Opened: Dec 17, 2015

Severity: 4-Minor

Symptoms

The system does not prevent configuring a Message Routing peer with connection-mode per-client together with a transport-config with a source port if you are using SNAT, but that configuration does not work. If SNAT is enabled, and routing through a peer configured with a per-client connection-mode and a transport-config with a non zero source_port, only one client may connect to a server at a time. A second client will not be able to connect until the previous outgoing connection times out.

Impact

Only one client may connect to a server at a time - other clients will be unable to connect until the previous outgoing connection times out.

Conditions

Virtual Server configured with the following features: - Message Routing - Peer configured with connection-mode per-client - Transport Configuration with non-zero source port - Source Address Translation

Workaround

Disable one of the conflicting features: - Configure a different connection-mode for the peer - Disable Source Address Translation - Set source-port to 0 on the transport config (allow the BIG-IP to use any source port)

Fix Information

None
