Symptoms
On the VELOS platform, any packets destined to a masquerade MAC address are dropped when the masquerade MAC is located on a shared VLAN (a VLAN shared between multiple F5OS tenants).
On rSeries hardware platforms, all traffic for this MAC is first handled by the software-rebroadcaster and is replicated to all tenants sharing that VLAN.
Impact
Connectivity issues.
Conditions
-- A masquerade MAC is configured on a shared VLAN.
-- Traffic to the MAC address is initiated, that is, ping a floating self-IP.
-- The packets are dropped on ingress.
Workaround
Configure a static FDB entry at the partition level.
Fix Information
Packets are no longer dropped when a masquerade MAC is on a shared VLAN.
