Routing Protocol Configuration Command Set
Configuring VRRP
13.2.6.5 master-icmp-reply
Use this command to enable ICMP replies for non-owner masters. This provides the ability for the
virtual router master to respond to an ICMP echo even if it does not "own" the virtual IP address.
Without this function, the virtual router can only respond to an ICMP echo when the virtual IP
address matches the real IP address of the interface. Therefore, when the backup router takes over,
there would be no device that would answer the ICMP echo for that virtual IP (because only the
primary was configured with the matching real IP). With master-icmp-reply enabled, management
stations that use "ping" to poll devices will be able to "see" that the virtual router is available when
the backup router assumes the role of master.
