Description

On MX304 device and LC9600 line card, upon Routing Engine switchover chassisd on new master was not re-initializing the tunnel/inline services configuration data, hence all static tunnel interface (GRE, IP-IP, Multicast (MT), PIM, Logical tunnels and Virtual loopback tunneling (VT)) and inline interfaces will get bounced (deleted and re-created) after doing any CLI commit after an RE switchover. There will be momentary impact on traffic using these interfaces.

 

Symptoms

MX10008 gr- or lt- etc interfaces would flap after RE switchover and commit
