Procurve E5406zl, known issues when using VRRP

[Lehani]

Hi

my former network administrator on work, tells me that VRRP fails when running them on two HP Procurve E5406zl switches.

can that be true ? i dont know what firmware he would be referring to.

might be k.15.02.0005, since that is the old boot image on my switches.

running atm. K.15.13.0005.

any known issues what so ever?

I guess VRRP can fail if it's not configured correctly.

What does "VRRP fails" mean, precisely?

hehe, eh... i am about to take over the network part on the job, from a former guy who don't know anything about HP :P

so i dont know what type of fails he was referring to, the setup i got from you in a former post, is looking like this:

ip routing
router vrrp
enable
 
Switch A:

vlan 100
ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
vrrp vrid 100
owner
virtual-ip-address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
enable
 
Switch B:
vlan 100
ip address 10.1.1.2 255.255.255.0
vrrp vrid 100
backup
virtual-ip-address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
priority 200
enable

i will return with some updated information, as soon as i got a answer back from the former guy.

Should be OK.
