Usage Guidelines

VRRPv3 supports Accept Mode which controls whether a virtual router in Master state will accept packets addressed to the virtual IPvX address of a VRRP group if it is not the IP address owner (the IP address owner is the router that has the interface whose actual IP address is used as the virtual router’s IP address).

...

NOTE:

  •   Accept Mode is only supported in VRRPv3 while VRRPv2 does NOT support. In VRRPv2, the master switch always accepts packets addressed to the virtual IPvX address.
  • When Accept Mode is disabled, PICOS can still accept and process IPv6 Neighbor Solicitations / Neighbor Advertisements packets and ARP Request / ARP Reply packets.
  •   If the master is the IP address owner, it accepts all the packets addressed to the IPvX address(es) associated with the virtual router even though Accept Mode is disabled.

...


Example

  •  Enable the accept mode of the device in VRRP group 2.
