Hello,

we have a EPAS-Ring with BD, Alpine and Summits. Now I have installed to new BD in this ring. And then I have instaled a second ring at the new BD. on the new BD I have configured a VRRP for the VLAN in the new ring. when i enable the vrrp. in my old ring i can't reach any PC, Server etc... , but when I disable the vrrp all is running fine. I have look for lopps, IP-conficts, double tag id's, untagged ports. But I don't have find any mistake.

Have anybody an Idea what I can do, or looking for?

Thanks

Chris
 
Check your config, both VRRP(L3) and ESRP(L2) will have one be in a slave mode. What I would do is create a separate vlan just to work out the bugs. We introduced ESRP onto our server vlan a while ago, and had the following issue. All the servers that had a patch cable running into the BD that was in slave mode lost network connectivity. While the ones that had patch cables running into each BD were fine. There's a command called ESRP host attached that allows a single patched host connected into the slave BD to pass through to the active BD. I'm not sure if extreme's vrrp command has a similiar command. If not you may want to look at ESRP, which runs at L2. We've been running it for approx 4years now.
