    If Avi Vantage IPAM cannot allocate an address for a new vIP, it will advertise an all-zeros host address - 0.0.0.0/32: This will cause Palo Alto PAN-OS to restart a peer - even if it is not the immediate downstream prefix. Palo Alto uses routed as their dynamic routing engine - so this is probably default behavior …
