  • 1.  VRRP not working

    Posted Aug 02, 2023 11:03 AM

    Hello All,

    I have a couple of questions, VRRP is configured on Aruba 7210 WLCs, when I rebooted the primary conductor for a smooth failover but the backup conductor didn't came up as a master role,
    I have connected the primary one on Fiber connection to CORE Sw however the standby has just a 1G connection to CORE.
    what is the issue of VRRP not working? I send the tech support file to Aruba support they quoted that the VRRP ain't configured.
    Is the connection links make problem for that?

    is this resolved? the link speed should not have any bearings on VRRP operation, but for sure we always recommend to have the same link speed and type for any form of redundancy.

    Also what firmware version are you using?

    No it is not resolved yet, 
    both WLCs have an identical firmware which is 8.10.0.7_87023 (LSR)

    Can you check from the CLI the VRRP status on both controllers?

    (MM01) [mynode] #show vrrp


Virtual Router 10:
    Description
    Admin State UP, VR State MASTER
    IP Address 192.168.31.10, MAC Address 00:00:5e:00:01:0a, vlan 31
    Priority 110, Advertisement 1 sec, Preemption Enable Delay 30
    Auth type PASSWORD, Auth data: ********
    tracking is not enabled

(MM02) [mynode] #show vrrp


Virtual Router 10:

    Yes.

    But the quote from TAC that VRRP is not configured seem false as you have a working VRRP. Did you link the VRRP to the Master/Conductor Redundancy? I found a video here (external, non-Aruba) on how to set this up without MM/Mobility Conductor. Maybe that helps...
