The Linux host residing on a secondary blade might lose dynamic routes previously learned via a dynamic routing protocol.
Routes on Linux host of secondary blade are lost. This might affect host traffic, such as monitoring, remote logging, etc., due to the lack of routing information.
- Multibladed chassis or vCMP guest. - Routes learned via dynamic routing. - Restart of services or reboot of secondary blade.
Modify the ZebOS maximum-paths setting on the primary blade to trigger a route update to the non-primary blades. Add a custom alert to the user_alert.conf to auto-mitigate this issue whenever a blade joins the cluster. # 11.5.x workaround for user_alert.conf alert BLADE_JOINED_CLUSTER "010719fc:5: Mate cluster member (.*) turned Green." { exec command="/usr/sbin/zebos -a cmd 'enable,conf t,maximum-paths 5,maximum-paths 4,exit,exit'" } Note: The Mate cluster log is not present in 11.6.x, so this an 11.5.x only workaround.
This issue no longer occurs, so there is consistency among blades.
