Configuring an Interface to Accept Packets Destined for the
Virtual IP Address
To configure an interface to accept packets destined
for the virtual IP address, include the accept-data statement
at the either of the following hierarchy levels:
-
[edit interfaces interface-name unit logical-unit-number family (inet | inet6)
address address (vrrp-group | vrrp-inet6-group)] group-id
-
[edit logical-systems logical-system-name interfaces interface-name unit logical-unit-number family (Inet | inet6) address address (vrrp-group
| vrrp-inet6-group)] group-id
-
accept-data;
To prohibit the interface from accepting packets
destined for the virtual IP address, include the no-accept-data statement:
-
no-accept-data;
The accept-data statement has the following
consequences:
- If the master router owns the virtual IP address, the accept-data statement is not valid.
- If the priority of the master router is set to 255, the accept-data statement is not valid.
- To restrict incoming IP packets to ICMP only, you must
configure firewall filters to accept only ICMP packets.
- If the master router owns the virtual IP address, the
master router responds to Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP)
message requests only.
- If you include the accept-data statement:
- Your routing platform configuration does not comply with
RFC 2378.
- VRRP clients can process gratuitous ARP.
- VRRP clients must not use packets other than ARP replies
to update their ARP cache.
