Opened: Apr 12, 2019

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

Traffic from client to server fails destination mapping and is getting dropped with port exhaustion logs: -- crit tmm5[21240]: 01010201:2: Inet port exhaustion on 2a0a:1e01:101:112::11 to 2002:ab0:2002:1:250:56ff:febd:9f0.128 (proto 58)

Impact

Traffic from client to server fails destination mapping.

Conditions

Configuring 6to4 tunnel remote-address to 'any'.
