Last Modified: Feb 28, 2025

Affected Product(s):
BIG-IP TMOS(all modules)

Known Affected Versions:
15.1.0, 15.1.0.1, 15.1.0.2, 15.1.0.3, 15.1.0.4, 15.1.0.5, 15.1.1, 15.1.2, 15.1.2.1, 15.1.3, 15.1.3.1, 15.1.4, 15.1.4.1, 15.1.5, 15.1.5.1, 15.1.6, 15.1.6.1, 15.1.7, 15.1.8, 15.1.8.1, 15.1.8.2, 15.1.9, 15.1.9.1, 15.1.10, 15.1.10.2, 15.1.10.3, 15.1.10.4, 15.1.10.5, 15.1.10.6, 16.1.0, 16.1.1, 16.1.2, 16.1.2.1, 16.1.2.2, 16.1.3, 16.1.3.1, 16.1.3.2, 16.1.3.3, 16.1.3.4, 16.1.3.5, 16.1.4, 16.1.4.1, 16.1.4.2, 16.1.4.3, 16.1.5, 16.1.5.1, 16.1.5.2, 17.1.0, 17.1.0.1, 17.1.0.2, 17.1.0.3, 17.1.1, 17.1.1.1, 17.1.1.2, 17.1.1.3, 17.1.1.4

Fixed In:
17.5.0, 17.1.2

Opened: Apr 05, 2024

Severity: 4-Minor

Symptoms

Currently existing tm.egressdscp db variable does not provide enough flexibility in configuring Quality of Service (QoS), as it applies to all egress TMM connections (including monitor traffic and other protocols). Add an option to QoS mark egress BFD packets.

Impact

No impact

Conditions

- Configuring QoS

Workaround

None

Fix Information

Added a new db variable TM.BFDEgressDscp controlling DSCP value of egress BFD packets. Default is 0 (zero). Following is an example: root@(bigip1)(cfg-sync Standalone)(Active)(/Common)(tmos)# list sys db tm.bfdegressdscp sys db tm.bfdegressdscp { value "45" }
