Impact

Conditions

Using tmsh, create a Trunk, create a VLAN on the trunk, create a route-domain, then create a self IP address.

Workaround

Add a short delay after modifying/creating the route domain before creating the self IP address. Note: Self IP address should be created after route-domain creation.
