## Symptoms

- * The output of the "`asg monitor`" command in the context of the VS shows the chassis as `DOWN`:

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  ```

* The output of the "`cphaprob show_bond`" command shows a difference in the number of monitored bonded interfaces between the Active and the DOWN SGMs:

  **Active SGMs:**
  >
  > ```
  >                                       |Slaves     |Slaves  |Slaves
  > Bond name  |Mode               |State |configured |link up |required
  > -----------+-------------------+------+-----------+--------+--------
  > bond2      | Load Sharing      | UP   | 2         | 2      | 1
  >   
  > ```

  **Down SGMs:**
  >
  > ```
  > #  cphaprob show_bond
  > 
  >                                       |Slaves     |Slaves  |Slaves

  > bond2      | Load Sharing      | UP   | 4         | 4      | 3
  > bond1.919  | Load Sharing      | UP   | 4         | 4      | 3
  > bond1.912  | Load Sharing      | UP   | 4         | 4      | 3
  > ```

## Cause

The monitored interfaces across the SGMs are misaligned because of a miscalculation of the slave interfaces.
