Symptoms

Impact

System is unusable due to continuous TMM restarts.

Conditions

Traffic actively flowing through the TMM and you issue 'bigstart restart' or 'bigstart restart tmm'.

Workaround

Ensure all traffic is stopped before issuing the 'bigstart restart' or 'bigstart restart tmm' commands.

Fix Information

TMM restart loop no longer occurs following 'bigstart restart' on i2x00 and i4x00 platforms
