Juniper-Cisco Vrrp problem

[Jawwad_Paracha]

I have cisco 3845 and juniper J2320 router. Configured VRRP on both devices. With the change in priority cisco router goes to master and backup state. But Juniper J2320 router still remains in master state even when priority on cisco device is increased.

Need help urgent.

Hi,

could you please paste your configurations and output of "monitor traffic interface ge-x/x/x detail" from your VRRP interface? Thanks!

Kind Regards

The symptoms you describe point to a unidirectional packet loss problem.  Seems like the 3845 is hearing the VRRP packets from the J2320.  But, the J2320 isn't getting (or not accepting for some reason) the packets from the 3845.

Do you have a input firewall filter on the lo0.0 interface of J2320?  Is it configured to accept VRRP?

Note: if you are using VRRP authentication, you will need to allow IP proto 51 (IP Authentication Header AH) too.

Please check the config below.

vrrp-group 1 {
virtual-address 1.1.1.1;
priority 90;
fast-interval 100;
preempt {
hold-time 60;
}
accept-data;
authentication-type simple;
authentication-key "$9$MRv8NdwYgJUjsY"; ## SECRET-DATA

Cisco:

vrrp 1 ip 1.1.1.1
vrrp 1 timers advertise msec 100
vrrp 1 authentication 1234
vrrp 1 priority 110

I have even tried without authentication,even without fast-interval.

Hi,

what is IP address on the physical interface (J-series, )? If it is not 1.1.1.1 then Bens answer should help you.

can you do show vrrp on both routers and provide output here

may be router does not see each other so they both remained in active state?
