Bug ID 1113225: The tcam-mgr neuron client disconnects

Last Modified: May 29, 2024

Affected Product(s):
F5OS Velos(all modules)

Fixed In:
F5OS-C 1.6.0, F5OS-C 1.5.1

Opened: Jun 09, 2022

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

A tenant's neuron client connection to the tcam-mgr either disconnects without any indication to the tenant, or continually tries to re-establish this connection

Impact

The protection for the client when not using Fast L4 will not be properly established.

Conditions

When a tenant has greater than 512 virtual addresses with a wildcard virtual address (one that spans a vast domain of addresses), then the tenant restarts or the tenant's wildcard domain is not protected as would be expected.

Workaround

Configure less than 512 virtual addresses or rely on software-only protection.

Fix Information

The tcam-mgr can now receive and buffer any number of messages in a burst, and the disconnect will not happen.
