Makes sense to me.  You wouldn't want clients discovering the real IP
address of any machines in a VRRP configuration, as this would negate the
failover benefits of VRRP (same as Cisco HSRP, as mentioned below).

Someone stop me if this thinking is incorrect.

Don't know about IPSO, but given the similarity between VRRP and HSRP, this
may be a factor.  On Cisco's the activation of HSRP automatically disables
the ICMP redirect messages that the router would generate.  Maybe the same
applies?

Subject:  [FW1] IPSO 3.2 and IP Redirects



If I have a local segment, 192.168.12.xxx/24, and in that segment I have
another router (192.168.12.1

Local Segment:  192.168.12.0/24

Default Gateway: 192.168.12.2 (VRRP from 2 x IP440)

Static Route in the IP440:  172.21.0.0/16 192.168.12.1 (router to other
segment)

When traffic goes from 192.168.12.xxx via 192.168.12.2 destined for
172.21.x.x, shouldn't the IPSO issue an IP redirect for the correct route?
I'm not seeing this when I sniff this scenario.

Any thoughts?  Suggestions?
