Affected Product(s):
BIG-IP AFM
Fixed In:
17.1.3
Opened: Nov 12, 2024 Severity: 3-Major
Long hours of CPU spike of ipsd and mcpd were observed after a sudden reboot of BIG-IP Virtual Edition. Protocol inspection stats from "tmctl protocol_inspection_stats" are not recorded for up to 5 hours after rebooting.
Ipsd and mcp high cpu utilization after reboot. This can last for several hours. During this time, protocol inspection is not ready.
The ips profile loaded with a significant number of profiles and includes HTTP and OTHER services for all.
Reduce the duplicated IPS Profiles
After the fix, IPS Profiles will take less time to reach the ready state, even if the tmm or mcpd is restarted.
