Hi. In the instructions for VRRP I see the note: address on VRRP interface must have /32 netmask. But I configure VRRP with the /24 mask. On the parent interface ip set of private network. Here is my configuration and it works:
MK1
Is this something that was fixed since 6.7? If not, you might want to check your own software. I’ve got VRRP set up on multiple 6.7 installs and /32 masks DON’T WORK (interfaces stay red and inactive). /24 masks pass traffic and work as expected.
No, this isn’t right. I set up and tested this on a couple of RB750 routers on 6.27. When you utilize /32 masks on the VRRP interfaces, you cannot communicate with the routers when they are VRRP-master. Can’t ping, winbox, route, etc. If you set /24 masks, everything works fine.
Keep in mind, my config is utilizing 3 IP addresses between 2 routers. Each router will have its own unique IP address for “local” management on the ethernet port or bridge interface and will share the VRRP IP assigned to the VRRP interfaces.
Please examine the link that is provided in the post. There are /32 for VRRP and /24 for regular networking.
Have you tried to access router by /24 address? It should work fine.
My configuration - two CCR1036-16G 2S+ on firmware 6.24, two BGP session on each, VRRP and gateways for the six networks /24. I do not need access to the router from a / 24 network. I have a single interface to access. I wonder, in this configuration, whether or not I have a problem with the availability of networks? How reliable /32 or /24 on VRRP?
I picked up a stand in GNS3 and VRRP works in the /24. Why it works, because it is written in the manual that i need /32 on VRRP?
Maybe it only works in gns3?
Will this work on real hardware?
I do not understand why you want to use for each network (I have 6 networks at all) dedicated vrrp /32 address, can you explain?
/32 should be used for VRRP interface, there should be only one VRRP address/interface, that belongs to one of your 6 networks (if such are present).
Proper configuration example is listed in the links above, you can configure VRRP (or any other feature) in your own way and it might work too.
I attach only one .1/ 32 address to the VRRP. Attached to the the parent interface: xxx.xxx.xxx.1/24 on the master router and xxx.xxx.xxx.2/24 on the backup for the another five networks. With this configuration, if the master router fails, then only one network is working, because a gateways to other networks are became five addresses .2. I think i need six 1/32 addresses on VRRP or six VRRP with only one .1/32 on each.
