Duplicate IP address displayed on the Service Instance view in NSX-T for the SVM's

Products

• VMware NSX

Issue/Introduction

You observe duplicate IP addresses assigned to the Service Insertion nodes.
The issue is more likely to occur when IP pool is larger than number of deployed Service VMs.

Environment

• VMware NSX-T Data Center
• VMware NSX-T Data Center 3.x

Cause

IP addresses in the Service Insertion IP pool are not marked as permanent, and may be recycled back to the pool.

Resolution

Resolved in NSX-T Data Center 3.2.0.1 and in NSX-T 3.1.3.3.

Workaround:

Create IP pool for Service Insertion nodes, that will match number of deployed SI nodes.

Additional Information

Impact/Risks:
IP addresses in the Service Insertion IP pool may be recycled back and assigned to the newly deployed Service Insertion nodes consuming the pool.
