IP address change during session

What causes BIG-IP to generate the following message: "The client's IP address changed while the session was in progress."?

    This could happen if they're roaming or logging in from another location (even from a different system), specifically for certain types of persistence (e.g. Universal or SSL). The persistence profile would pick up their session based on information like SSL Session ID, user name, or a persistent cookie.

    I have seen this several times with cookie persistence. One case was for management session, where LTM log reported: May 26 14:03:59 slot1/xxxxxxxxx err httpd[9206]: [error] [client x.x.x.x] AUTHCACHE Error processing cookie 2820043E925........944A550 - Cookie impersonation detected from remote IP x.x.x.x to remote IP y.y.y.y, referer: https://z.z.z.z/xui/modals/en/error.html?1401087541630

     

    This was tracked to be an administrator removing his laptop from docking station while session, thus roaming from fixed to WLAN.

     

  • I actually need an answer as to how to fix this once it becomes a persistent bogus error. We just uninstalled F5 and reinstalled it and I am still getting this error even though my IP address is not changing.
