Opened: Apr 22, 2015

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

If you want to change timeout values for server-side initiated flows inside Network Access tunnels, ephemeral listeners ignore irules. There seems to be a workaround for this through tmsh (not ui) by attaching iRules (related-rules) to main virtual that gets run on ephemeral listeners. (These ephemeral listeners are created by Network Access tunnels for lease-pool IPs.) The command for this is (for example): tmsh modify ltm virtual vs_dtls related-rules { idle_time } The problem here was APM Network Access used to ignore the related-rules on main virtual and the rules weren't triggered.

Impact

Related rules on main virtual are not applied to ephmeral listeners; (these ephemeral listeners are created by Network Access tunnels for lease-pool IPs).

Conditions

APM Network access use case.

Workaround

none.

Fix Information

iRules get executed on Ephemeral listeners.
