Opened: Jun 22, 2016 Severity: 3-Major
-- Racoon daemon runs at 100% according to top and will not start or handle any IPsec tunnels. -- No logs, no ISAKMP initiation. -- Racoonctl will hang when executed.
IPsec tunnels cannot not be established or maintained.
-- IKEv1 -- racoon daemon caught in a busy loop Note: IKEv2 is not affected by this problem.
bigstart restart racoon. bigstart restart tmispecd. You cannot use bigstart to restart racoon on BIG-IP version 12 software.
Additional loop detection has been added to the racoon process, which will cause racoond to restart. A crit level log may be written along with a racoon corefile. tmipsecd will restart racoon and the problem will be resolved. Any racoon corefile along with a qkview should be presented to F5 Support for analysis.
