    Hello Fallout.

    It's difficult to diagnose this behavior without context, but big3d is related with DNS and iQuery communication.

    REF - https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K13703

    First, check if you have the DNS module enabled and if there is an iQuery tunnel established with another peer that could be failing (maybe certs or something else).

    If the issue persists, you could try to reinstall the big3d daemon from another device.

    big3d_install -use_ssh <target IP>

    Regards,

    Dario.
