Hi Guys Has anyone had much experience with using Vrrp on a Mikrotik? It seemed pretty easy to setup but the manual said the floating IP must be a /32 and to put an IP on the physical interface with a /24 This seemed wrong so I just put a /24 on the Vrrp interface and a completely different subnet on the physical interface for the routers to communicate.
Thinking I was clever all was well till about 1am two days after I did this, then it completely failed, switching back and forth from master to backup, basically having two masters on and off. Is having a /32 on the vrrp really necessary, if so why? Why would it have been all good for two days? So my config that lasted two days Vrrp 192.168.1.1/24 (floating IP I care about) Physical 10.0.1.1/24 (to communicate with master/backup routers) How the manual says to do it Vrrp 192.168.1.1/32 Physical 192.168.1.2/24 Doing it the second way will mean a lot more IP's/config as I want to have around 20 floating IP's Thanks again for any help.
