Package: vrrpd
Version: 1.0-1
Severity: normal
This is not common, but I have observed it happening on a few occasions
now. When preemption is enabled and the primary router reappears on the
network the secondary releases its IP address correctly, but fails to
update the MAC. As a result the network ends up with two systems with
the same MAC address (but different IPs) which causes total mayhem.
I have so far observed this on .1q interfaces on Intel 1G adapters
(e1000) and it is likely to be specific to the hardware/network driver.
When releasing the IP address and switching back to its normal MAC vrrpd
should reread the MAC address and see if the change has been successful
and if necessary retry until the MAC address change succeeds.
