Bug ID 1298653: In an Active/Standby configuration, if the virtual server destination is modified to that of an existing self IP, it leaves the standby with the old virtual server IP

Last Modified: May 29, 2024

Affected Product(s):

Opened: May 18, 2023

Severity: 4-Minor

Symptoms

Virtual server destination IP will not be in sync in an Active standby setup.

Impact

If there is a failover, connections will fail.

Conditions

Virtual server should be first created using the floating IP, so it will be synced between active and standby. On the active, now modify the destination IP with the self IP of active. The configuration change will be accepted but the changes will not be synced.

Workaround

Ensure virtual server destination IP is not the same as self IP.
