 R60-HFA4: lost ospf and static routes after changing interface speed
Hello
Last weekend we had a strange issue. We had upgraded our firewalls to R60 HFA-4 and then proceeded to change the speed of the interfaces to auto. We did this by going to the standby node of the cluster (all SPLAT machines running clusterXL and ospf) and using "eth_set ethX autoneg" and then changing it on the cisco switches.
All went well until we changed the interface connecting the firewalls to the backbone on which they talk ospf to each other and the routers (not my design). When I did this I lost connectivity to the firewall from the management station. When I regained access via the active node of the cluster it turned out that all ospf routes were gone. But stranger still: even the static route which I had added towards the management station as a backup in case the ospf failed was gone. It was still there in /etc/sysconfig/netconf.C but not listed anymore in 'netstat -rn', nor did routing work. In the end we had to reboot the firewall to regain the routing.
This is not improving our confidence in using ospf on the SPLAT's. Did anymore have similar issues?  |
