Last Modified: May 29, 2024

Severity: 1-Blocking

Symptoms

TMM cores.

Impact

TMM cores and the system cannot process traffic. Traffic disrupted while tmm restarts.

Conditions

FastL4's hardware offloading is used. Because the error is an internal software logic implementation, there is no direct specific configuration that triggers this error condition. A quick traffic spike during a short period of time makes it more likely to occur.

Workaround

Disable PVA/EPVA on all FastL4 profiles

Fix Information

Fix the internal logic error.
