Affected Product(s):
BIG-IP All
Known Affected Versions:
13.0.0
Fixed In:
13.1.0, 13.0.0 HF1
Opened: Dec 28, 2016 Severity: 1-Blocking
After a bigstart restart, traffic no longer flows because interface ordering can change.
The VLANs will be assigned to the wrong interfaces, network traffic is blocked.
A Virtual Edition configuration with more than one XL710 SR-IOV interface.
If VLANs do not exist or the config is not saved before bigstart restart, there is nothing to be done except assigning the right VLAN to the desired interface (1.X) after restart. The MAC address of interfaces can be used to identify the desired interface. If a config with VLANs is saved before bigstart restart, run the following command: -- bigstart stop (this brings the data plane ethX devices down) -- f5-swap-eth -s (this reassigns the interfaces) -- bigstart start (this restarts the system). Or you can reboot the guest.
