Re: [FW-1] Nokia VRRP Monitored Circuit Question

[Bill <wosterman1@FW1-NOSPAMCOMCAST.NET>]

Another easy way to view if vrrp is working.....

ifconfig -a

if a port -- for any reason good or bad -- believes it is the master, it
will list the virtual ip address and the virtual mac address with the actual
interface.

none of these methods --as far as i know -- will tell you directly if
monitored circuit is configured correctly.  you will have to test each port
in a failure scenario and use all the aforementioned methods to verify that
the correct box and ports are now the vrrp master(s).

to fail ports you can either pull cables or use the nokia voyager to
de-activate the logical layer for the duration of the test.  just be careful
that you do not cut yourself off from the box.

good luck
bill
