Oct 2 05:37:16 slot1/tmm7 crit tmm7[21734]: 01010201:2: Inet port exhaustion on 10.143.109.5 to 10.143.147.150:53 (proto 17)

Oct 2 05:57:32 slot1/tmm2 crit tmm2[21729]: 01010201:2: Inet port exhaustion on 10.143.109.5 to 10.143.147.150:53 (proto 17)

Oct 2 06:30:03 slot1/tmm7 crit tmm7[21734]: 01010201:2: Inet port exhaustion on 10.143.109.5 to 10.143.147.150:53 (proto 17)

Oct 2 06:37:44 slot1/tmm2 crit tmm2[21729]: 01010201:2: Inet port exhaustion on 10.143.109.5 to 10.143.147.150:53 (proto 17)

Oct 2 06:47:05 slot1/tmm5 crit tmm5[21732]: 01010201:2: Inet port exhaustion on 10.143.109.5 to 10.143.147.150:53 (proto 17)

Which configuration item should the LTM Specialist review to fix the issue?

    Correct Answer: A

    The issue described in the logs is 'Inet port exhaustion.' This typically occurs when there are not enough available ports to establish new connections due to too many concurrent connections using the same source IP address. An SNAT (Secure Network Address Translation) Pool allows a set of addresses to be used as the source address for the connections, hence spreading the load and preventing port exhaustion. Therefore, the LTM Specialist should review the SNAT Pool configuration.
