Hi

I want to propose a new Maintenance Event (modification of Shutdown Event) =
for VRRP (RFC-5798] which would allow to gracefully failover the VRRP Maste=
r to Redundant (Backup Router).

Problem Statement:
VRRP preemption is not configured on the redundant / backup router. How to =
initiate VRRP Traffic to failover to the redundant / backup router graceful=
ly without modifying the configuration on the redundant / backup router (i.=
e. adding preemption)

Proposed Solution:
Addition to Section 6.4.3 of RFC-5798:

- If a Maintenance event is received, then:

+ Cancel the Adver_Timer

+ Send an ADVERTISEMENT with Priority =3D 0

-endif // maintenance recv

Unlike Shutdown event the router will not "Transition to the {Initialize} s=
tate" and continue to be Master and forward traffic  till the backup router=
 sends an ADVERTISEMENT (triggered by receiving an ADVERTISEMENT with Prior=
ity =3D 0) and becomes master.

Here are couple of examples of how a maintenance event may be triggered


1)      By some user command e.g. "maintenance-mode" in the vrrp configurat=
ion.

2)      By setting the priority =3D 0 for a particular VRID.

Thanks
-Anurag
