inet port exhaustion - urgent help needed

We are not using SNAT for the concerned VIP's. The logged message shows connection directly to the pool member. I am still trying to understand whether it was sending traffic to the VIP or the pool member. Below is the config. The iRule basically allows the servers behind LTM to talk to other VIP's on the same LTM. The inbound_11_route VS allows connection directly to the pool members.

 

 

virtual ns-phx.bmc.com {

 

pool ns-phx.bmc.com

 

destination 172.24.4.252:domain

 

ip protocol udp

 

vlans PRDSRV200

 

PRDVIP100 enable

 

rules ns-phx-snat-iRule1

 

persist source_addr

 

}

 

 

virtual Inbound_11_Route {

 

ip forward

 

destination 172.24.8.0:any

 

mask 255.255.252.0

 

vlans PRDVIP100 enable

 

profiles fastl4_90mins_timeout

 

}

 

 

rule ns-phx-snat-iRule1 {

 

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {

 

if { [matchclass [IP::client_addr] equals $::all_server_nodes]} {

 

snat automap

 

}

 

}

 

}
