    Hi Everybody!

     

    I ran into a silly issue today while setting up VRRP on ArubaOS-CX. I had all the configs place & still i dint have Master & backup in VRRP for the only group(100) in which i had them configured. Ran sh vrrp ipv4 100 to see the below o/p-

     

    switch# sh vrrp ipv4 100

    VRRP is enabled

    Interface 1/1/1 - Group 100 - Address-Family IPv4
    State is INIT (Group Disabled)
    State duration
    Virtual IP address is 192.168.100.1
    Advertisement interval is 1000 msec
    Version is 2
    Preemption is enabled
    min delay is 0 sec
    Priority is 255
    Master Router is 0.0.0.0
    Master Advertisement interval is 1000 msec
    Master Down interval is 3003 msec

     

     

    Took some time & the solution was in " No shutdown "  under the specific group.

     

    Configs before  " No shutdown "

    ------------------------------------------

    switch# sh run vrrp
    router vrrp enable
    interface 1/1/1
    vrrp 100 address-family ipv4
    address 192.168.100.1 primary
    exit

     

     

    Configs after " No shutdown "

    -----------------------------------------

    switch# sh run vrrp
    router vrrp enable
    interface 1/1/1
    vrrp 100 address-family ipv4
    address 192.168.100.1 primary
    no shutdown
    exit
    switch#

     

    Offcourse the saviour came from ArubaOS-CX Virtual Switching
    Extension (VSX) Guide for 10.01.

     

    Hope this helps for somebody!

     

    Thanks to Aruba Team for letting out the Configuration Guide!

    Please remind that all physical ports on ArubaOS-CX (8400, 8320, 8325) are shutdown by defaul, whatever they are L2 or L3 ports.

    This is also true for LAG.

    This is for better control of new switch insertion in the core/agg network layer (no port is active by default).
