"vrrp track address " always down

[sulisu]

Hello,

According to manual, I think "vrrp track 1 address 1.1.1.1" means it can verify whether the ip address is reachable or not.

But the track result is always down, altough the ip address is reachable through ping.

BFD is optional so I think it verify the ip address can use other mothed such as ping, the document does not reveal detail on how the vrrp track address works. Is my configure method wrong?

Thanks.

Can you post the complete VRRP config?

Hi,

I have not associated the track with vrrp instance. But If I make a track of port or vlan-interface, it works without being associated with vrrp instance.

I also doubt why the "vrrp track address" needs ip address only. I think it should be associated with ip address and a port or vlan-interface, if not, how do the switch know that the specific link associated with the address is down?

here is the sample of vrrp configuratioin
->show configuration snapshot vrrp
! VRRP :
VRRP TRACK 1 ENABLE PRIORITY 50 ADDRESS 10.33.200.41

if you have associated the track to the vrrp instances at the master than you config seams to be correct. You should open a ticket at alcatel?
