Bug ID 2291353: PCCD enters a loop while compiling NAT rules

Last Modified: Oct 11, 2026

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

Fixed In:
21.1.0

Opened: May 01, 2026

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

When this issue arises, the PCCD CPU usage increases to 100% and stays at that level until the PCCD daemon is restarted.

Impact

Once PCCD enters this state, it is unable to process or compile any new configurations until the daemon is restarted.

Conditions

The issue arises when NAT configurations are deleted and reapplied in a specific order. However, not all delete and reapply operations cause the problem.

Workaround

Restart the PCCD daemon to recover from the issue.

Fix Information

Implemented logic to ignore stale data from previous operations during NAT rule compilation, allowing the current compilation process to continue without entering a loop.
