Miscellaneous Received Reset meaning

Hello,

 

can you please explain what is the meaning of the "Miscellaneous Received Reset" stats? How can we track this kind of RST, i.e. who sends, what is the cause? If we use the following TCPDUMP, will that get the required info: tcpdump ‘tcp[tcpflags] & (tcp-rst) != 0’

 

What if we enable the logging of such RST on LTM? will that degrade the performance (sol13223)?

 

thank you.

    You can use the RST logging to findout the reason. Changing the log database variable has the potential to cause higher system resource consumption and a possible system performance degradation.

     

    F5 recommends that to enable these database variables for troubleshooting purposes only and disable the respective database variables after you have completed any troubleshooting steps.
