"What happens if you set master ip to 10.99.99.2, secondary to 10.99.99.3 and floating ip to 10.99.99.1?"
This is called VRRP-E and works great. If that's what you're trying to do, then use VRRP-E instead of VRRP.

What happens if you set master ip to 10.99.99.2, secondary to 10.99.99.3 and floating ip to 10.99.99.1? Or is this not valid? When you fail over to backup, have you tried clearing your ARP cache to see if that's why you can't ping? > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:foundry-nsp- > [email protected]] On Behalf Of Tamas Csillag > Sent: Tuesday, 15 May 2012 6:39 AM > To: Steven Raymond > Cc: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [f-nsp] Cannot ping VRRP IP when backup active > > As I know, VRRP does not support icmp echo replies on the virtual IP. > The owner replies because it has a physical interface with the same > IP, however if a backup becomes active, it'll only have the virtual > IP, so it won't answer. > One of the things Brocade always announces about it's VRRP-E is that > it always replies to ping. > Most vendors provide a config statement to enable pinging the virtual > IP, but that's not strictly following the RFC. > > Tamas > > > On 05/14/2012 09:26 PM, Steven Raymond wrote: > > Two routers, MLXe, simple VRRP configuration.
