Hello, Are there any known issues with VRRP? I'm trying to setup VRRP in Eve / GNS3 but I fail to do so, somehow. My config is: R1 # 2026-04-03 22:17:31 by RouterOS 7.22 # system id = IyfNhU9TahK # /interface ethernet set [ find default-name=ether1 ] disable-running-check=no set [ find default-n…

address 192.168.0.1/24? network 192.168.0.0?

You could check which device's VRRP is master, are either or both. Is there perhaps another VRRP instance from some other device with default VRID. Do you need to add VRRP to an interface list (eg. LAN for a default ruleset)

We’re experiencing the same issue in versions 7.22 and 7.22.1. I’m running it on CHR with P1 licenses under ESXi 8.0 Update 3 (both instances). The IP failover between the two CHRs works correctly, but the VRRP address cannot be pinged. MAC addresses do appear in the ARP table, but no traffic actua…

Yes, that is correct. @rplant as @phoenixgeek also said, the VRRP instance is fine, it's up (only one of them at a time), everything seems fine. The firewall is not enabled, so it's not a firewall issue, it's a simple VRRP interface added to two new routers. No firewall, no anything. Config above. …

Maybe VRRP is a peculiar exception, but AFAICU a /32 address (with itself as network) is not pingable/reachable as it has an extremely narrow network (only itself): [image] silviub: add address=192.168.0.1 interface=VRRP network=192.168.0.1

VRRP is peculiar :slight_smile: VRRP - RouterOS - MikroTik Documentation /interface vrrp add name=vrrp1 interface=ether1 /ip address add address=192.168.1.2/24 interface=ether1 /ip address add address=192.168.1.1/32 interface=vrrp1

Yep, but it doesn't say anywhere that the VRRP address is pingable, the interface (ether1) on which the vrrp interface is attached has another address, and this is the one that is pingable, from what I understand. What I am trying to say (and not necessarily I am right, mind you) is that a /32 add…

That's not how it works. You have the 192.168.0.2/24 IP address and that adds to your routing table a route, telling the router that 192.168.0.0/24 is reachable via ether1 ( for example). Now, if you'd ping 192.168.0.1 there's no one to respond. That's where 192.168.0.1/32 comes into play. Now, wh…

You are right. :slightly_smiling_face: I just tested on an older version (7.15.3) CHR in GNS3 and the VRRP /32 address is pingable: /interface vrrp add name=vrrp1 interface=ether1 /ip address add address=192.168.1.2/24 interface=ether1 /ip address add address=192.168.1.1/32 interface=vrrp1 And th…

You're right, a route is added, but it's of no real use :smiley: I was only looking at the non /32 routes due to a previous filter :slight_smile: Submitting a bug now. Thank you for helping out.
