Multiple masters appear in a VRRP group
Symptom
Multiple masters appear in a VRRP group.
Analysis
It is normal for a VRRP group to have multiple masters for a short time, and this situation requires no manual intervention.
If multiple masters coexist for a longer period, check for the following conditions:
The masters cannot receive advertisements from each other.
The received advertisements are illegitimate.
Solution
To resolve the problem:
Ping between these masters:
If the ping operation fails, examine network connectivity.
If the ping operation succeeds, check for configuration inconsistencies in the number of virtual IP addresses, virtual IP addresses, and authentication. For IPv4 VRRP, also make sure the same version of VRRP is configured on all routers in the VRRP group. For VRRPv2, make sure the same VRRP advertisement interval is configured on the routers in the VRRP group.
