IP redundant-vip configuration.

[Keong.leow]

Hi Giles,

Configured CSS with VRRP with Fate sharing .Currently there are 40 content rules active and defined Ip redundant-vip for each content(ex IP redundant-vip 1 1.1.1.1)in the circuit.

In near future there can be more content rules and the number of active contents(Vip address) reach 60-80.

Is there any way to simplfy the configuration without add adding each content vip address in the circuit as ip redundant-vip ?

PLease let me know .Thanks in advance

no - if the vip are part of a subnet define in a circuit, the css must be configured with redundant-vip.

If you want to avoid this, you have to use for your vip address a subnet that does not exist on the css. You then need to configure only 1 redundant-ip and use this ip on the next router to configure a static route for the vip subnet pointing to the CSS.

ie:

Router --- 10.0.1.0/24---- CSS - 10.0.2.0/24 servers

if you use subnet 1.1.1.0/24 for your vips, all you have to do for redundancy is configure a redundant-ip ie: 10.0.1.100 then on the router configure

ip route 1.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.1.100
