Hi all,

We have another problem/question related to VRRP. When the router connect to 
the setup has disabled MAC learning, the ARP table on the router doesn't have 
the virtual MAC for the VIP but the physical MAC of the interface on the VRRP 
master.

Tracing showed that GARP is sent from VIP with physical MAC of the interface:
22:33:52.620143 78:ac:44:1f:47:60 > ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, ethertype 802.1Q 
(0x8100), length 46: vlan 101, p 0, ethertype ARP, Ethernet (len 6), IPv4 (len 
4), Request who-has 172.17.1.126 tell 172.17.1.3, length 28

22:33:59.485321 78:ac:44:1f:47:60 > 00:25:90:5f:67:45, ethertype 802.1Q

This seems to be wrong. If I read the standard correctly 
(https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3768, ch. 8.2), it should use the 
virtual router MAC address for GARP requests.

MASTER conifg:
# vppctl show vrrp vr
[0] sw_if_index 26 VR ID 231 IPv4
   state Master flags: preempt no accept yes unicast no
   priority: configured 200 adjusted 200
   timers: adv interval 100 master adv 100 skew 21 master down 321
   virtual MAC 00:00:5e:00:01:e7
   addresses 172.17.1.3
   peer addresses
   tracked interfaces

VPP version (includes  https://gerrit.fd.io/r/c/vpp/+/34815 ):
# vppctl show version verbose
Version:                  v21.06.0-2~g4ffc97bad
Compiled by:              suse
Compile host:             SUSE
Compile date:             2022-02-21T13:42:14
Compile location:         /root/vpp-21.06-release/vpp
Compiler:                 GCC 7.5.0
Current PID:              6528

Is this a bug in VPP or is there a configuration parameter which I overlooked?

Thanks for your help,
