ARP replies reach the front panel port of the B4450 blade, but fail to reach TMMs. This is caused by a L2 issue in the Broadcom Trident2+ switch B4450 blade uses.
The traffic hitting the corrupted L2 FDB entry will be dropped by the switch.
The switch learned a corrupted L2 FDB entry on an internal HiGig trunk.
Identify the affected VLAN and flush L2 FDB entries on that VLAN using the following command: tmsh delete net fdb vlan {vlan_name}.
Resolved an issue on Broadcom Trident2+ switch B4450 blades use in which ARP replies reached the front panel port, but failed to reach TMMs.
A new BigDB variable is added to control in which mode the l2xmsg module in Broadcom SDK should run. bcm56xxd.l2xmsg.mode: poll/fifo (default) The BIG-IP system used to always run l2xmsg module in poll mode. Now, the BIG-IP system runs l2xmsg mode in fifo by default.
