Last Modified: Sep 13, 2023

Affected Product(s):
BIG-IP TMOS(all modules)

Symptoms

On BIG-IP systems with the multiple blades, or a BIG-IP system with multiple bigd processes running (bigd.1, bigd.2, etc.), if the system has FQDN nodes configured, all secondary bigd processes will consume an unusually high amount of memory, and bigd cores may exist.

Impact

bigd memory leak; possible bigd crash.

Conditions

FQDN nodes configured on a system, and the system (as a whole) has multiple bigd processes running, either across multiple blades or multiple bigd instances on a single blade. As configuration changes are made to FQDN nodes, bigd on the non-primary places memory consumption may be unusually high.

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

None
