Opened: Jun 27, 2024

Severity: 4-Minor

Symptoms

Consider a case where there exists a nat policy with proxy-arp enabled overlapping with a virtual-address. If a nat policy proxy-arp option is removed some settings on a virtual-address might not take effect (arp disabled/icmp disabled).

Impact

Incorrect traffic handling.

Conditions

Example of affected configuration: security nat policy policy1 { rules { rule_001 { destination { addresses { 0.0.0.0/0 { } } proxy-arp enabled } ltm virtual-address 0.0.0.0 { address any arp disabled icmp-echo disabled mask any }

Workaround

After deleting proxy-arp option from nat policy, toggle one of settings of virtual-address.

Fix Information

None
