VRRP tracking

    Hello all!

     

    In the VRRP interface tracking config all I can find is to subtrack x from the priority, but not add.

     

    When my NAT public link goes down I want the inside privet vlans VRRP to flip to the other controller, can this be done?

     

    Here is my config..

     

    1/3 is my public routed interface..

     

    controler  1

     

    vrrp 11


     priority 110

      authentication admin
      ip address 172.16.255.1
      vlan 1311
      tracking interface gigabitethernet 1/3 sub 20
      no shutdown

     

    controller 2

     priority 100

      authentication admin
      ip address 172.16.255.1
      vlan 1311
      tracking interface gigabitethernet 1/3 sub 20
      no shutdown

     

    Thanks

    Q.

    Controller 1 - VRRP master - priority 110 

    Controller 2 - VRRP standby - priority 100 

     

    If the link on interface gig1/3 goes down on controller 1, then the tracked priority will be (110-20) = 90

     

    90 < 100 (VRRP priority of Controller 2)

     

    Controller 2 will receive VRRP advertisement with lower priority from Controller 1 and hence will assume the VRRP master role and start serving the virtual IP 172.16.255.1

    Be careful, you  must use the "preempt" command in your VRRP configuration.  A backup VRRP device does not assume a master role unless preempt is enabled.

    Yes. You will have to configure preemption on the backup controller.

    You need to configure "preempt" on both controllers so the backup will take over when the master fails and the master will resume as master when it's back up.
