After performing an upgrade from a version lower than 16.0 to a version higher or equal to 16.0, BIG-IP will fail to establish LACP trunk when interfaces are configured in virtual-wire mode. Version 16.0 introduced transparent LACP bridging of LACP allowing LAG to be established across BIG-IP. This feature is enabled by default in versions > 16.0.
Fail to establish LACP trunk.
- Trunk configured with LACP. - Virtual-wire configured across the trunk. - Upgrading from version lower than 16.0 to a version higher or equal to 16.0.
Setting l2.virtualwire.multicast.bridging to disabled allows BIG-IP to establish LACP directly with other devices without bridging maintaining the behavior from versions < 16.
