## Symptoms

- * OSPF breaks on *new* Active member after cluster fail-over.

* RouteD traces on *former* Active member (still RouteD master member) show that new Active member (still RouteD slave member) sends OSPF Initial State request. Former Active member (still RouteD master) responds to the request, it is unable to send OSPF protocol state:

  `
  `*Date Time*` master: INIT_STATE_REQ from `*Member_ID_of_new_Active* `, seq=...; local seq=...`  
  `
  `*Date Time*` CLUSTER: Sending initial state START to `*Member_ID_of_new_Active*   
  `
  `*Date Time*` igmp_cluster_send_init_state: initial state d'load to member `*Member_ID_of_new_Active*` started`  
  `
  `*Date Time*` igmp_cluster_send_rstats_state: sending global rstats`  
  `
  `*Date Time*` cpcl_should_send() returns -1`  
  `
  `*Date Time*` igmp_cluster_send_sstats_state: sending global sstats`  
  `
  `*Date Time*` cpcl_should_send() returns -1`  
  `
  `*Date Time*` OSPF CLUSTER: iface `*X.X.X.X* `(`*Name_of_Interface* `) send <DR>`  
  `
  `*Date Time*` cpcl_should_send() returns -1`  
  `
  `*Date Time*` OSPF CLUSTER: iface `*X.X.X.X* `(`*Name_of_Interface* `) send crypto sequence <0x...>`  
  `
  `*Date Time*` cpcl_should_send() returns -1`  
  `
  `*Date Time*` OSPF CLUSTER: Master sends neighbor `*Y.Y.Y.Y* `(`*Name_of_Interface* `) <FULL>`  
  `
  `*Date Time*` cpcl_should_send() returns -1
  `

## Cause

RouteD master member fails to synchronize the OSPF state because this cluster member is not in Running state anymore.
