(Optional) Disabling VRRP TTL Check
Context
The system checks the TTL value in received VRRP Advertisement packets, and discards VRRP Advertisement packets with TTL values other than 255. On a network where devices of different vendors are deployed, if TTL check is enabled on the device, the device may incorrectly discard valid packets. In this case, disable TTL check so that devices of different vendors can communicate.
Procedure
- Run system-view
The system view is displayed.
- Run interface interface-type interface-number
The interface view is displayed.
- (Optional) On an Ethernet interface, run undo portswitch
The interface is switched to Layer 3 mode.
By default, an Ethernet interface works in Layer 2 mode.
Only the S5720-EI, S5720-HI, S5730-HI, S5731-H, S5731-S, S5731S-H, S5731S-S, S5732-H, S6720-EI, S6720-HI, S6720S-EI, S6730-H, S6730S-H, S6730-S, and S6730S-S support switching between Layer 2 and Layer 3 modes.
- Run vrrp un-check ttl
The device is configured not to check the TTL value in VRRP Advertisement packets.
By default, the system checks the TTL value in VRRP Advertisement packets.
