Data Redistribution: If a PAN has it's self defined as an Agent - will it redistribute to it' self?

Hello Live Community,

We want to create a template "base_config" which will program all PANs with the same User-ID, Group Mapping, configurations.
Part of that would be defining the all PAN's Serial numbers as Data Redistribution agents.

So my question is this:
If PAN Serial 1234567890 has a Data Redistribution Agent for Serial 1234567890 on port 5007... would the PAN redistribute to it's self, would the user-id table be stuck in a loop, would the PAN-OS crash????

@Fusco,

Can't say I've ever tried, but I actually wonder if that would even commit successfully and pass a validation check. I'd probably test this on some lab equipment or temporarily VMs before I would try using this configuration in a production setting.
