PA send out '192.168.1.1' GARP when it boot up.

Hello Guys,

When PA boot up , it send out 192.168.1.1 GARP through the MGMT port no matter what you set the MGMT IP.

And after 30 second later, it send out its MGMT ip address you set with GARP.

I know that '192.168.1.1' is the factory default setting for the PA.

But I think this mechanism can spoil the customers network if they use 192.168.1.1 for the gateway address.

An there any one who experienced this issue?

Thanks.

Great finding!

I guess unless you use 192.168.1.x on your mgmt-network you wouldnt notice this behaviour.

Some customer use 192.168.1.x networks.:smileydevil:

I'm sure that this issue cause default gateway break down when they use 192.168.1.1 for their gateway, and PA reboot.
