Re: [FW-1] Nokia HA- why backup vrrp requires host route, proxy-a rp doesn't



Yes, with proxy-arp it was using the VMAC.  Now I have moved them to VRRP
backup IP's.  In order for it to work, I had to create the host routes
pointing to the internal next hop router.  For some reason they were
required with VRRP backup.  It is strange that it was working for several
months on proxy-arp, with no host routes.  I do, however, have a static
route to the subnet that the static IP is NAT'd to.  This means one of two
things:

With proxy-arp things go Accept -> NAT -> route
or
With proxy-arp it was using the static route for the internal subnet.  I
don't know how it could have done this though, if NAT didn't happen before
it was routed.  Very strange.  Thanks for your reply.

are you proxy arping for the vrrp monitored circuit mac address.

Also I would aways add the host routes for 4.1 firewalls.
