Symptoms

Certain url connections with 'local-port' option fail sometimes over IPsec tunnels when connection.vlankeyed db variable is disabled with 'curl: (7) couldn't connect to host' error.

Impact

TCP connections do not complete the three way handshake and traffic does not pass.

Conditions

Using curl command with'--local-port' option causes the connections to fail on the BIG-IP system.

Workaround

Disabling 'cmp' option in virtual server secures the traffic over IPsec tunnels.

Fix Information

Using curl command with'--local-port' option no longer causes the connections to fail on the BIG-IP system.
