Opened: Jun 25, 2018

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

Licensing fails with the following error in /var/log/ltm: Curl request to metadata service failed with error(45): 'Failed binding local connection end'

Impact

The BIG-IP system fails to activate and cannot pass traffic.

Conditions

-- BIG-IP Virtual Edition (VE) has provision.1nic enabled. -- The default 'internal' VLAN for the dataplane has been given a different name.

Workaround

Use 'internal' as the name for the 1nic dataplane VLAN interface.

Fix Information

Licensing no longer fails in 1nic BIG-IP VE instances when the 1nic dataplane VLAN name is changed to a custom value from its default name 'internal'.
