External IP not allowed to be the same as mapped IP

External IP not allowed to be the same as mapped IP

Traffic will be dropped when the IPS is enabled in a policy with a VIP that has the same external and mapped IP.

To avoid this, the kernel will disallow the configuration of the same extip and mappedip for VIPs in the CLI starting from FortiOS 6.0.0.
