I was not aware with vrrp one > could have two routers handling packets :/ This may have changed, but I believe Vyatta only supports one VRRP address per interface. Consider what I'm describing here a feature request, although perhaps someone else can comment on how to make this work with the current functionality. :) If Vyatta supported multiple VRRP addresses (and the equipment behind it supports ECMP), you could do active/active by configuring two default gateway addresses and using the VRRP priority/preempt parameters to give one address an affinity for one router and one for the other. For instance: Router A, x.x.x.3, VRRP addresses x.x.x.1 priority 100 and x.x.x.2 priority 50 Router B, x.x.x.4, VRRP addresses x.x.x.1 priority 50 and x.x.x.2 priority 100 Device C, x.x.x.5, default gateway configured as x.x.x.1 and x.x.x.2 with equal metrics In normal operation, half the packets will be processed by either router (depending on how device C implements equal cost multipath). If one router fails, both the .1 and .2 addresses end up on the surviving box. N.B. this breaks stateful packet inspection. I believe the original reason for the one-addres-per-interface restriction was due to the virtual MAC address. Now that we have the disable-vmac option, perhaps this limitation could be removed? - -- Dave Pifke, [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3ia Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBR4aPSTuW2fOIQC3pAQFKmgP/U6kbweEz+HR0Tbrq5aeoXOZu2JXpav4y fVjBzG8wR7mL/2b1whiVjUq/hj55uiMcXPWQ4+dxWvbRoJgZZx1o1kpjfASW3z+J aCJ4fbcv0O2fmWqxVGuEc8gPohW3BrBuWOipj1y7vFofmfV7dkEtyOdLLFbaLE9I Jt7AFqzoFCM= =ASQ2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Vyatta-users mailing list Vyatta-users@mailman.vyatta.com http://mailman.vyatta.com/mailman/listinfo/vyatta-users
