Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

tmm may use a combination of the traffic-group MAC address and the per-VLAN MAC address for traffic associated with the traffic-group.

Impact

Incorrect MAC address used for traffic associated with the traffic-group.

Conditions

All of the following: -- The traffic-group has a MAC address set. -- The sys db variable 'tm.macmasqaddr_per_vlan' is set to true. -- There are multiple tmm processes running on the BIG-IP system. Note: BIG-IP Virtual Edition is not affected since there is only one tmm process.

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

tmm uses the proper MAC address when there is a traffic-group mac address defined and 'tm.macmasqaddr_per_vlan' is set to true.
