Caveats

Open Caveats in Release 2.1(4)

This section describes known limitations that exist in CSM software release 2.1(4).

• CSCdu82478

In the CSM software release 2.x, it is important that packets transmitted from the CSM toward a

client (server) are transmitted on the same VLAN as packets received by the CSM from that same

client (server). This constraint may be satisfied as follows:

–

Multiple routes on the CSM to the same destination are supported, but all such routes need to

go through gateways on the same VLAN. Ensure that all routes to any particular destination go

through the same VLAN. For example, the following configuration is invalid because it is

possible for traffic from a remote source to arrive on both VLAN 10 and VLAN 20:

Router(config)# module csm 4

Router(config-module-csm)# vlan 10 client

Router(config-slb-vlan-client)# gateway 1.1.1.1

Router(config-module-csm)# vlan 20 client

Router(config-slb-vlan-client)# gateway 2.2.2.2

To make this configuration valid, delete the gateway command from either VLAN 10 or VLAN

20.

Note NOTE: Do not use the gateway command in more than one VLAN.

–

Traffic into the CSM from an IP address must arrive on the same VLAN that the CSM uses to

send traffic to that IP address. Ensure that all traffic received by the CSM from a specific

destination address arrives on the same VLAN that the CSM uses to reach that destination if the

CSM is configured with a route as follows:

Router(config)# module csm 4

Router(config-module-csm)# vlan 10 client

Router(config-slb-vlan-client)# route 10.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 gateway 1.1.1.1

For load balancing to function properly, all traffic arriving from the 10.0.0.0/24 subnet must

reach the CSM through VLAN 10.

• CSCdv00464

Issuing the clear interface gigabit slot/port command for a CSM gigabit port may not clear the

counters.

Workaround: None.

• CSCdv11685

Do not configure different fault-tolerant pairs to use the same FT VLAN.

Workaround: Use a different FT VLAN for each fault-tolerant CSM pair.

• CSCdv29125

In firewall configurations using an HTTP 1.1 redirect virtual server, a connection going through the

firewalls may remain open after a redirect virtual server connection is established.

Workaround: None. This connection closes when it times out.
