If the configuration has an excessively large 'Maximum Header Size' value in the HTTP/1 profile on a virtual server that also has HTTP/2, initialization fails. The tmm log file contains messages similar to the following: notice Proxy initialization failed for /Common/https_virtual1. Defaulting to DENY. The ltm log file contains messages that indicate that the virtual server is not accepting traffic.
-- As a result, the initialization fails. -- Browsing via the virtual server does not work.
-- Large max_header_size (e.g., 4294967295) is configured in HTTP profile. -- The system does not have enough free memory.
To prevent this issue from occurring, if a virtual server has an HTTP/2 profile on it, the max_header_size value inside the HTTP profile should be between 0 and 131072.
