Bug ID 445924: OSPF (v2 and v3) graceful restart not working on chassis-based systems

Last Modified: Sep 13, 2023

Affected Product(s):
BIG-IP LTM(all modules)

Known Affected Versions:
11.6.2 HF1, 11.3.0, 11.4.0, 11.4.1

Fixed In:
11.6.0, 11.5.1 HF5, 11.4.1 HF6, 11.3.0 HF9

Opened: Jan 23, 2014

Severity: 2-Critical

Symptoms

Secondary blades are not receiving OSPF multicast packets. Consequently, when failing over from one blade to another on a chassis-based system, the new primary blade does not send out an OSPF grace-LSA packet.

Impact

OSPF does not failover properly.

Conditions

Occurs when the primary blade fails over on chassis-based systems configured for OSPF.

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

IP multicast packets can now be delivered to all blades so that OSPF failover can occur.
