11.5.4 HF2 / HA-Fair seems to try login or peering with each internal self ip

In /var/log/audit fololw logs are occuring per 16 second constantly.

Sep 1 14:30:56 HDS-DR-L4-1 info httpd(pam_audit)[11622]: 01070417:6: AUDIT - user admin - RAW: httpd(pam_audit): User=admin tty=(unknown) host=172.16.229.12 failed to login after 1 attempts (start="Thu Sep 1 14:30:54 2016" end="Thu Sep 1 14:30:56 2016").

and in /var/log/secure follow logs are occuring to

Sep 1 14:41:37 HDS-DR-L4-1 notice httpd[6110]: pam_unix(httpd:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=48 euid=48 tty= ruser= rhost=172.16.229.12 user=admin Sep 1 14:41:40 HDS-DR-L4-1 err httpd[6110]: [error] [client 172.16.229.12] AUTHCACHE PAM: user 'admin' - not authenticated: Authentication failure Sep 1 14:41:40 HDS-DR-L4-1 info httpd(pam_audit)[6110]: User=admin tty=(unknown) host=172.16.229.12 failed to login after 1 attempts (start="Thu Sep 1 14:41:37 2016" end="Thu Sep 1 14:41:40 2016").

these kind of logs are viewed each HA-Fairs.

}

net self /Common/172.16.229.11 { address 172.16.229.11/24 allow-service { default } traffic-group /Common/traffic-group-local-only vlan /Common/int }

There HA is 2.2.2.1 and 2.2.2.2 --> using to config HA-fair and complete 172.16.229.11 and 172.16.229.12 --> there internal self ip

I can`t understandy why these logs are generated.

I capture packets

  • This almost seems like a https health check, do you have a pool with your self-IP as a member?
