Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

A trunk configured between a BIG-IP i4x00/i2x00 platform and an upstream switch may go down due to the presence of the VLAN tag.

Impact

Trunks are brought down by upstream switch.

Conditions

LACP configured between a BIG-IP i4x00/i2x00 platform and an upstream switch.

Workaround

There are two workarounds: -- Configure the trunk as 'untagged' in one of the VLANs in which it's configured. -- Disable LACP.

Fix Information

The system no longer transmits a VLAN tag for LACP PDUs, so this issue no longer occurs.
