common IP address.

Impact:
When this issue occurs, some subset of ephemeral pool members may not be created as expected.

As a result, some pools may not have any active pool members, and do not pass traffic.

This issue, when it occurs, may persist until the next DNS queries occur for each FQDN name, at which point the missing ephemeral pool members are typically created as expected. Using the default FQDN interval value of 3600 seconds, such downtime lasts approximately one hour.

Workaround:
To minimize the duration of time when pools may be missing ephemeral pool members, configure a shorter FQDN interval value for the FQDN nodes:

tmsh mod ltm node fqdn-node-name { fqdn { interval ## } }
Where ## is the desired number of seconds between successive DNS queries to resolve the configure FQDN name.

756998-2 : DoSL7 Record Traffic feature is not recording traffic

Component: Application Security Manager

Symptoms:
Enabling 'Record Traffic During Attacks' in the DoS Application Profile does not record traffic during attacks: TCP Dump files are not being created in the /shared/dosl7/tcpdumps/ directory as expected.

Conditions:
-- Enabling 'Record Traffic During Attacks' in the DoS Application Profile.
-- DoSL7 Attacks are detected.

Impact:
Attack traffic is not being recorded as expected.

Workaround:
None.

756817-2 : ZebOS addresses blocks do not reflect RFC5735 changes to reserved address blocks.

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
Special IP address handling as per RFC6890 is done correctly in the routing protocols. There is a possibility of martian addresses getting announced or allowed addresses restricted (e.g., 128.0.0.0/16 and 191.255.0.0/16).

This impacts all components using dynamic routing.

Conditions:
-- Network advertisements in BGP, etc., allow martian addresses and restrict allowed network-space as per RFC6890, for example, 128.0.0.0/16 and 191.255.0.0/16, 223.255.255.0/24 are blocked.
-- In IPv6 loopback addressed are allowed, so ::/128 (unspec) and ::1/128 (loopback) addresses are allowed.
-- Some DSlite address ranges are not handled correctly.

Impact:
Martian addresses are allowed. Non-martian addresses are blocked.

Workaround:
None.

756402-3 : Re-transmitted IPsec packets can have garbled contents

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
Before re-transmitting a packet, it is discovered to be garbled, mainly in the form of having physical length that no longer matches the logical length recorded inside the packet.

Conditions:
Possibly rare condition that might cause packet freeing while still in use.

Impact:
Likely tunnel outage until re-established.

Workaround:
No workaround is known at this time.

756313-1 : SSL monitor continues to mark pool member down after restoring services

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
After an HTTPS monitor fails, it never resumes probing. No ClientHello is sent, just 3WHS and then 4-way closure. The pool member remains down.

Conditions:
-- The cipherlist for the monitor is not using TLSv1 (e.g., contains -TLSv1 or !TLSv1).
-- The pool member is marked down.

Impact:
Services are not automatically restored by the health monitor.

Workaround:
To restore the state of the member, remove it, and add it back to the pool.

755791-1 : UDP monitor not behaving properly on different ICMP reject codes.

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
Unexpected or improper pool/node member status.

Conditions:
The BIG-IP system receives the ICMP rejection code as icmp-net/host-unreachable.

Impact:
The monitor might consider a server available when some type of ICMP rejection has been received that is not port unreachable.

Workaround:
You can use either of the following workarounds:
-- Use UDP monitors configured with a receive string.
-- Do not use UDP monitors.

755727-1 : Ephemeral pool members not created after DNS flap and address record changes

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
When using FQDN node/pool members, ephemeral pool members may not be created for one or more pools after address records change on the DNS server.

Once this condition occurs, ephemeral pool members are no longer created for a given FQDN name in the affected pool.

Conditions:
This issue may occur under rare timing conditions when the following factors are present:

-- Using FQDN nodes/pool members.
-- Changes occur in the address records on the DNS server, causing new ephemeral nodes/pool members to be created and old ephemeral nodes/pool members to be deleted.
-- There is a temporary loss of connectivity to/responsiveness from the DNS server.

Impact:
When this issue occurs, the affected pool may be left with no active pool members. In that case, virtual servers targeting the affected pool become unavailable and stop passing traffic.

Workaround:
When this issue occurs, the ability to create ephemeral pool members can be restored by either of the following actions:

1. Restart the dynconfd daemon:
bigstart restart dynconfd

2. Delete and re-create the FQDN template pool member using the following two commands:
tmsh mod ltm pool affected_pool members del { fqdn_pool_member:port }
tmsh mod ltm pool affected_pool members add { fqdn_pool_member:port { additional field values } }

To ensure that a pool contains active members even if this issue occurs, populate each pool with more than one FQDN pool member, or with an additional non-FQDN pool member.

755716-2 : IPsec connection can fail if connflow expiration happens before IKE encryption

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
IKEv2 negotiation fails, and tmm log shows the following error:

notice [INTERNAL_ERR]: ikev2....: Invalid BIG-IP flow context

Conditions:
Unusual timing that results in connflow expiration immediately preceding Diffie Hellman generation.

Impact:
IKE Negotiation fails, so an SA cannot be established.

Workaround:
None.

754989-2 : iControl REST API adds unnecessary escape character (\) to URL if the URL contains a wildcard character

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
iControl REST API adds unnecessary escaping to URL if it contains a wildcard character.

Conditions:
-- Creating configuration using iControl REST API.
-- Configuration includes a URL containing wildcard character.

Impact:
iControl REST API adds unnecessary escape character (\) to URL. The resulting configuration may not be interpreted correctly by the data plane because the request URL does not match with the configuration.

-- One specific example:
# restcurl -u admin:<password> -d '{"name":"/vdesk/test*","type":"wildcard"}' "https://host.mgmt.siterequest.com/mgmt/tm/security/anti-fraud/profile/fps_logonpage_wildcard/urls"

-- Results in this:
urls {
        /vdesk/test\\* {
            priority 2
            type wildcard
        }
    }

-- Instead of the expected:
urls {
        /vdesk/test* {
            priority 2
            type wildcard
        }
    }

Workaround:
Use TMSH to add the configuration.

754691-2 : During failover, an OSPF routing daemon may crash.

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
With a specific OSPF configuration, during a failover, a peer which is changed from standby to active may experience an ospfd daemon crash.

Conditions:
High availability configuration with a routing configuration:
1) access-list with 0.0.0.0/0 filtering:
access-list 199 remark test
access-list 199 deny ip host 0.0.0.0 host 0.0.0.0
access-list 199 permit ip any any

2) OSPF router with this access-list:
router ospf 1
ospf router-id 10.14.0.11
bfd all-interfaces
network 10.14.0.0/16 area 0.0.0.1
distribute-list 199 in
!

-- The device with this configuration is in the standby state.
-- A failover occurs.

Impact:
An OSPF daemon crashes, losing routing information and OSPF dynamic routes for a moment while ospfd daemon restarts.

Workaround:
None.

754335-2 : Install ISO does not boot on BIG-IP VE★

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
The install ISO does not boot on BIG-IP Virtual Edition (VE).

Conditions:
Attempting to boot a BIG-IP VE from a virtual DVD-ROM drive loaded with an affected ISO file.

Impact:
The system does not fully boot and hangs, preventing you from performing an installation or using the live environment for other recovery purposes.

Workaround:
To work around this issue, boot the BIG-IP VE from an ISO file earlier than 14.1.0. If necessary, install that version, and then upgrade to 14.1.0 using the live installer.

753860-4 : Virtual server config changes causing incorrect route injection.

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
Updating the virtual server to use a different virtual address (VADDR) does not work as expected. The old VADDR route should remove and inject the new route for the new virtual address. Instead, it injects incorrect routes into the routing protocols.

Conditions:
-- Change the VADDR on a virtual server.
-- Set route-advertisement on both VADDRs.

Impact:
Incorrect routes are injected into routing protocols.

Workaround:
None.

751924-1 : TSO packet bit fails IPsec during ESP encryption

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
Internal error when an unexpected packet bit for TCP segment offload manages to reach crypto code for ESP in IPsec, when this is not expected.

Conditions:
Traffic passing through ESP encapsulation for an IPsec tunnel when the TSO bit (for TcpSegmentationOffload) is set on the packet involved.

Impact:
Traffic disrupted while tmm restarts.

Workaround:
None.

751581-4 : REST API Timeout while queriying large number of persistence profiles

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
When you have a large number of collections in BIG-IP, REST API seems to be timed out without any response from BIG-IP

Conditions:
When BIG-IP has large number of persistence profiles.

Impact:
REST API gets timed out when REST API queries the BIG-IP for persistence profiles. There is no response sent for given REST API.

Workaround:
When you have a large number of collections, you are recommended to use paging mechanism.

Please refer https://devcentral.f5.com/d/icontrol-rest-user-guide-version-131-246.

"iControl ® REST supports pagination options for large collections.

751021-5 : One or more TMM instances may be left without dynamic routes.

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
Inspecting the BIG-IP's routing table (for instance, using tmsh or ZebOS commands) shows that dynamic routes have been learnt correctly and should be in effect.

However, while passing traffic through the system, you experience intermittent failures. Further investigation reveals that the failures are limited to one or more TMM instances (all other TMM instances are processing traffic correctly). The situation does not self-recover and the system remains in this state indefinitely.

An example of a traffic failure can be a client connection reset with cause 'No route to host'. If the client retries the same request, and this hits a different TMM instance, the request might succeed.

Conditions:
This issue is known to occur when all of the following conditions are met:

- The system is a multi-blade VIPRION or vCMP cluster.

- The system just underwent an event such as a software upgrade, a reboot of one or more blades, a restart of the services on one or more blades, etc.

Impact:
Traffic fails intermittently, with errors that point to lack of routes to certain destinations.

Workaround:
You can try to temporarily resolve the issue by restarting the tmrouted daemon on all blades. To do so, run the following command:

# clsh "bigstart restart tmrouted"

However, there is no strict guarantee this will resolve the issue, given the nature of the issue.

Alternatively, you could temporarily replace the dynamic routes with static routes.

750588-2 : While loading large configurations on BIG-IP systems, some daemons may core intermittently.

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
When manually copying a large config file and running 'tmsh load sys config' on specific hardware BIG-IP platforms, multiple cores may be observed from different daemons.

Conditions:
This has been observed on i4800 platforms when the 'management' provisioning (corresponding to the provision.extramb DB key) is set to 500 MB or less.

Impact:
The mcp daemon may core and all daemons on the BIG-IP system may be restarted.

Workaround:
Set db key 'provision.extramb' to 1024 or greater.

749249-3 : IPsec tunnels fail to establish and 100% cpu on multi-blade BIG-IP

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
IPsec tunnels fail to establish and CPUs go to 100%.

Conditions:
- IPsec tunnels configured.
- System has multiple blades.

Impact:
The CPU exhaustion may cause system instability.

The tmm logs may contain large numbers of messages similar to the following:

-- notice SA is not in LARVAL state when receives PFKEY UPDATE: src=50.1.1.53 dst=40.1.1.50 spi=0xc9cd688 proto=0x32 dir=0x1:IN reqid=0.0:0:0x10c81 state=1

Workaround:
For vCMP systems, provision the Guest on one blade only. There is no workaround for bare-metal systems.

748355-3 : MRF SIP curr_pending_calls statistic can show negative values.

Component: Service Provider

Symptoms:
Certain irregular SIP message patterns may produce an erroneous curr_pending_calls value that can drop below zero and underflow.

Conditions:
Uncommon message flows like re-transmitted INVITE or OK responses can trigger the issue, which may be brought about at times by lost packets when using UDP.

Impact:
SIP curr_pending_calls may show incorrect values.

747203-1 : Fragile NATT IKEv2 interface mode tunnel suffers RST after flow-not-found after forwarding

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
-- SYN/ACK packets arriving on a tunnel fail to be matched to an existing flow followed by a RST issued by the BIG-IP system.
-- The BIG-IP system reports 'no flow found'.
-- MAC addresses can contain random values, or fe:fe:fe:fe:fe:fe.

Conditions:
-- Using IKEv2 with both NAT-T and interface mode.
-- The BIG-IP is configured to use several tmm instances.
-- The combination of IP addresses and port numbers result in distributing legs of processing one flow across several tmm instances.

Impact:
NATT/ESP tunnel flows can end with a RST reset.

Workaround:
None.

746464-7 : MCPD sync errors and restart after multiple modifications to file object in chassis

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
Upon modifying file objects on a VIPRION chassis and synchronizing those changes to another VIPRION chassis in a device sync group, the following symptoms may occur:

1. Errors are logged to /var/log/ltm similar to the following:

-- err mcpd[<#>]: 0107134b:3: (rsync: link_stat "/config/filestore/.snapshots_d/<_additional_path_to/_affected_file_object_>" (in csync) failed: No such file or directory (2) ) errno(0) errstr().
-- err mcpd[<#>]: 0107134b:3: (rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c(1298) [receiver=2.6.8] syncer /usr/bin/rsync failed! (5888) () Couldn't rsync files for mcpd. ) errno(0) errstr().
-- err mcpd[<#>]: 0107134b:3: (rsync process failed.) errno(255) errstr().
-- err mcpd[<#>]: 01070712:3: Caught configuration exception (0), Failed to sync files..

2. MCPD may restart on a secondary blade in a VIPRION chassis that is receiving the configuration sync from the chassis where the file object changes were made.

Conditions:
This can be encountered when rapidly making changes to files such as creating and then deleting them while the config sync of the file creation is still in progress.

Impact:
Temporary loss of functionality, including interruption in traffic, on one or more secondary blades in one or more VIPRION chassis that are receiving the configuration sync.

Workaround:
After performing one set of file-object modifications and synchronizing those changes to the high availability (HA) group members, wait for one or more minutes to allow all changes to be synchronized to all blades in all member chassis before making and synchronizing changes to the same file-objects.

744407-2 : While the client has been closed, iRule function should not try to check on a closed session

Component: Access Policy Manager

Symptoms:
tmm cores. System posts a message:

access::session exists is used during CLIENT_CLOSED iRule event.

Conditions:
-- Client has closed the connection.
-- iRule function tries to check on a closed session.
-- An 'access session::exists' command is used inside the iRule event CLIENT_CLOSED.

Impact:
tmm may core. Traffic disrupted while tmm restarts.

Workaround:
Do not use the iRule command 'access session::exists' inside CLIENT_CLOSED.

744280-4 : Enabling or disabling a Distributed Application results in a small memory leak

Component: Global Traffic Manager (DNS)

Symptoms:
Enabling or disabling a Distributed Application results in an 8 byte memory leak.

Conditions:
Enabling or disabling a Distributed Application.

Impact:
8 bytes of memory are leaked every time a Distributed Application is enabled or disabled. If Distributed Applications are repeatedly programmatically enabled and disabled, over time, the system might eventually exhaust all available memory.

Workaround:
None.

743946-1 : Tmsh loads schema versions 12.x and earlier which are no longer supported★

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
BIG-IP systems support directly upgrading to a new version from the previous two major BIG-IP versions.
Thus, upgrading to BIG-IP version 15.x from BIG-IP version 13.x, 14.x or 15.x is supported.

Similarly, tmsh and iControl REST interfaces allow a previous version to be specified, to interpret commands and format responses according to the specified schema versions.
Thus, schema versions 13.x, 14.x and 15.x are supported by tmsh and iControlREST.

However:
Affected versions of BIG-IP version 15.x still load unsupported 12.x and 11.x tmsh schema versions.
Affected versions of BIG-IP version 14.x still load unsupported 11.x tmsh schema versions.

Conditions:
This occurs on affected versions of BIG-IP.

Impact:
Instances of tmsh consume more memory (averaging approximately 16MB per instance on BIG-IP version 15.1.0) due to loading unsupported 12.x and 11.x schemas.
If a large number of tmsh instances are loaded (due to a large number of users logged in, and particularly a large number of remotely-authenticated users), tmsh memory consumption can contribute to out-of-memory conditions.

Workaround:
None.

743803-6 : IKEv2 potential double free of object when async request queueing fails

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
TMM may core during an IPsec cleanup of a failed async operation.

Conditions:
When an async IPsec crypto operation fails to queue.

Impact:
Restart of tmm. All tunnels lost must be re-established.

Workaround:
No workaround known at this time.

742549-4 : Cannot create non-ASCII entities in non-UTF ASM policy using REST

Component: Application Security Manager

Symptoms:
You cannot create non-ASCII entities (such as URLs and parameters) in a non-UTF-8 policy using REST.

Conditions:
-- The policy is configured for an encoding other than UTF-8.
-- Attempting to create non-ASCII entries using REST.

Impact:
You cannot create an entity (such as a URL or parameter) which contains non-ASCII characters using REST.

Workaround:
Use UTF-8.

741676-4 : Intermittent crash switching between tunnel mode and interface mode

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
Changing the policy mode for an IPsec tunnel can crash when switching back and forth between tunnel mode and interface mode.

Conditions:
Changing mode in ipsec-policy from tunnel to interface, or vice versa.

Impact:
A tmm restart, after a core, interrupts all IPsec tunnel service until new SAs are negotiated to replace the old ones.

Workaround:
Start with desired mode, tunnel or interface, and avoid changing the value from one to the other.

741222-1 : Install epsec1.0.0 into software partition.★

Component: Access Policy Manager

Symptoms:
On some hardware configurations, after the BIG-IP software upgrade, epsec1.0.0 install fails.

Conditions:
-- Upgrade from earlier versions to BIG-IP 14.1.0.
-- Attempting to install epsec1.0.0.

Note: This occurs on only some hardware platforms, including the following:
  + BIG-IP 4000
  + BIG-IP i2800 series
  + BIG-IP Virtual Edition
  + BIG-IP vCMP Guest

Impact:
Unable to install or use software check with APM endpoint inspection.

Workaround:
There is no workaround other than upgrading to a fixed version of the software.

741213-1 : Modifying disabled PEM policy causes coredump

Component: Policy Enforcement Manager

Symptoms:
TMM undergoes core dump after a disabled policy has a new rule added.

Conditions:
-- Add a rule to disabled PEM policy.
-- Enable the PEM policy, and this policy is applied by PCRF.
-- Traffic is generated for this subscriber.

Impact:
TMM restarts. Traffic disrupted while tmm restarts.

Workaround:
Modify a PEM policy only when the policy is enabled.

738330-4 : /mgmt/toc endpoint issue after configuring remote authentication

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
'Invalid username or password.' error on the /mgmt/toc page after configuring remote authentication.

Conditions:
When remote auth is configured.

Impact:
Cannot configure remote authentication.

After configuring remote authentication, you can login to the mgmt/toc area with the admin user, but using a remote auth user ended up with 'You are not authorized to use this resource'.

Workaround:
On BIG-IP versions since 14.1.0.6 and 13.1.1.5:

Enable 'Fallback to Local' in the remote auth config section on the BIG-IP system:
tmsh modify auth source fallback true.

Both local BIG-IP user 'admin' and LDAP user are now able to authenticate and access https://XX.XX.XX.XX/mgmt/toc.

On other versions of BIG-IP software, there is no workaround.

737558 : Protocol Inspection user interface elements are active but do not work

Component: Protocol Inspection

Symptoms:
Protocol Inspection (PI) user interface options are present, but are not applied to traffic.

Protocol Inspection (PI) now requires the presence of either an add-on subscription or an AFM standalone license for any of the features to work. A 'Good' or 'Better' license does not activate the PI features. The Configuration Utility still allows you to configure inspection profiles, compliance checks, and signatures, but they are not applied to traffic. There is no feedback that they are not applied.

Conditions:
-- AFM licensed and provisioned through 'Good' or 'Better' license, but no add-on subscription license for Protocol Inspection. Alternately, AFM licensed as an add-on module to another module (typically LTM).

-- PI profile configured and applied to a virtual server or referenced in a firewall rule in an active firewall policy.

Impact:
If you previously had Protocol Inspection configured without the add-on license installed, the features are no longer applied to traffic until the add-on license is obtained. However, the GUI options remain active.

Workaround:
None.

726900-2 : Switching from FastL4 or TCP profiles to an ipother profile may leave a virtual server with stale TCP syncookie parameters

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
Virtual server may attempt to use syncookies on first SYN packet rather than allowing the connection to pass through to the real server.

Conditions:
Modifying a virtual server (CLI/iControl/GUI) to switch from FastL4 or TCP profiles to an 'ip-other' profile.

Impact:
The configured 'ip-other' virtual server will fail to accept all traffic. For example, a TCP or a UDP flow which should have been accepted and processed by the 'ip-other' virtual server will be dropped incorrectly, trying to enforce 'Syn Cookie' validation.

Workaround:
When switching a virtual server profile from FastL4/TCP to the 'ip-other' profile, delete the virtual server and then re-add it with the 'ip-other' profile.

726518-2 : Tmsh show command terminated with CTRL-C can cause TMM to crash.

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
TMM crash when running show ltm clientssl-proxy cached-certs virtual [name] clientssl-profile [name]

Conditions:
-- Running the command:
show ltm clientssl-proxy cached-certs virtual [name] clientssl-profile [name].
- The command is terminated by the client connection, aborting with CTRL-C.

Impact:
Traffic disrupted while tmm restarts.

Workaround:
Do not terminate tmsh show commands with CTRL-C.

724994-5 : API requests with 'expandSubcollections=true' are very slow

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
Submitting an iControl REST query using the option 'expandedSubcollections=true' takes significantly longer to return than one without that option. For example, the command 'https://localhost/mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual?expandSubcollections=true' takes significantly longer than the command 'https://localhost/mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual'.

Conditions:
Submitting a query using expandedSubcollections=true.

Impact:
The response takes significantly longer to return

Workaround:
The additional processing time occurs because the 'expandedSubCollections' parameter fetches all the related associated elements. You can use the following alternative to retrieve the virtual configuration:

1. Run the following query:
GET mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual

2. Obtain the list of virtual servers by:
2a. parsing either the selfLink or the fullPath properties in the response items array, where the response is from step 1.
2b. writing an iControlLX worker that does this.

Note: Writing a worker abstracts the parsing logic into a user-defined endpoint. It provides API access to the data.

3. Iterate over the virtual servers querying each with the option 'expandSubcollections=true'.

722230-2 : Cannot delete FQDN template node if another FQDN node resolves to same IP address

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
If multiple FQDN nodes and corresponding pool members are created, with FQDN names that resolve to the same (or a common) IP address, you may not be able to delete any of the affected FQDN nodes even after its corresponding FQDN pool member has been deleted.

Conditions:
This occurs under the following conditions
-- Multiple FQDN template nodes exist with FQDN names that resolve to the same (or a common) IP address.
-- FQDN pool members exist for each FQDN template node, with corresponding ephemeral pool members for each which share the same IP address.
-- One of the FQDN pool members is removed from its pool.
-- You attempt to delete the corresponding FQDN template node.

Impact:
The FQDN template node remains in the configuration and cannot be deleted, while an ephemeral node or pool member exists with an IP address corresponding to that FQDN name.

Workaround:
To work around this issue:
1. Remove all remaining conflicting FQDN pool members (with FQDN names that resolve to the shared/conflicting IP address).
2. Delete the desired FQDN node.
3. Re-create the remaining FQDN pool members to replace those removed in step 1.

720440-5 : Radius monitor marks pool members down after 6 seconds

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
The radius monitor marks a pool member down if it does not respond within 6 seconds, regardless of the interval or timeout settings in the monitor configuration.

Conditions:
A radius monitor is used, and the pool member takes more than 6 seconds to respond to a radius request.

Impact:
The pool member may be marked down incorrectly if the monitor interval is configured to be greater than 6 seconds.

Workaround:
There is no workaround at this time.

719589-1 : GUI and CLI category lookup test tool returning different categories compared to the actual data-plane traffic

Component: Access Policy Manager

Symptoms:
GUI and CLI category lookup test tool (Access Policy :: Secure Web Gateway : Database Settings : URL Category Lookup) can return different categories compared to the actual data-plane traffic

Conditions:
Access Policy, Secure Web Gateway : Database Settings : URL Category Lookup or command line lookup using 'urldb -c' construction.

Impact:
Some websites may be categorized differently depending on whether or not the IP is passed in. Correct category may not be returned.

Workaround:
None.

719555-4 : Interface listed as 'disable' after SFP insertion and enable

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
If an unpopulated front panel interface is disabled, then an SFP inserted and the interface re-enabled, TMSH will continue to display the interface as 'disabled' in 'tmsh show net interface output' commands.

Conditions:
-- BIG-IP appliance or blade.
-- Unpopulated front panel interface is disabled.
-- SFP inserted and the interface re-enabled.
-- Running the command: tmsh show net interface output.

Impact:
Output of the command shows the interface is disabled even though it is enabled and fully operational.

Workaround:
This issue is cosmetic; the interface is functional so it may be used.

To correctly identify the enabled/disabled state of the interface, use the following command: tmsh list net interface

718796-4 : IControl REST token issue after upgrade★

Component: Device Management

Symptoms:
When upgrading to version 13.1.0.x, sometimes a user who previously had permissions to make calls to iControl REST loses the ability to make those calls.

Conditions:
-- Upgrading to version 13.1.0.x.
-- iControl REST.

Impact:
A previously privileged user can no longer query iControl REST. Also, some remotely authenticated users may loose access to the Network Map and Analytics view after the upgrade.

Workaround:
You can repair the current users permissions with the following process:

   1) Delete the state maintained by IControlRoleMigrationWorker and let it rerun by restarting restjavad process:
      # restcurl -X DELETE "shared/storage?key=shared/authz/icontrol-role-migrator"
      # bigstart restart restjavad.

   2) Update shared/authz/roles/iControl_REST_API_User userReference list to add repro user account using PUT:
      # restcurl shared/authz/roles/iControl_REST_API_User > role.json
      # vim role.json and add { "link": "https://localhost/mgmt/shared/authz/users/[your-user-name]" } object to userReferences list
      # curl -u admin:admin -X PUT -d@role.json http://localhost/mgmt/shared/authz/roles/iControl_REST_API_User

Now, when you create a new user, the permissions should start in a healthy state.

718790-4 : Traffic does not forward to fallback host when all pool members are marked down

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
Traffic does not get forwarded to fallback hosts.

Conditions:
-- HTTP Profile configured with Fallback Host.
-- All the pool members are marked administrative down.

Impact:
Traffic does not get forwarded.

Workaround:
Pick a monitor working properly for the pool.

718405-4 : RSA signature PAYLOAD_AUTH mismatch with certificates

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
IPsec IKEv2 negotiation with other vendors may fail to establish tunnels when certificate authentication is configured, using either RSA signature or DSS.

The value of PAYLOAD_AUTH does not match when the BIG-IP system compares it with what the remote peer sends. The same certificate works when the BIG-IP system is the initiator, but not when another vendor is the initiator.

Conditions:
Interoperating with other vendors under IKEv2 while using certificates.

Impact:
IKEv2 tunnels fail to establish, failing the second IKE_AUTH exchange in the protocol.

Workaround:
Use pre-shared key authentication.

718288-1 : MCPD might crash on secondary blades when DNSSEC client-facing SOA zone serial not updated

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
In certain cases, a DNSSEC client-facing SOA zone serial does not always update when DNSSEC-related resource records change. That might cause MCPD to crash on secondary blade.

Conditions:
A DNSSEC-related resource record changes.

Impact:
A DNSSEC client-facing SOA zone serial may not always update. That might cause MCPD crash on secondary blade. Traffic disrupted while MCPD restarts.

Workaround:
None.

718108-4 : It is not possible to core the icrd_child process if iControl REST requests were sent to the BIG-IP system using non-admin accounts

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
When trying to create a diagnostic core file of the icrd_child process (for example, using the command: kill -6 <PID>), the process restarts but does not create a core file.

Conditions:
iControl REST requests are sent to the BIG-IP system using non-administrative (or resource admin) user accounts.

Impact:
This issue may hinder F5 Support efforts to diagnose memory leaks or other issues affecting the icrd_child process.

Workaround:
There are two workarounds for this issue.

Workaround #1:
The problem can be avoided by making calls to iControl REST using only User IDs that have the 'Admin' or 'Resource Admin' roles.

Note: If iControl REST calls have already been made with User IDs that have a role other than 'Admin' or 'Resource Admin', the 'restjavad' process must be restarted before core files can be created for icrd_child processes.

Workaround #2:
If iControl REST calls have already been made with User IDs that have a role other than 'Admin' or 'Resource Admin', and a core file is needed for a currently running icrd_child process, running the following two commands in the Advanced Shell (aka bash) creates the core file.

1: "echo 2 > /proc/sys/fs/suid_dumpable"
2: "pkill -6 icrd_child"

Note: The commands are shown inside quotation marks but do not include the quotations marks.

715379-4 : IKEv2 accepts asn1dn for peers-id only as file path of certificate file

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
IKEv2 only has a very inconvenient way to specify ID for an ike-peer when using peers-id-type asn1dn. The string value of peers-id-value was understood only as a file path, and not as a representation of the asn1dn value itself. The file had to be a certificate, whose subject happened to be the ID of the remote peer as a distinguished name (DN), so this could be extracted as binary DER for asn1dn. This was both awkward and error prone, requiring what amounts to a copy of a peer's certificate before it is sent during negotiation.

Conditions:
-- Using certificate based authentication in IPsec IKEv2.
-- Configuring an ike-peer with peers-id-type as asn1dn.

Impact:
Very difficult to use asn1dn as the ID of a peer, impeding inter-operation with other vendors.

Workaround:
If you can install a local copy of the peer's certificate, with an asn1dn value inside matching what that peer will actually send in an IKE_AUTH exchange, IKEv2 can extract the asn1dn provided the value of peers-id-value is an absolute file system path to this local certificate copy.

714502-1 : bigd restarts after loading a UCS for the first time

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
bigd restarts when loading a UCS for the first time, where the load succeeds; and no related messages are reported in /var/log/ltm; and no bigd core file is produced.

Conditions:
bigd loads a UCS file for the first time, such as after the command:
tmsh load sys ucs no-license keep-current-management-ip no-platform-check

Impact:
The UCS file is correctly reloaded, and bigd restarts with the loaded configuration. No bigd core is produced, and no related messages are found in /var/log/ltm. After restart, bigd performs all system functions as expected.

Workaround:
System runs as expected after the bigd restart, and the user need not take any action.

714216-3 : Folder in a partition may result in load sys config error

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
If you run the command 'tmsh load sys config current-partition' in a partition that includes a folder, the command may return an error.

Conditions:
This occurs in the following scenario:
-- Create a partition.
-- Create a folder in that partition.
-- In the newly-created partition.
-- Save the configuration with the command 'save sys conf'.
-- In the same partition, run the following command to load the configuration: 'tmsh load sys config current-partition'.

Impact:
The load configuration process fails with an error that the folder does not exist.

710930-4 : Enabling BigDB key bigd.tmm may cause SSL monitors to fail

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
When bigd.tmm is enabled, SSL monitors may begin to fail.

Conditions:
-- The in-tmm monitoring feature is enabled via the bigd.tmm db variable (it is disabled by default)
-- The cipher string of the attached SSL profile uses keywords that are invalid with TMM.

Impact:
The cipher string will no longer be valid when bigd.tmm is enabled and the keywords will need to be modified or removed. SSL monitors begin to fail after modifying bigd.tmm.

Workaround:
Modify or remove incompatible keywords from the ciphers string; the in-tmm monitoring feature only allows ciphers that are allowed by SSL profiles.

710809-1 : Restjavad hangs and causes GUI page timeouts

Component: Device Management

Symptoms:
Restjavad stops responding, causing GUI page timeouts.

Conditions:
The conditions behind this issue are not known.

Impact:
restjavad is active, but all endpoints are nonresponsive.

Workaround:
Restart restjavad.

709381-3 : iRules LX plugin imported from a system with a different version does not properly run, and the associated iRule times out.

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
An iRules LX plugin does not properly run and messages similar to the following example are logged to the /var/log/ltm file:

err tmm[17616]: 01220001:3: TCL error: /Common/my-plugin/my-rule <HTTP_REQUEST> - ILX timeout. invoked from within "ILX::call $ilx_handle -timeout 3000 my-function"

Conditions:
An iRules LX workspace archive is imported to BIG-IP version 13.1.0 or later from a previous software version.

It should be noted this is what happens during a regular software upgrade. Therefore, you might encounter this issue when upgrading a system to BIG-IP version 13.1.0 or later.

Impact:
The affected iRules LX are not functional under the new software version, and the virtual servers utilizing them will experience various failures.

Workaround:
Change the node version from 0.12.15 to 6.9.1 and back.

706782-4 : Inefficient APM processing in large configurations.

Component: Access Policy Manager

Symptoms:
In configurations with large numbers of virtual servers or other entities, the apmd, oauth, and localdbmgr processes may consume large amounts of system resources.

Conditions:
-- Large configuration.
-- APM provisioned.
-- Multiple traffic groups exacerbate the effect.

Impact:
Heavy use of odd-numbered CPU cores may slow all control-plane operations, including user-interface response.

Workaround:
None known.

706685-2 : The web UI becomes unresponsive after certain commands

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
The web UI becomes unresponsive after certain commands

Conditions:
Running certain commands

Impact:
The web UI becomes unresponsive

Workaround:
Reload the page

705112-5 : DHCP server flows are not re-established after expiration

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
DHCP relay agent does not have server flows connecting to all active DHCP servers after a while.

Conditions:
- More than one DHCP servers configured for a DHCP virtual.
- Server flows timeout in 60 seconds

Impact:
DHCP server traffic not load balanced.

Workaround:
None.

703090-2 : With many iApps configured, scriptd may fail to start

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
If many iApp instances are installed, scriptd may have issues starting up, including the log message:

"script has exceeded its time to live, terminating the script"

Conditions:
This occurs when many iApp instances exist. F5's internal testing has been able to show that it occurs with 70 instances.

Impact:
The error message will show up, and some instances of the script will not run.

Workaround:
Restarting scriptd will resolve the issue.

688399-1 : HSB failure results in continuous TMM restarts

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
The TMM is continually restarted due to lack of HSB PDE device. When this issue occurs, HSB errors may be present in the TMM log files, prior to a TMM core (SIGSEGV).

Conditions:
It's unknown how this issue occurs.

Impact:
TMM continually restarts until the unit is rebooted. Traffic disrupted while tmm restarts. The reboot appears to clear the condition.

Workaround:
Manually reboot the unit.

685593-4 : Access session iRules can fail with error 'Illegal argument'

Component: Access Policy Manager

Symptoms:
Certain Access iRules can cause an argument error to occur. Errors in iRule logs appear similar to the following: session ID lookup failed - Illegal argument (line 1).

Conditions:
ACCESS::session iRules are used, for example:
-- ACCESS::session sid.
-- ACCESS::session data get {session.server.landinguri}.
-- ACCESS::session data get {session.policy.result}.

Impact:
Tcl error occurs and the connection is reset. The system posts the 'Illegal argument" message in the iRules logs.

Workaround:
There is no workaround at this time.

677683 : Unexpected LOP reset

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
These symptoms can be seen on BIG-IP B2100 and B2150 blades.

When the AOM resets itself unexpectedly, these types of symptoms can be observed:

-- LED alarm light may be red.

-- Messages may be logged to /var/log/ltm.

Examples of typical messages:
-- warning chmand[6890]: 012a0004:4: getLopReg Dev error: LopDev: sendLopCmd: Lopd status: 2 packet: action=1 obj_id=67 sub_obj=0 slot_id=ff result=0 len=3 crc=0 payload=28 8 4 (error code:0x0)

-- err chmand[6890]: 012a0003:3: GET_STAT failure (status=0x2) page=0x28 reg=0x8 : File mgmtif/BourneMgmtIfSvc.cpp Line 282

-- notice chmand[6890]: 012a0005:5: Tmstat::updateMgmtIf: Lop error

-- warning chmand[6890]: 012a0004:4: getLopReg Dev error: LopDev: sendLopCmd: Lopd status: 2 packet: action=1 obj_id=67 sub_obj=0 slot_id=ff result=0 len=3 crc=0 payload=1 0 2 (error code:0x0)

-- err chmand[6890]: 012a0003:3: GET_MEDIA failure (status=0x2) page=0x1 reg=0x0 : File mgmtif/BourneMgmtIfSvc.cpp Line 376

Conditions:
This may occur on BIG-IP B2100 and B2150 blades.

Additional conditions under which this occurs are not well understood.

Impact:
These errors are effectively benign:

-- The watchdog/reset feature of the AOM controller provides resilience to recover from unexpected fault conditions.

-- The AOM re-initializes and comes back to proper operating state in the system.

-- Production traffic is not affected.

Workaround:
There is no workaround.

675911-7 : Different sections of the WebUI can report incorrect CPU utilization

Solution Article: K13272442

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
The following sections of the WebUI can report incorrect (i.e. higher than expected) CPU utilization:

- The "download history" option found in the Flash dashboard

- Statistics › Performance › Traffic Report (section introduced in version 12.1.0)

Values such as 33%, 66% and 99% may appear in these sections despite the system being potentially completely idle.

Conditions:
HT-Split is enabled (this is the default for platforms that support it).

Impact:
Incorrect CPU utilization is reported by multiple sections of the WebUI, which can confuse BIG-IP Administrators and cause unnecessary alarm.

Workaround:
You can obtain CPU history through various other means. One way is to use the sar utility.

In 12.x and 13.x:
  sar -f /var/log/sa6/sa
or for older data
  sar -f /var/log/sa6/sa.1
The oldest data is found compressed in /var/log/sa6 and must be gunzipped before use.

In 11.x:
  sar -f /var/log/sa/sa
or for older data
  sar -f /var/log/sa/sa.1
The oldest data is found compressed in /var/log/sa and must be gunzipped before use.

Live CPU utilization also can be obtained through various other means. Including: the Performance Graphs, SNMP polling, iControl polling, various command-line utilities such as top, etc.

673573-2 : tmsh logs boost assertion when running child process and reaches idle-timeout

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
An idle-timeout occurs while running a sub-process in interactive mode, resulting in a log message. tmsh logs a benign but ominous-looking critical error to the console and to /var/log/ltm if a tmsh command reaches idle timeout and a spawned sub-process is still running.

The errors in /var/log/ltm begin with the following text:
'boost assertion failed'

Conditions:
-- tmsh command reaches idle timeout.
-- Spawned sub-process is still running.

Impact:
Although the wording indicates a failure, the message is benign and you can safely ignore it.

Workaround:
None.

671372-6 : When creating a pool and modifying all of its members in a single transaction, the pool will be created but the members will not be modified.

Solution Article: K01930721

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
When creating a pool and modifying all of its members in a single transaction, the pool will be created but the members will not be modified.

Conditions:
-- Creating a pool.
-- Modifying all of its members in a single tmsh transaction.

Impact:
The pool will be created but the members will not be modified.

Workaround:
Create a pool in one transaction; followed by modifying members in another transaction.

665117-6 : DNS configured with 2 Generic hosts for different DataCenters, with same monitors, servers status flapping

Solution Article: K33318158

Component: Global Traffic Manager (DNS)

Symptoms:
DNS Server status flapping from red-green-red.

Conditions:
-- Two generic hosts in two different DataCenters;
-- Two generic hosts are not available through DNS;
-- Same monitor with available alias IP/port configured.

Impact:
Server status flaps from red to green and back.

Workaround:
Check Transparent for these monitors.

663925-2 : Virtual server state not updated with pool- or node-based connection limiting

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
Rate- or connection-limited pool members and nodes do not immediately affect virtual server status.

Conditions:
The connection count reaches the configured connection limit.

Impact:
Virtual server is automatically disabled when connection limit is reached and returns from the unavailable state after connections decrease.

The actual functionality of connection-limiting is occuring at the tmm level (you can see connections rejection after reaching the max limit in logs). The system is just not logging status in mcp as update_status is not being called automatically.

Workaround:
None.

640842-4 : ASM end user using mobile might be blocked when CSRF is enabled

Component: Application Security Manager

Symptoms:
Users report their access is blocked; when you look at the error log, you see CSRF errors.

Conditions:
-- CSRF enabled on ASM.
-- ASM client is using a mobile device.

Impact:
Client is blocked.

Workaround:
None.

636842-4 : A FastL4 virtual server may drop a FIN packet when mirroring is enabled

Solution Article: K51472519

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
A FastL4 virtual server may drop a FIN packet when mirroring is enabled.

Conditions:
- The virtual server uses the FastL4 profile.
- The virtual server performs mirroring.
- The tm.fastl4_ack_mirror db key is enabled (default).
- The client or the server sends a FIN packet, immediately followed by a RST packet.

Impact:
The BIG-IP system forwards the RST packet but not the FIN packet.

As the RST sent by one of the TCP endpoints would have its sequence number increased by 1 to account for the FIN packet, the other TCP endpoint may not accept the RST as the FIN packet was never seen.

This issue is exacerbated if the FIN packet also carries application data (for example, if it is actually a FIN,PSH,ACK packet). In this case, the other TCP endpoint never sees the application data contained within the packet, and the sequence number in the RST will be off by more than just 1.

Ultimately this can cause application failures and also the two connection flows to stall for some time.

Workaround:
To workaround this issue you can either:

1) Disable mirroring for the virtual server (but this comes with a loss of functionality, which may not be acceptable).

or

2) Disable the tm.fastl4_ack_mirror db key (but this would affect all FastL4 virtual servers performing mirroring on the box).

617929-1 : Support non-default route domains

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
Some connections are reset

Conditions:
This occurs when the device is configured with non-default route domains when connecting to other tmms over the backplane

Impact:
Traffic processing failure

Workaround:
None

605675-5 : Sync requests can be generated faster than they can be handled

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
Configuration changes in quick succession might generate sync change messages faster than the receiving BIG-IP system can parse them. The sending BIG-IP system's queue for its peer connection fills up, mcp fails to allocate memory, and then the system generates a core file.

Conditions:
Configuration changes in quick succession that might generate sync-change messages.

Impact:
Core file and sync operation does not complete as expected. The possibility for this occurring depends on the size and complexity of the configuration, which impacts the time required to sync, and the traffic load occurring at the time of the sync operation.

Workaround:
None.

601220-2 : Multi-blade trunks seem to leak packets ingressed via one blade to a different blade

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
When a multi-blade VIPRION deployment first starts up or recovers from a chassis-wide force-offline/release-offline event, multi-blade trunks seem to leak packets that ingressed on one blade, out the same trunk's member interfaces on other blades.

Conditions:
-- Multi-blade VIPRION deployment.
-- Chassis-wide reboot or force-offline/release-offline event occurs.

Impact:
This is a very intermittent issue that is not reproducible and happens for only a few milliseconds. This may temporarily impact the upstream switch L2 FDB and cause slight traffic redirection as the upstream switch will learn the source MAC of the gratuitous ARPing host from the same trunk the traffic was broadcast to.

Note: This is not an F5-specific problem. It occurs on every stack switch hardware under these conditions.

Workaround:
There is no workaround.

601189-5 : The BIG-IP system might send TCP packets out of order in fastl4 in syncookie mode

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
The BIG-IP system might send TCP packets out of order in Fastl4 in syncookie mode.

Conditions:
-- Fastl4 VS.
-- syncookie mode.

Impact:
TCP packet are sent out of order.

Workaround:
None.

593536-8 : Device Group with incremental ConfigSync enabled might report 'In Sync' when devices have differing configurations

Solution Article: K64445052

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
Devices do not have matching configuration, but system reports device group as being 'In Sync'.

Conditions:
This occurs when the following conditions are met:
-- Device Service Cluster Device Group with incremental sync is enabled.
-- A ConfigSync operation occurs where a configuration transaction fails validation.
-- A subsequent (or the final) configuration transaction is successful.

Impact:
The BIG-IP system incorrectly reports that the configuration is in-sync, despite the fact that it is not in sync. You might experience various, unexpected failures or unexplained behavior or traffic impact from this.

Workaround:
Turn off incremental sync (by enabling 'Full Sync' / 'full load on sync') for affected device groups.

Once the systems are in sync, you can turn back on incremental sync, and it will work as expected.

591732-6 : Local password policy not enforced when auth source is set to a remote type.

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
Local password policy not enforced when auth source is set to a remote type. Any non-default password policy change is not enforced for local users.

Conditions:
1) Some part of the local password policy has been changed from the default values, for example, changing the password minimum-length to 12 where the default is 6.

2) The auth source is set to a remote source, such as LDAP, AD, TACACS.

Impact:
The system does not enforce any of the non-default local password policy options.

For example, even if the minimum-length is set to 12, a local user's password can be set to something less than 12.

Another example, even if the max-duration is set to 90 days, the password does not expire for 99999 days (the default).

Workaround:
None.

587821-9 : vCMP Guest VLAN traffic failure after MCPD restarts on hypervisor.

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
On the affected slot, the vCMP guest is unable to pass traffic to or from the VLANs. If the guest has multiple slots, the CMP state logged in /var/log/tmm on that slot differs from the CMP state logged by other slots of the same guest.

In the vCMP guest, 'tmsh show net interface -hidden' shows 0.x interfaces for the affected slot that differ from the 0.x interfaces shown by 'tmsh show vcmp guest all-properties' on the vCMP hypervisor for the same guest slot.

Conditions:
The MCPD daemon on one of the blades of the vCMP hypervisor crashes or restarts.

Impact:
The vCMP guests that are still running since before the MCPD daemon restarted may be unable to communicate to VLAN networks. Incoming traffic may also be affected, even though the vCMP guest has other functional slots to process traffic.

Workaround:
On the hypervisor, modify the vCMP guest configuration to not run on the affected slot. Wait to confirm the vCMP guest has stopped on the affected slot. Then modify the vCMP guest to run on the previously affected slot.

Alternatively, modify the vCMP guest to the Configured state, and wait to confirm the vCMP guest has stopped on all slots. Then return the vCMP guest to the Deployed state.

579219-4 : Access keys missing from SessionDB after multi-blade reboot.

Component: Access Policy Manager

Symptoms:
Reboot a 4-blade vCMP guest. Now, only the master key for catalog remained. All subkeys are missing.

Conditions:
This can occur intermittently during a reboot in a multi-blade vCMP guest configured with APM.

Impact:
Some Access subkeys may be missing after the reboot.

Workaround:
Reboot the primary blade.

569859-6 : Password policy enforcement for root user when mcpd is not available

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
When the mcpd configuration database is not available password policy is not enforced when changing passwords for the user 'root' using the command-line utility 'passwd' utility.

Conditions:
-- Advanced shell access
-- mcpd is not available.
-- Change root password with the 'passwd' utility.

Impact:
Root password may be set to a string that does not comply with the current password policy.

Workaround:
None.

505037-6 : Modifying a monitored pool with a gateway failsafe device can put secondary into restart loop

Solution Article: K01993279

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
Modifying a monitored pool with a gateway failsafe device might put secondary into restart loop.

Conditions:
Only occurs in clustered environments, when modifying a monitored pool to set the gateway failsafe device while the secondary is down. Symptom occurs when the secondary comes back up and attempts to update the health status of a pool.

Impact:
Secondary in a restart loop.

Workaround:
Remove the gateway failsafe device. Re-apply when the blade is up.

474797-3 : Nitrox crypto hardware may attempt soft reset while currently resetting

Component: Local Traffic Manager

Symptoms:
Nitrox crypto hardware may attempt soft reset to clear a stuck condition while already engaged in a soft reset attempt.

Conditions:
Soft reset is needed to clear a stuck condition occurring in the timeframe during which another soft reset is occurring.

Impact:
The initial soft reset attempt does not complete as the process is restarted by the new attempt.

Workaround:
Correct the condition resulting in the need for the soft reset to clear the stuck condition or disable hardware-based crypto acceleration by setting db variable 'tmm.ssl.cn.shunt' to disable.

To disable hardware-based crypto acceleration issue the following command:

tmsh modify sys db tmm.ssl.cn.shunt value disable

Note: Disabling hardware-based crypto acceleration results in all crypto actions being processed in software, which might result in higher CPU and memory usage based on traffic patterns.

291256-1 : Changing 'Minimum Length' and 'Required Characters' might result in an error

Component: TMOS

Symptoms:
When setting a value for the password policy attribute 'Minimum Length', and setting 'Required Characters' 'Numeric', 'Uppercase', 'Lowercase', and 'Other' to values whose sum is greater than 'Minimum Length' the system does not save changes, and instead reports an error:

err mcpd[1647]: 01070903:3: Constraint 'min length must be greater than or equal to the sum of all "required" types of characters' failed for 'password_policy'

Conditions:
-- Change the value of 'Minimum Length'.
-- Change the values in 'Required Characters' ('Numeric', 'Uppercase', 'Lowercase', and 'Other').
-- The sum of the values from 'Required Characters' is a greater than 'Minimum Length' value before you changed it.

Here is an example:
1. From the default of '6', change 'Minimum Length' to 10.
2. At the same time, change each of the 'Required Characters' options ('Numeric', 'Uppercase', 'Lowercase', and 'Other') to '2', for a total of 8.
3. Click Update.

(These values should be work because the value in 'Minimum Length' (10) is greater than the sum of the values in 'Required Characters' (8).)

Impact:
The changes are not saved, and an error is posted:
Constraint 'min length must be greater than or equal to the sum of all "required" types of characters' failed for 'password_policy'.

Workaround:
You can use either of the following workarounds:

-- To workaround this using the GUI, set 'Minimum Length' and 'Required Characters' separately (i.e., specify 'Minimum Length' and click Update, and then specify 'Required Characters' and click Update).

-- Use tmsh instead of the GUI.

★ This issue may cause the configuration to fail to load or may significantly impact system performance after upgrade
