Symptoms

When there is more than one self IP address, some of these self IPs might not have a listener bound to one or more of the default ports.

Impact

Packets are dropped, and on those self IPs, that port is not accepting packets. In above example, SSH does not work to one of the self IPs.

Conditions

More than one self IP needs to be configured. One of these self IP adresses have a 'allow-service' defined as 'default' and also explicitly specify one of the default ports, like specifying 'tcp:https'.

Workaround

Identify the self IP configuration that has both default and also explicitly specifies a default port. Remove the lines that explicitly specify the default port.

Fix Information

When more than one self IP is configured, those self IPs now correctly listen on default ports.
