Opened: Sep 09, 2016

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

IPv6 virtual servers may not be reachable on specific Virtual Edition (VE) instances, based on the interfaces used by that instance.

Impact

Special configuration procedure is required.

Conditions

VE with IPv6 virtual servers configured. The VE instance must have SR-IOV interfaces, or KVM virtio interfaces backed by macvtap.

Workaround

Follow the defined configuration procedure by explicitly listing the VLANs for which this VIP is enabled. For example, in TMSH: 'modify ltm virtual <name> vlans-enabled' 'modify ltm virtual <name> vlans add { <vlans> }'

Fix Information

None
