Symptoms

Setting the SIP persistence key's timeout using SIP::persist <new_key> <new_timeout> disables bidirectional persistence.

Impact

Disables bidirectional persistence. Persistence entry only records destination (not source) of the session.

Conditions

Setting the SIP persistence key's timeout using SIP::persist <new_key> <new_timeout>.

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

New keyword, SIP::persist timeout <new_timeout> allows changing the timeout without changing the key.

Behavior Change

There is a new keyword, SIP::persist timeout <new_timeout> allows changing the timeout without changing the key. Previously, if you changed the timeout, it disabled bidirectional persistence.
