## Symptoms

- When connecting to a Security Group configured in the Bridge Mode, the connection is forwarded to one of the non-SMO Security Group Members. (Note: SMO stands for Single Management Object.)

For example, after connecting with an SSH client to such a Security Group, the "`asg stat -i tasks`" command shows that the "`SMO`" task runs on another Security Group Member (the command output does not show "`(local)`").
