At least in RouterOS 6, it was indeed possible that the address attached to the VRRP interface was totally unrelated to the address attached to the underlying "physical" one, so you could e.g. use private or APIPA addresses (169.254.x.y) to let the two devices talk VRRP to each other and ...

Just curious if you happened to check the ESXi logs to find the root cause? Anyway, feel free to get back here if you find anything interesting for future reference. I did not. That is just a minor part of what I am trying to figure out. Pretty sure it has to do with the fact that I use 2 physical ...

After discussing the issue internally with some techs, our best guess at this point is that the flip-flop behavior might be caused by a VMware Virtual Network Adapter 'state change' which can happen for various reasons like network congestion, resource constraints, virtual switch misconfigurations,...

Here are the two test routers I have set up. OK, no firewall filter rules at all so VRRP packets from the other router can definitely get in if they make it through the LAN. With these configurations, what does /interface/vrrp/print where name=vrrp1 show at both test routers? I wouldn't pay any att...

Alright, got it. As for load balancing (ie vrrp load sharing) and grouping, have you checked if the ROS version has what you need? It might be worth a look, since it doesn’t have all the ‘bells and whistles’ of the Cisco IOS XR equivalent. The load balancing I can address down the road. My main con...

Sorry Wrong thread

Thanks, but I have to admit I'm pretty confused by the network diagram as the image doesn’t seem to follow a clear visual logic and it’s hard to make sense of it without additional context. For example, how does the red-dashed VRRP relate to the four nodes (VRRP1, VRRP2, CHR1, CHR2)? And what role ...

The datacenters are Cisco UCS/FI stacks being uplinked to our MPLS network through a pair of Cisco Nexus 9k and ASR 9ks for the MPLS ring. Ah, for me a "datacenter" normally means something provided by a 3rd party :D So I figure the two ASRs use BGP to advertise the public subnet where th...

He is the diagram. Not sure what you meant by VSM though.

As far as the networking goes all the traffic in the two datacenters are set up in vlans. The datacenters are Cisco UCS/FI stacks being uplinked to our MPLS network through a pair of Cisco Nexus 9k and ASR 9ks for the MPLS ring. We have a video streaming solution we run at one of the datacenter loca...

Sorry, by mirrored datacenters I meant geographically redundant. I have two datacenters in two different physical locations, but each is running the exactly same hardware as the other. Starting from the ground up I currently have the two CHR up and running and set up VRRP between them, but for some ...

I am trying to set up a couple of CHR to run side by side for a streaming service that we offer. This requires that I have a single WAN and and a single LAN address that I can use. For best availability I need to have one of the routers running as the primary and the other as the secondary so that i...

Shouldn't be an issue with my ISP, I actually work for them and know that we aren't blocking any ports or anything else. I can actually see the TCP connection established in the router log and then it goes no further.

I am trying to setup a PPTP connection to my home network. I have followed this http://networkingforintegrators.com/2012/08/how-to-vpn/ guide for setting it up and cannot get a connection. In the log I can see the TCP connection established but then nothing else and eventually the connection will ti...

I will be setting up a MT router that is going to have a single WAN connection with multiple boxes behind it. Each of the individual boxes will need a public static IP address that I am getting from our ISP, and each will need to be accessible from the internet. More specifically each will need to b...
