This more of a "friday" post for fun. Although problem was real - in one of our 5900 clusters running R80.10 the standby member out of blue produced some obscure errors on one of the 10Gb bond trunks (eth1-04)

It was resolved by node reboot. The only relevant SK I found was this Intermittent outages of TCP traffic on 10GbE interfaces in IP Appliances running Gaia OS but it's not applicable to R80.10 nor 5900 and offload is definitely disabled on interfaces.
Here's the best part - the display on the appliance at the time showed this
Does this mean firewall needs to go to toilet?? P-p-p-peee....
