I wonder if the issue is the fact that Brocade uses the same MAC address for all VEs, and the device is doing the wrong thing.
Has anyone tried setting up vrrp on a ve in this topology (even though it is a single device) to see if it does the right thing? That should cause the traffic to the VRRP IP address to use a different MAC address... I think Frank proposed this as a solution to a different problem once, although I never heard if it worked. -- Eldon Koyle On Wed, Mar 2, 2016 at 7:00 AM, Nick Cutting <[email protected]> wrote: > Or better yet, build a network without two gateways on the same LAN.
