VRRP

Hello All,

I need two host machines to have a single VIP and single VMAC using 
keepalived configuration. I followed the steps that are mentioned in the 
link
http://fossies.org/linux/keepalived/doc/NOTE_vrrp_vmac.txt

(OS: Ubuntu 14.04
Kernel Version: 3.13.0-46-generic)

But both the machines are becoming MASTER and VIP is assigned to both 
the machines.
The keepalived.conf file looks like

vrrp_instance instance1 {
    state BACKUP
    interface eth0
    virtual_router_id 250
    use_vmac
    vmac_xmit_base
    priority 150
    debug
    advert_int 1
    virtual_ipaddress {
        10.10.10.200
    }
}

VIP alone is working (if we remove the lines use_vmac and vmac_xmit_base 
from configuration). But with use_vmac, IP address is assigned to both 
the virtual address (vrrp.250).

Also syslog shows:

test-u1 Keepalived_vrrp[1455]: VRRP_Instance(instance1) Entering BACKUP 
STATE
test-u1 Keepalived_healthcheckers[1454]: Netlink: filter function error
test-u1 kernel: [17355.566235] IPv6: vrrp.250: IPv6 duplicate address 
XXXX::XXXX:XXXX:XXXX detected!
test-u1 Keepalived_vrrp[1455]: VRRP_Instance(instance1) Transition to 
MASTER STATE
test-u1 Keepalived_vrrp[1455]: VRRP_Instance(instance1) Entering MASTER 
STATE

Can anyone help me to fix this issue ?

Thanks and Regards,
Avinash.
