[c-nsp] Cisco 7304-NSE100 ICMP messages originated from 0.0.0.0

[Michiel Van Opstal]

Dear Colleagues,

I have a cisco 7304 with Dual NSE100 in SSO config running 12.2(31)SB10
and I am observing ICMP messages being sent from 0.0.0.0 as source
address. Did anyone observe this behaviour before?
I am suspecting this meight be related to port-channel configuration on this specific 7304.
