Hi Rhys,
Has anyone had much experience with using Vrrp on a Mikrotik?
I use Juniper gear, so apologies if I’m overlooking some Mikrotik-specific VRRP
extensions, etc…
It seemed pretty easy to setup but the manual said the floating IP must be a
/32 and to put an IP on the physical interface
I believe it has to do with ARP and how the mikrotik manages duplicates
etc across the network when using VRRP - but I could be wrong.
Switching between the 2 though could be due to priorities and/or
preemption mode - would need to see your config or a debug level log
when its happening to
What I've found works nicely though is to use VRRPv3 instead, with the V3
protocol set to IPv6 - then it uses the link local addresses to communicate
on, and doesn't even want IP's on the parent interfaces. I then shove my
/24's, /27's etc on the VRRP interfaces and they just work. :)

This seemed wrong so I just put a /24 on the Vrrp interface and a completely
