Resolved Issues in NEN 2.6.1
Timeout issue prevented NEN from updating SLB Policy (E-107324)
Due to the shortness of the default connect timeout in the CURL library (5 minutes), the NEN was susceptible to timing out when trying to connect to the PCE. This in turn prevented the NEN from updating policy on the SLB. The issue was resolved by adding the following configurable PCE runtime_env parameter:
pce_policy_connect_timeout_minutes
Default value: 10 minutes
Minimum value: 3 minutes
Handling of SLB empty data response led to erroneous "deletion pending" state (E-106930)
An issue caused an F5 SLB to return an empty data response when the NEN queried it for virtual servers, even though managed virtual servers actually existed on the SLB. This occurred at a time when the NEN was programming the SLB. This in turn caused the PCE to put these existing virtual servers in a 'deletion pending' state. After the NEN was restarted, all the virtual servers were discovered and available on the PCE Web Console. This issue is resolved. The NEN will now ignore empty data responses if the SLB has managed virtual servers or is currently being programmed with policy.
Route domain length prevented virtual server discovery (E-106800)
F5 SLB virtual servers with route domains longer than two digits weren't discovered by the NEN and consequently weren't displayed on the PCE Web Console. This issue is resolved. The NEN now recognizes route domains up to five digits in length.
