Clueless about these issues

Hi Fellows

 

 

I am trying to resolve an existing issue on a F5 BIGIP 8800 running v9.4.

 

 

1)The LTM is rejecting com on several (~9) applications, logging the following message:

 

 

*Packet rejected remote IP x.y.z.w port 80 local IP x.y.z.v port 3947 proto TCP: Port closed.

 

 

*The users complain about being solicited to re-authenticate several times during the day.

 

 

What can be done in the config to resolve this?

 

 

2)The system log generates the following error regularly

 

 

*bogus logical sector size 65535

 

*VFS Cant find a valid FAT filesystem on dev 08:15.

 

 

Linux/Hardware related, anyone solved it?

 

 

3)Is there a way to let HSRP traffic thru,

 

*the traffic log is jamed with packet rejected on port 1985.

 

How can HSRP traffic be let through without beeing processed by LTM?

 

 

For this one I kind of figured it out (ICMP_gateway_failsafe), but the guy in charge of the environment needs a confirmation from a bonafide source like you guys.

 

 

any pointers would help
