FW crashes when removing a VIP?

[ScottC]

Hi Guys!

I have experienced something a bit odd.  I've had to re-arrange some IP's due to our customers' paranoia issues (long story, don't ask).

To do that, I had to remove a VIP.  I've tried disabling CARP, then removing it.  I've also tried just removing it.  Both times, the FW I'm working on crashes.  DOA/RIP.

Any thoughts on what might be the cause?

Thanks for any input!
Scott

What Version are you running?

I have also noticed that on latest versions 15-03 and 23-03 and sometimes on 27-03.

Sorry about the delay in responding….

I've seen it on the 3-15-2007 snapshot and the 3-27-2007 snapshot.

I think I had it on one other version, but couldn't verify the revision, so I can't trust that report.

It's possible that there were still other items referencing that VIP (eg, vpn endpoint, etc), so that is likely at least a "user headspace" issue  :D

Thanks!
Scott
