## Symptoms

- * "`fw monitor`" does not show return traffic after you change the cluster configuration from VRRP to ClusterXL based on the instructions in [sk118034](https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk118034).

* The "`tcpdump`" command with the "`-e`" flag shows a MAC address that is not the MAC address of the device responding to the ARP requests.

## Cause

The Proxy ARP entries continue to point to the VRRP VMAC after the migration to ClusterXL.
