Opened: Jan 30, 2014

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

When the SOD service ignores the removal of the unicast address configuration, it keeps sending failover messages to its peers. Therefore all devices would maintain their current failover states. But the operator expects all devices in stand alone state for lack of the peer to peer of communication.

Impact

The device will stay on the active/standby/standby state even after we delete the Unicast/Multicast configuration.

Conditions

If we delete this Unicast/Multicast configuration, the devices still be active/standby/standby status. But it should be in active/active/active state.

Workaround

Do "bigstart restart sod" after removal of the unicast address.

Fix Information

Unknown.
