  • 1.  virtual MAC on VRRP configuration

    Do we use virtual mac on VRRP in case of Juniper ? We are using Cisco –Juniper as primary secondary setup in our network.

     

    We see virtual mac in case of Cisco but not for Juniper SRX.

    I was just looking up some information on VRRP like two minutes ago. here is a little bit so far.

    Options

    group-id—VRRP group identifier. If you enable MAC source address filtering on the interface, you must include the virtual MAC address in the list of source MAC addresses that you specify in the source-address-filter statement. MAC addresses ranging from 00:00:5e:00:01:00 through 00:00:5e:00:01:ff are reserved for VRRP, as defined in RFC 2338. The VRRP group number must be the decimal equivalent of the last hexadecimal byte of the virtual MAC address.

    I am reading the RFC 2338 as we speak:). If I come across anything interesting for VRRP MAC, I will copy and paste later.
