Mell,
Yah, used NTP to sync both fw.
Time diff is approx 1 - 10 milisecs.
 
Not sure if it has to do with STP. Seems like STP
is not recommended in Vrrps but our cust requires
STP. Enabled portfast and did some tuning on STP
configs but still didnt help.
 
Wonder if anyone outthere with VRRP config on Nokia
faces this prob?

Ay,
 
Have you checked that both the firewalls times are very close - within 10s of each other?

Mell,

We did check the sync for both fws and both seems to be up.
#cphaprob state

Run tcpdumps on both sides of fws and both seems to have I/O
on the sync interfaces.

Nokia Resolution - 3636
Said that it's a known issue and given some solution to it but to
no avail. Cold start & link delay recogz didnt help either.

FTP is still having problem failing back from Sec to Primary.
Anyhow, we will check out the fw ctl pstat and look at the connx
tables.

Thanks
Ay
