Opened: Jun 28, 2017

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

When using a BIG-IP system configured in an IS-IS network; adjacencies may fail to form with other vendor devices.

Impact

IS-IS adjacencies may not form.

Conditions

- BIG-IP configured to participate as a peer in a IS-IS network. - IS-IS peers perform strict validation on the length of the Restart TLV. -- The SystemID used by the BIG-IP system is of length 7 instead of 6. (ZebOS uses a 7-Byte SystemID.)

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

The BIG-IP system now uses a correct SystemID length in the Restart TLV.
