This error is probably caused by the following:
•
Inconsistent configuration of the switches in the VRRP group.
•
A switch is attempting to send illegal VRRP packets.
Solution:
•
In the first case, modify the configuration.
•
In the latter case, you have to resort to non-technical measures.
Symptom 2:
Multiple masters are present in the same VRRP group.
Analysis:
•
Multiple masters coexist for a short period: This is normal and requires no manual
intervention.
•
Multiple masters coexist for a long period: This is because switches in the VRRP group
cannot receive VRRP packets, or the received VRRP packets are illegal.
Solution:
Ping between these masters, and do the following:
•
If the ping fails, check network connectivity.
•
If the ping succeeds, check that their configurations are consistent in terms of number of
virtual IP addresses, virtual IP addresses, advertisement interval, and authentication.
Symptom 3:
Frequent VRRP state transition.
Analysis:
The VRRP advertisement interval is set too short.
Solution:
Increase the interval to sent VRRP advertisement or introduce a preemption delay.
