Bug ID 2291393: Splitsession Traffic Fails

Last Modified: May 05, 2026

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

Known Affected Versions:
17.1.3.2, 17.5.1.4, 17.5.1.5, 17.5.1.6

Opened: May 01, 2026

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

Traffic does not flow through the split-session BigIPs, with the split-session server profile resetting the connection. If the sys db variable tm.rstcause.log is enabled, the BigIP with the splitsession server profile will have "Failed to find sync data" as the cause logged in /var/log/ltm

Impact

Connections fail for the virtual until the proxy flow between the two BigIPs dies and is reestablished.

Conditions

Two BigIPs are configured where one has a virtual using a splitsession client profile and the other has a virtual that uses the peer splitsession server profile.

Workaround

It is possible to workaround this by disabling SSL for the split-session proxy. For the BigIP with the splitsession client profile, disabling Mode on the splitsession-default-serverssl profile, and for the BigIP with the splitsession server profiledisabling Mode on the splitsession-default-clientssl profile. Note, this would mean the flow metadata would no longer be encrypted between the BigIPs.

Fix Information
