IP flaps on devices during pattern multipage processing - Known Error

IP flaps on devices during pattern multipage processing Description Device that has dual ip address on a virtual bond (bond0). When we run discovery against any IP, the IP address of the CI would flap to that address.

Steps to Reproduce

The device has two IP address, 172.22.30.159 and 172.22.23.238

Say the ci of the device is on IP 172.22.30.159 Run discovery against 172.22.23.238 The ip address field of the ci is updated to 172.22.23.238

Workaround In the current scenario the logic only runs for payloads which have cmdb_ci_ip_address records. Then compares the ip_address of the main CI with the IPs discovered and finally with the IP we already have in the DB to determine if we should let the update happen. In multipage payload this ends up splitting cmdb_ci_ip_address into multiple payloads and thus the issue.
