Opened: Jun 18, 2018

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

The BIG-IP system fails to create a connection after 3WHS when using loose-init and hash persistence. This can happen if traffic is redirected from one BIG-IP system to another, with the second BIG-IP system failing to create the connection, causing an interruption of traffic on that connection.

Impact

Traffic fails when redirected from one BIG-IP system to another.

Conditions

-- Virtual server configured with hash persistence. -- FastL4 profile with loose-init enabled.

Workaround

There is no workaround other than to disable hash persistence.

Fix Information

A FastL4 connection no longer fails with loose-init and hash persistence enabled.
