Every interface that is configured as a VRRP Virtual Router will Send the VRRP packets out that interface... It's how the other interfaces On the same network know that the Master is up. The only way to filter those would be to put a Firewall or Router between The VRRP Cluster and your workstations..

I don't know about you, but I always strive to reduce network traffic whenever possible. These packets are only needed by the firewalls, but they travel around the whole network. I don't like that <s> Thanks for your answer.
