VRRP does not support active/active - only active/passive.

Or do you mean something else?

VRRP is always active/passive.

Ofcourse you can configure two VRRP domains with different routes and thus both are active.

Enhanced VRRP (EVRRP) might be a possibility in the future, to go active active all the way.

Hi,

Thanks for reply.

If its not possible with VRRP. Can i use IRF for Active/Active ?

I have 2 HP A5500 EI 24G switches and can i configure these switches as Master/Master Mode .

What are the the basic requirements. How to configure these 2 switches in Master/Master Mode.

Yes, that's the best solution. Because each switch has it's own routing-table sync with the irf members.

What is the configuration for Master Master IRF.

I have found below link is this configuration is enough or any extra changes required for master master configuration.

Please suggest me step by step.

IRF is allways Master/Master for forwarding services like switching and routing.

Follow the guide and you will be great.
