CirrusWEBSERVICES becomes inaccessible when failover
EmployeeThere is a lot to unpack here - does the use of ASM make a difference? Do you have MAC masquerading configured? Are the ARP tables being updated after GARP? Do pools go down? Do you see client-side traffic hitting the newly active BIG-IP?
CirrusHi Pete, during some incidents removing the ASM resolves the issue. So for example, we failover and experience the slowness where web pages does not load, we remove the ASM policy and then web immediately load. However for some instances this does not help for other websites. The ARP tables yes it becomes update pointing to the new active self-ip. The pools never went down and we see clients hitting the new big-ip.
On recent tshooting we did, as per the F5 support, client traffic hits all the way to the real server. However, the return traffic between the F5 and the firewall keeps on bouncing. F5 keeps on sending but no reply from the firewall. On the firewall end we get a reply that there is no issue with the firewall.
