multiple instances, same vrid

Hi all,

I wanted to check whether it's okay to use the same virtual router id on different instances (each with their own interface and vips). Overall this seems to work but the behavior isn't consistent and I sometimes see log messages like this

  VRRP_Instance(vrrp5.14) ignoring received advertisment...
  ip address associated with VRID not present in received packet : 13.13.13.1
  one or more VIP associated with VRID mismatch actual MASTER advert

Here's an example of what I'm referring to

vrrp_instance vrrp5.2 {
          state BACKUP
          version 3
          interface eth0.2
          virtual_router_id 5
          priority 100
          advert_int 0.100000
          use_vmac eth1.2
          accept
          virtual_ipaddress {
                    2.2.2.1/16
          }
}

vrrp_instance vrrp5.3 {
          state BACKUP
   version 3
          interface eth0.3
   virtual_router_id 5
          priority 100
          advert_int 0.100000
          use_vmac eth1.3
          accept
          virtual_ipaddress {
                    3.3.3.1/16
   }
}

I'm also seeing cases where the highest numbered IP is left in a backup state with the lowest as the master. Don't know if it's related tho.


Thanks,
Rafael
