Last Modified: Oct 04, 2024

Fixed In:
15.1.4.1

Opened: Apr 16, 2021

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

The BIG-IP system provides an option to use Message Routing virtual servers for MQTT traffic. It uses a different approach to associate a client side and a server side than a standard virtual server. In some instances, a server side is incorrectly handled.

Impact

Traffic disrupted while tmm restarts.

Conditions

-- A Message Routing virtual with MQTT protocol. -- A client attempts to reconnect.

Workaround

None

Fix Information

When a client attempts to reconnect, and an existing server side connection is used, TMM correctly handles the connection's state and no longer crashes for this reason.
