Last Modified: Sep 13, 2023

Fixed In:

Opened: Jan 03, 2018

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

An iRule that uses RESOLV::lookup can hang repeatedly when cmp-hash configuration is changed.

Impact

The iRule call can hang repeatedly.

Conditions

-- iRule is in the middle of a call to RESOLV::lookup. -- A change is made to VLAN cmp-hash configuration.

Workaround

Restart the TMM. This will interrupt client traffic while TMM restarts.

Fix Information

The iRule connection is reestablished when the pending query expires, so subsequent RESOLV::lookup calls do not hang per TMM.
