  • 1.  VRRP in VSX Pair

    Posted Feb 16, 2021 05:04 AM
    Good day team Airheads,

    I have a question for you. I realise that with VSX one can select what gets synchronised across the switch pair. In my case I have 2 6405 Switches which need to work as a core and provide default gateway functionality to all end devices. Are there any issues with implementing VRRP to achieve this across VSX? Anything I need to be aware of? Still best practice?

    Thank you for your support.

    Cheerie,

    Paul

    If you are using  6400 in VSX consider using ACIVE-GATEWAY this eliminates the requirement for VRRP. Providing a single hop gateway and the macs are managed by VSX

    However, If you must use  VRRP they are mutually exclusive with ACTIVE-GATEWAY  on an SVI.

    You can Sync VRRP across from what I recall it just enables it (VRRP) on the other chassis, but you need to complete the respective configuration for vlan/ip and VIP etc 

    Please refer to best practice  for ACTIVE_GATEWAY etc

    Implementing VRRP on a deployed VSX - to me - makes really little sense. IMHO go with Active-Gateway as per Aruba VSX Best Practices.
