Good day F5 Experts
According to Cisco F5 does not close connections to the Cisco FirePower Firewall.
They say that the BigIP does not always send RST packets to close the connection, thus the firewall sits with 60000 connections and the BigIP with 20000, so there are 40000 stale connections on the firewall.
The F5 BigIP is sanwidged between the External Zone and Internal Zone of the Cisco FirePower.
The BigIP is running on 13.1.1.4 Build 0.116.4.
Did you ever experience something like this and is there a solution for it?
Kind Regards
Gabriel
