5250's failing to pass traffic after AV software update

L1 Bithead

 

Hi,

 

We are on the version 8.1.2 and If I upgrade to the latest ‘Applications and Threats’ version,  currently 8044-4859, and then upgrade AV from 2678-3175 to 2683-3180 all rules fail, and traffic drops through the default deny.

 

I do not see any particular logs except "HA peer Anti-Virus set to Unknown".

Any ideas?

Thanks.

@Bomi,

So this has more possibility of being due to the Applications and Threats version then the AV upgrade. When the traffic was failing how was the traffic getting recognized, and did that traffic actually have any rules allowing it to go as the firewall was identifying it? 

 

@BPry The same thing happend when only AV was updated. Applications were showing up as ‘not-applicable’ for services that should have been matched with our rules, but were dropping to the default deny rule.

@Bomi,

Personally I would contact TAC at this point. It sounds like the update is somehow negating your entire <security/> rulebase, either by making the XML malformed or something like that. I've seen this through OS updates, but never through dynamic updates.
