Firewall logs show frequent probe status changes after upgrade

Description

After upgrading to SonicOS 7.1.3-7015, the firewall logs show frequent and inconsistent network probe status changes, including messages such as:

  • "Policy Status is Unknown"
  • "Policy Status is Up"
  • "Host Up"

Despite these logs, all probes are successfully receiving responses for every request, with no actual failures observed. The issue was not present before the upgrade, indicating a potential change in how the firewall logs or interprets probe statuses.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Configure Network Probes across multiple LAN interfaces.
  2. Monitor firewall event logs over time.
  3. Logs will start showing repeated fluctuations in probe status (Unknown/Up/Host Up) even though all probes function correctly.

Resolution

Please open a support ticket, and we have a patch build available to address the issue. The HotFix (HF) can be provided per unit.

Please quote Issue ID GEN7-52340 when creating the support ticket only if the described symptoms match after upgrade to SonicOS 7.1.3-7015.
