Symptoms

tmrouted does not re-announce RHI routes in a specific transition of failover states within a HA pair using dynamic routing and HA pair.

Impact

Tmrouted may not announce the Virtual addresses when coming back to Active state after the mention succession.

Conditions

- Active/Standby HA pair set up - Both units configured with a dynamic routing protocol and Route Health Injection enabled on one or more Virtual-Addresses. - Active unit has the following succession of failover states: Active->Offline->Online->Standby->Active

Workaround

A failover to Standby and back to Active works around the issue. Restarting tmrouted is also an alternative option.

Fix Information

tmrouted now re-announces RHI routes in a specific transition of failover states within a HA pair using dynamic routing and HA pair.
