Symptoms

In a specific combination of events TMM may core.

Impact

Traffic disrupted while tmm restarts.

Conditions

This occurs when the following conditions are met: - Load balancing a flow to an ip_tuple (e.g., the Tcl 'node' command). - That address is not directly connected. - The matched route is a gateway pool that contains a pool member that is not reachable.

Workaround

Ensure correct routing to all destinations with reachable next hops.

Fix Information

TMM no longer cores when load balancing to a node's IP address in iRule, routed towards an unreachable nexthop.
