Symptoms

Attempts to create an IPv6 virtual server using Traffic Matching Criteria (TMC) with a configured port list fail if one or more IPv6 wildcard (::) virtual servers already exist on the system. The operation fails with the following error: 0107176c:3: Invalid Virtual Address, the IP address :: already exists.

Impact

The system is unable to create IPv6 virtual servers that use Traffic Matching Criteria (TMC) with a port list when other IPv6 wildcard (::) listeners already exist.

Conditions

One or more IPv6 wildcard (::) virtual servers already exist on the system.

Workaround

Step 1: Delete the existing TMC if it was already created: tmsh delete ltm traffic-matching-criteria tmc-udp-traceroute-v6 Step 2: Create the IPv6 address list for source matching: tmsh create net address-list ipv6_any { addresses add { ::/0 } } Step 3: Recreate the TMC using destination-address-inline in place of destination-address-list: tmsh create ltm traffic-matching-criteria tmc-udp-traceroute-v6 { destination-address-inline :: destination-port-list UDP-TRACEROUTE-v6 source-address-list ipv6_any protocol udp } Step 4: Create the virtual server referencing the updated TMC: tmsh create ltm virtual vwire-udp-traceroute-bypass-v6 { ip-forward ip-protocol udp profiles add { fastL4 } traffic-matching-criteria tmc-udp-traceroute-v6 vlans-enabled vlans add { VLAN452 VLAN462 vlan-4094-10 vlan-4094-9 vlan-4096-10 vlan-4096-9 } } Step 5: Save the configuration: tmsh save sys config
