Description

You may see the following error message in VXLAN environment. 

Oct  7 16:31:51.137 2022  d16-25 : %PFE-3: fpc0 Failed to get ifl for ifl index = 640

 

Symptoms

This can happen when the device receives DHCP packet via a remote vtep and L3 interface (IRB) is not assiged on the egress interface.
Even though there is no DHCP configuration, the packet injection happens and it fails to get IFL index as there is no IRB interface on the egress interface.

This issue might be seen if the following conditions are met:
* On QFX 5K series platform and EX4600 series.
*  In VXLAN environment
* Receiving DHCP packet via remote vtep
* No IRB interface on the egress interface.
