hey all,
so this may be a bit hard to explain but i will try,
so we have two sites one site is the master for vrrp and the other is the slave, recently we had an issue were all the external traffic on the slave side was being black holed ( master side was fine).we found out the course was that the default gateway on the slave was set to a firewall's physical ip and not the virtual ip and that firewall was down at the time. the master was set up correctly( poor managment i know but it has know been corrected).
what confused me is that should all the external traffic be sent from the slave to the master as the client sends its info to the mac address of the default gateway and that being the vrrp vertual mac address and thus for the master having control of it and forwarding the traffic
so my qustion is that shouldnt all the traffic been sent directly to the master as it had the vrrp address and then forwarded out from there?
