Severity: 3-Major
The N3FIPS module does not respond to key management requests.
Existing data continues to forward, but new traffic keys fail. MGMT locks up. This is a rarely encountered issue.
No specific condition has been identified for this failure.
A SNMP trap is generated when N3FIPS is locked up. The trap informs the user that the BIG-IP system must be rebooted. Rebooting clears the condition.
The N3FIPS module no longer experiences occasional lockups when processing key management requests.
