Fixed In Version:
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: Starting from OCP 4.6 Keepalived runs in unicast mode, which means the bootstrap IP address should be included in the Keepalived configuration of master nodes. After bootstrap VM removed the bootstrap IP address still included in masters Keepalived configuration. Consequence: In case the bootstrap IP address will be allocated by the DHCP server to some other machine, master nodes will spam this machine with unicast VRRP announcement packets. Fix: Change the Keepalived flow during bootstrap, so the bootstrap will own the VIP till bootstrap complete phase and then the Keepalived on the bootstrap node will be shut down by the keepalived-monitor container on bootstrap. With this approach, master nodes don't need to include the bootstrap IP address in their Keepalived configuration. Result: No unused IP addresses included in Keepalived configuration file on master nodes.

Additional info:
Comment 1 Antoni Segura Puimedon 2020-08-25 14:57:51 UTC 
Moving severity to low, since it does not affect the cluster.
Comment 2 Ben Nemec 2020-08-25 15:00:53 UTC 
Targeting to 4.7 since this doesn't need to block 4.6. If we fix it before release we can always pull this back in.
