Hi community.

'''This script create a socket in EXOS that listen arp paquets at data plane and send that ARP request to the vlan “foo”.
We have “silent hosts” that we need to answer ARP request in the vlan foo. Once the silent host send the ARP reply, we can assignate a role and vlan using Identify Manager.

I am testing with an X460G2-24t-G4 , 21.1.5.2 patch1-7 and 30.5.1.15 software version, both of them has this issue I will describe.
I create the “arpClone” process:
* TEST_LAB.69 # create process arpClone python-module arpClone start auto vr VR-Default
* TEST_LAB.69 # show process "arpClone"
Process Name Version Restart State Start Time

The process start ok, is traced , and send the ARP request via socket to the vlan “foo”.
So far so good!
But there is a problem…
This process is killed, after any change of configuration’s switch. If create a vlan, for example:
* TEST_LAB.71 # create vlan 45
(the prompt is lost about 5 seconds..)
* TEST_LAB.72 # debug ems show trace "arpClone" all
ERROR: Process "arpClone" did not respond in time with trace information.
At this moment, process is still working, the socket is sending ARP request to the vlan “foo”.
But after about 6 minutes, the process is killed and I can show this log:
* TEST_LAB.72 # debug ems show trace "arpClone" all
ERROR: Process "arpClone" did not respond in time with trace information.
* TEST_LAB.74 # show process "arpClone"

How may I solve this? Did I forget to configure anything about process to refresh process’s information when changing the config?
Any one can help me?
Thanks and best regards.
