Gateway address unreachable after change; Prevent the loading of configuration after the change; possible reboot failure after the change.
Changing the Self IP netmask to a bigger value (smaller network), while there are existing static route gateway entries in the original network.
Create another Self IP with netmask covering the gateway address or remove the gateway address.
Validation will no longer allow changes to Self IP netmask that invalidates an existing static route gateway address.
Will no longer allow selfip netmask changes that invalidate a static route gateway address, to occur.
