Symptoms

FDB flushing on VLAN deletes is performed by VLAN member interface reference only, without regard to VLAN tags. This can result in unrelated VLAN FDB entries also being flushed on shared VLAN member interfaces.

Impact

FDB entries for unrelated VLANs will be flushed if they share the same tagged VLAN member interfaces as the VLAN being deleted.

Conditions

Issuing a VLAN delete with other VLANs using shared tagged member interfaces with the VLAN being deleted.

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

Correct FDB flushing on VLAN deletes, by limiting the scope to be VLAN specific.
