Fixed In:
17.0.0, 16.1.4, 15.1.9

Opened: Dec 13, 2021

Severity: 2-Critical

Symptoms

-- Incoming TCP/UDP traffic is not processed by virtual servers on the BIG-IP system. Instead, legitimate traffic appears to be dropped by the BIG-IP system. -- A tcpdump taken on the BIG-IP system shows the traffic arriving on VLAN 0 instead of the actual VLAN. -- Inspection of the dns_rapid_response_global tmstat table shows many entries in the failed_ifc column.

Impact

All TCP/UDP virtual servers fail to process incoming traffic.

Conditions

-- Using a BIG-IP 2000, 4000, or VE device. -- Using a trunk with an untagged VLAN. -- Using a virtual server with a dns profile configured for rapid-response.

Workaround

You can work around this issue by performing any one of the following actions: -- Avoid using an untagged VLAN with your trunks. -- Avoid using a trunk if you cannot avoid using untagged VLANs. -- Disable rapid-response in all dns profiles (this option is disabled by default).

Fix Information

TCP/UDP traffic is no longer dropped under the conditions described in this article.
