Good evening, I have two RB5009s that I am trying to use in a VRRP (master/backup) configuration so that I can update one without taking down the internet for everyone in the home. Configs are identical with the exception of R2 having VLAN interface IPs that are one more than R1s. I have all the ports (except ether1) in a bridge configuration with ether5 and sfp+ being used as trunks. VLAN filtering is enable.
I have been able to create VRRP interfaces for the 4 VLANS that I use and successfully get sync with R1 as master and R2 as backup. However, when I disconnect R1 from my switch, the switch over to R2 does not happen and internet connection dies. VRRP VIP is the same as the master VLAN interface address (i.e. VLAN 10.20.160.1/24, VRRP 10.20.160.1/32, etc)
Was hoping someone could help me a little as I'm at a dead end. Is what I am trying to accomplish possible? Can you describe to me how it would be done if so? More than happy to provide configs as well but figured I'd ask if what I'm trying to do is even possible to start with and hope someone might steer me in the right direction. Thanks in advance!
