VIP Redundancy and Management interface

[thisisshanky]

If two CSS's have been configured as active and standby (VIP redundancy), and one of the interfaces of the active CSS goes down, and say the backup becomes active, I lose total connectivity to the Active box via the management interface IP. Once it regains back the active status, i can reconnect. Is this a "feature" or a "bug"...??

That's not like any behavior I've seen. That's when you need to get to the box most is when a interface or VIP fails. Sounds like a bug or configuration issue to me.

I think the software version is 6.14 build 107..I will post the configs soon..i dont see anything wrong with the configuration, its all straight forward configuration. I will post the boot config and the running config soon.
