VRRP and IPv6 issues?

Fri May 23, 2014 4:50 pm

Hi All,

Does anyone have VRRP v3 working with IPv6? We are using 6.13 and am unable to get VRRP v3 to function with IPv6 addresses?

When the two routeboards (1100 and 1200) are configured with global IPv6 addresses we can ping each router. We then configure VRRP v6 (ipv6), it then converges correctly so one is master and one is backup but at this point we immediately lose access to the master router. Neither the IPv6 assigned to the physical interface or the IPv6 address associated with the VRRP interface respond. The other router continues to respond correctly. If the VRRP interface is disabled on both routers the former master router becomes accessible.

The only thing I can see is that the default gateway is visible in the 'IPv6 Neighbor List' without VRRP active but as soon as VRRP is enabled on the router that is the master it disappears immediately.

Has anyone got any thoughts?

Thanks,
