New Virtual Servers are sending RESETS to all the traffic

Hello Everyone! On our F5 cluster, if we create any new VS, it is just Reseting all the traffic. Configuration of one of the VS is as

 

ltm virtual VPN { description VPN_VS destination 10.194.1.155:https fallback-persistence ABC_desti ip-protocol tcp mask 255.255.255.255 persist { ABC_source { default yes } } pool XYZ profiles { clientssl { context clientside } tcp { } } source 0.0.0.0/0 source-address-translation { type automap } vs-index 21 }

 

(tmos) list ltm pool XYZ ltm pool XYZ { description "ABC Production" members { AEABUABCAPP01.FGHDJ.COM:hosts2-ns { address 10.194.1.176 session monitor-enabled state up } aeabuABCapp02.FGHDJ.com:hosts2-ns { address 10.194.1.177 session monitor-enabled state up } } monitor http

After enabling RESET logging following logs were taken

  • Resets are being send because of Policy action

    According to your logs you are hitting the Virtual Server address on port 80 not 443:

    Your TCP dump is showing you are hitting port 443 but could be for a different reason. Test again and post the logs when you are hitting HTTPS and check the reason code here: K13223: Configuring the BIG-IP system to log TCP RST packets
