Hi Team,

Dear VPP Community,

We are currently using *VPP version 24.02* and have encountered an issue
related to VRRP configuration. We would appreciate your guidance on this
behavior.
Setup Details

   -

   Two VMs configured in an active/backup redundancy model.
   -

   A VRRP instance (VR ID 101) is configured on interface eth0.1.
   -

   eth0.1 is associated with *FIB table 1*.
   -

   Both VMs participate in this VRRP instance, with one acting as *Master*
   and the other as *Backup*.
   -

   In this setup, the Backup VM is able to successfully ping the VRRP VIP.

Issue Observed

When we configure a second VRRP instance with the *same VR ID (101)* on a
different interface (eth0.2), where:

   -

   eth0.2 belongs to a separate FIB table (FIB table 2),

we observe the following behavior:

   -

   The Backup VM is no longer able to ping the VRRP VIP of the first VRRP
   instance.
   -

   This functionality was working correctly prior to configuring the second
   VRRP instance.

Additional Observation

   -

   After restarting the VPP service, the ping to the first VRRP VIP from
   the Backup VM starts working again.
   -

   We understand that using the same VR ID results in the same Virtual MAC
   address.
   -

   However, we are unsure why restarting VPP restores correct behavior.

Query

   1.

   Is this an expected behavior when using the same VR ID across different
   interfaces and FIB tables?
   2.

   Could this be a known issue or limitation in VPP 24.02?
   3.

   Are there any recommended best practices for handling VRRP instances
   across multiple FIB tables?

Please let us know if additional logs, configuration snippets, or packet
captures would help in analyzing the issue further.

Thank you in advance for your support.

regards
Inder
