Opened: Dec 14, 2015

Severity: 2-Critical

Symptoms

TMM generates core.

Impact

Traffic disrupted while tmm restarts.

Conditions

All three following conditions have to be met for this to trigger : 1) Both IPv4 and IPv6 network access connection has to be enabled for the same network access resource. 2) IPv4 address have to be statically assigned. 3) IPv6 address have to be dynamically assigned from the leasepool.

Workaround

Workaround 1) Use IPv4 only network access connection. Workaround 2) While using both IPv4 and IPv6 network access connection, assign both IPv4 and IPv6 endpoint addresses from IPv4 and IPv6 leasepool respectively. Workaround 3) While using both IPv4 and IPv6 network access connection, assign both IPv4 and IPv6 endpoint statically.

Fix Information

TMM no longer cores in renew lease timer handler
