Hi,
I am in a trouble with ARUBA VRRP, I have the follow:
1- Two Controllers in Master/Local
2- management VLAN is 500
3- both are 6000-M3 model
4-They are running 6.1.3.1
5- I configured them fine and they can ping each other on the management VLAN. And they established a link between each other. and Master discovered the local and that appear on the monitor screen.
6- I configured the VRRP as follow:
Master:
-----------
!
vrrp 1
ip 10.1.1.1
vlan 500
preempt
authentication 123
no shut
priority 110
!
vrrp 2
ip 10.1.1.2
vlan 500
preempt
authentication 321
no shut
!
on Local:
-----------
!
vrrp 1
ip 10.1.1.1
vlan 500
preempt
authentication 123
no shut
!
vrrp 2
ip 10.1.1.2
vlan 500
preempt
authentication 321
no shut
priority 110
!
(reload both)
7- after this the following happen:
a- Master controller will be Master in vrrp 1 and will be backup in vrrp 2
b- Local controller will be Master on both vrrp 1 and vrrp 2
c- the link between Master/Local will go down (I can not see the local from the master monitoring screen)
d- from the master I can not ping the local management IP address and VRRP 2 address, however, I can ping any other address.
e- from the local I can not ping the master management IP address, however, I can ping other addresses.
This mean that the VRRP configuration caused me trouble between the controllers and the Local is not even switching to backup for VRRP1 !!!! even though the password is same and it has lower priority and preempt is enabled.
Am I missing something in the configuration or is it a software image issue?
