Root cause can be one of the following scenarios:
Senario 1:
PEP kernel tables are not aligned - mismatch between pep_client_db and pep_src_mapping_db
Can be checked with the following command:
#fw tab -t pep_client_db -t pep_src_mapping_db -s
For example an output which demonstrate the issue:
localhost pep_client_db 279 50 200 0
localhost pep_src_mapping_db 282 100 200 0
Scenario 2:
PEP kernel tables are not aligned - mismatch between pep_client_db or pep_src_mapping_db on different instances in comparison to instance '0'
To verify if pep_client_db values and pep_src_mapping_db values are different in at least one of the Kernel instances with the following command:
Expert#fw ctl multik stat | awk '{print $1}' | grep -v "-" | grep -v ID | awk '{print "fw -i " $0 " tab -t pep_client_db -t pep_src_mapping_db -s"}' | sh
output should look like this:
HOST NAME ID #VALS #PEAK #SLINKS
localhost pep_client_db 279 500 603 0
localhost pep_src_mapping_db 282 500 603 0
HOST NAME ID #VALS #PEAK #SLINKS
localhost pep_client_db 279 600 705 0
localhost pep_src_mapping_db 282 600 705 0
HOST NAME ID #VALS #PEAK #SLINKS
localhost pep_client_db 279 600 705 0
localhost pep_src_mapping_db 282 600 705 0
