## Symptoms

- * Running the commands "sim if" or "fwaccel if" for clustering interfaces it shows up as "0.0.0.0" instead of the actual Cluster VIP.
* The interface is set to "Cluster" mode but the output of 'cphaprob -a if'shows it as "non-monitored".
* cphaconf.elg seems to indicate that it is an unused interface:   
  `[cphaconf ...] ........ /opt/CPsuite-R80.20/fw1/bin/cphaconf called with these arguments: /opt/CPsuite-R80.20/fw1/bin/cphaconf -D -i 1 -n 4602 -c 2 -m 3 -l 1 -t Sync -d eth2-01 -d eth2-02 -A -p 0 -z 1 -N 254 -u FW-LPN-AMD-PRIM,FW-LPN-AMD-SEC start`
