You may observe GTM Monitors failing with a message of ‘state: timeout’ within the logs messages. On further investigation you find that though the GTM is trying to build the connection (i.e sending the SYN), there is no response (SYN-ACK) from the destination. Resulting in the probe attempt failing.<\/p>\n
The reason for this is due to the GTM sending the connection request to a server that already has an established socket open from the GTM for the given source port.<\/p>\n
Consider the following setup,<\/p>\n
Now lets consider the following scenario,<\/p>\n
Though there is an option within tmos to disable socket reuse this only effects the bigd daemon rather than the big3d that is used (along with gtmd) for healthcheck monitoring on the GTM.<\/p>\n
modify sys db bigd.reusesocket value disable save \/sys config<\/pre>\nTo resolve this issue you will need to rewrite the source IP and source port before it is sent to the backend server. To achieve this there are 2 options,<\/p>\n

- Proxy<\/strong> – Configure the virtual server on the Loadbalancer to act as a proxy. <\/span><\/li>\n
- SNAT – <\/strong>SNAT the traffic going from the virtual server to the backend servers.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
