Symptoms

To enable maximum performance, LTM Policies undergo a compilation process, where they are transformed to a compact binary representation. An issue was discovered where the transformation is being done incorrectly under certain circumstances.

Impact

The tmm process may experience an unexpected restart, or a policy action may not run as expected.

Conditions

While not common, certain LTM Policy combinations will be transformed to binary representation where certain internal parameters are incorrect.

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

LTM Policies are correctly transformed to their high-performance, compact binary representations.
