Opened: Jul 12, 2018

Severity: 2-Critical

Symptoms

TMM crashes after changing LSN pool mode from PBA to NAPT when long lived connections are killed due to the PBA block lifetime and zombie timeout expiring.

Impact

Traffic disrupted while tmm restarts.

Conditions

An LSN pool using PBA mode with a block lifetime and zombie timeout set and long lived connections.

Workaround

Instead of changing the LSN pool mode from PBA to NAPT, create a new LSN pool configured for NAPT and change the source-address-translation pool on the virtual servers that use the PBA pool. The PBA pool can be deleted after the virtual servers are no longer using it.

Fix Information

TMM no longer crashes after changing LSN pool mode from PBA to NAPT.
