             I can't find anything in Known Fixed Releases

Hello @romualdGE ,

in the bug provided by @marce1000  that may apply to your device the suggested workarounds are:

a) to shut the interface

b) to issue the no ip address dhcp on the management interface in your case gi0/0

is your gi0/0 configured with ip address dhcp or it has a static IP address ?

Hope to help

Giuseppe

Hello Giuseppe,

we do not use DHCP (only static) and Gi0/0 must be activated as we use out-band management solution.
