Expected behavior is for keepalived to synthesize a virtual mac address to go along with the virtual IP address. This is important in situations where systems do not accept gratuitous ARP as a means to fail over a virtual IP address. I have built a version against the latest upstream (1.2.7), which does honor the use_vmac directive as expected. below follows an example of how it should look (see 6:): 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000 link/ether 08:00:27:36:14:4f brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.4.105/24 brd 192.168.4.255 scope global eth0 inet6 fe80::a00:27ff:fe36:144f/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 3: virbr0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state DOWN link/ether a2:20:3b:c0:e0:1a brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.122.1/24 brd 192.168.122.255 scope global virbr0 6: vrrp.90@eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN link/ether 00:00:5e:00:01:5a brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.4.200/32 scope global vrrp.90 inet6 fe80::200:5eff:fe00:15a/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/keepalived/+bug/1055892/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-ha Post to : ubuntu-ha@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-ha More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
