VRRP Question - Break Apart

Thu May 23, 2019 10:07 pm

I have done some searching but could not clearly find an answer to this.

I am working on replacing 2 Mikrotik's with a different vendor/model of router and need a little help.

Both routers are setup in a data center with VRRP setup on the public side. I need to break apart the VRRP and move all the IP addresses to the (currently) master router. What is the safest way to accomplish this remotely?

The internet comes in and connects to a WAN switch. My goal is to install the new router side by side and move over resources one at a time, but any time I mess with the IP addressing on the VRRP it fails over and goes wonky. For now, I just want to remove the VRRP on the WAN side.

I'd just turn off VRRP on backup router. Then there will be only master with all addresses and nothing else will influence it. And then you can remove addresses one by one and give them to another device.
