Error description

• When using SLM Peer multicasting, if one of the peers is out of
  service for a period and then starts receiving messages, the
  appliance might restart, and at times continuously.
  

Local fix

• Reboot the peer which is not restarting to bring both peers into
  sync and stop the restarts.
  

Problem summary

• Affected are DataPower appliances in SLM peer groups.
  
  If one of the appliances is misconfigured so that it does not
  receive the SLM peering multicast messages from the other group
  members, once the misconfiguration is corrected, one of the
  group members might hang and restart with watchdog.
  

Problem conclusion

• Fix is available in 5.0.0.14, 6.0.0.6 and 6.0.1.2.
