Symptoms
Multicast traffic (e.g., PIM, IPv6, OSPFv3) through ClusterXL in Bridge mode running on Gaia OS is forwarded on the Standby cluster member - when PIM is enabled on the routers surrounding the cluster, a loop is formed through the Standby cluster member for just the PIM traffic. IPv4 traffic continues as expected.
Cause
Standby member does not drop the multicast traffic as it should.
