Description:

The RPA (Redundancy Preferred Address ) table loses manually entered IP Addresses when an interface reconfiguration takes place.

Solution:

When the attribute flush_RPA (attr id - 0x12806) is set to "yes", the entire RPA table is deleted when an Interface reconfiguration takes place, setting the attribute to "no" preserves the manually entered IP?s, as an Interface reconfiguration will now only update the RPA table instead of deleting and recreating it with discovered IP's.
