Symptoms

An unavailable virtual address is advertised in dynamic routing health injection after the BIG-IP system loads the configuration (including after a restart or 'tmsh load sys config' operation).

Impact

Routes appear available on the route table when they are not, which might result in traffic being routed to unavailable servers.

Conditions

The configuration contains a virtual-address with 'enabled' set to 'yes', 'route-advertisement' set to 'enabled', and the 'server-scope' set to 'any'. The BIG-IP system already has the same virtual-address configured with 'server-scope' as 'any'.

Workaround

Modify the virtual-address' 'server-scope' from the current value to another value and then back to the original value.

Fix Information

Virtual address status is updated after load, so no unavailable virtual address is advertised.
