Hi, This is a very common scenario when you want to have vrrp and state sync. In such scenario ClusterXL is only used for state synchronization.

I've never seen this configuration and I don't think is correct at all. Try using only vrrp. And verify if everything is working fine.

If we make a connection from the Standby member we see the connection getting out (SYN),the SourceMac is the LocalMac and SourceIP is the VIP from the member, and in the SmartTracker we see the ip of the standby member being Translated to the Cluster IP (VIP) by a implied rule, the connection is unsuccessful because the SYNACK will return to the VIP address and will be processed by the active member and so I cannot initiate any connection using the standby member, well this should be the normal behavior also. The problem is that, this behavior is not true on all interfaces of the standby member, in some interfaces the connection is initiated with SourceMAC=LocalMAC and SourceIP=LocaIP and in the SmartTracker we don't see the ip of the member being Translated to the Cluster IP (VIP) by a implied rule and of course with this behavior the tcp handshake is done and the connection is made. Can anyone tell which behavior to expect when initiating a connection from a standby member of a VRRPmc configuration regarding Source Mac address and source IP address used by the member? With the checkbox "Hide Cluster Members outgoing traffic behind the Cluster IP address" enable should not I expect the same behavior on all interfaces? Is there a configuration per interface? Thanks in advance.
