Symptoms

When peering with ISIS to Cisco IOS XR routers, messages similar to the following may be seen isis[1003]: %ROUTING-ISIS-5-AUTH_FAILURE_DROP : Dropped L2 LSP from TenGigE0/0/0/1 SNPA 0001.47fd.a801 due to authentication TLV not found.

Impact

This is a cosmetic issue. Routing is not impacted. LSPs containing actual routing information do contain the Auth TLV, as expected.

Conditions

The BIG-IP system is configured for dynamic routing using the ISIS protocol, and is peered with an IOS XR router, or with another BIG-IP system running software older than than version 11.6.1. In addition, authentication needs to be configured, and a value needs to be set for lsp-refresh-interval, or for max-lsp-lifetime. For example: router isis isisrouter is-type level-2-only authentication mode md5 authentication key-chain keychain-isis lsp-refresh-interval 5 max-lsp-lifetime 65535 net 49.8002.00c1.0000.0000.f523.00

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

This issue no longer occurs.
