Note - When you add, delete or make changes to interface IP addresses, it is possible that when you use the Get Topology option in SmartConsole in the Security Gateway or Cluster object, the incorrect topology is shown. If this occurs, run the "cpstop" and then the "cpstart" commands on the Security Gateway or Cluster Members.
