Add 'ip address 10.99.99.1/22 secondary' to the backup router's ve205 for that.

Good suggestion, but they outfoxed me:

telnet@router(config-vif-205)#ip address 10.99.99.1 255.255.252.0 secondary
IP/Port: Errno(13) Backup VRRP router already uses this IP address

That's the config I have on my XMRs...

Have you tried shutting the ve on the backup, disabling VRRP, adding the address, enabling VRRP and re-enabling the interface?


I am "okay" with the other suggestions that the ping problem is according to RFC standards. Just wonder why that would be considered useful, if indeed required by spec.

Yeah it is, the original RFC specifies that no traffic to the VRRP address should be accepted at all. Generates lots of support calls of the "I can't ping my default gateway!" variety, though, so this was changed for VRRP-E and plenty vendors already ignored it for VRRP (HSRP also replied to pings).
