Thanks Matt.  It is a good method.  
Based on the old version,  i use the command "set int ip address"  to add  the 
virtual address  when accept mode is enabled and vr is unicast as workaround. 

Eg: 
set int ip address GigabitEthernet0/14/0 10.10.10.10/24
set int ip address GigabitEthernet0/14/0 10.10.10.15/24
set int state GigabitEthernet0/14/0 up

vrrp vr add  GigabitEthernet0/14/0 vr_id 1 priority 250 accept_mode 10.10.10.15 
unicast
vrrp peers  GigabitEthernet0/14/0 vr_id 1 10.10.10.5

Hi Guangming,

I merged https://gerrit.fd.io/r/c/vpp/+/34768. It allows the virtual address to 
be added when accept mode is enabled on a VR which sends unicast advertisements.

Thanks,

Hi,Matt
    Thanks for your detail reply.  Maybe I was wrong about VRRP in VPP.
    My expected behavior is that the master and backup  have a virtual  ip and 
virtual  mac. The virtual ip and mac are  used to connected with the other 
device. 
They are removed when device switch to backup and are  added when switch to 
master. Or they are always exist on the two device, but only the mater device 
can send and 
recieve the packet  which destination ip address  is the virtual ip.  

     The reason is  i want to use unicast is remote  disaster recovey scenario 
, not only cloud. The other is reduce the multicast packet in LAN. 

     From  the code , I think the device may drop the packet which dst address 
is virtual,  because the virtual ip is not the second address of the interface 
with your proposal configure. My vpp version is 2110.1
 Now my test environment is not ready because  our lab is removal. I will 
verify your configure  when test environment is ready . 

     I aslo found the other issue about VRRP.  One is the source ethenet  
address in  gratuitous ARP  is not the virtual MAC, so the the virtaul MAC in 
switch is unkonwn unicast . 
The other is the  MAC is not same that master device used when it handle the 
send and recieve packet. One is virtual MAC , the other is real MAC.  I think  
both are virtual mac is more 
friendly to peer device.



Thanks
Guangming

Hi Guangming,

I think the signaling between unicast peers should work if you do something 
like this:

device A:
set int ip address GigabitEthernet0/14/0 10.10.10.10/24
set int state GigabitEthernet0/14/0 up
vrrp vr add GigabitEthernet0/14/0 vr_id 1 priority 250 10.10.10.15 unicast vrrp 
peers GigabitEthernet0/14/0 vr_id 1 10.10.10.5
vrrp proto start GigabitEthernet0/14/0 vr_id 1

device B:
set int ip address GigabitEthernet0/14/0 10.10.10.5/24
set int state GigabitEthernet0/14/0 up
vrrp vr add GigabitEthernet0/14/0 vr_id 1 priority 200 10.10.10.15 unicast
vrrp peers GigabitEthernet0/14/0 vr_id 1 10.10.10.10 
vrrp proto start GigabitEthernet0/14/0 vr_id 1 

That ought to cause your two instances to elect device A as the master. It 
should send advertisements to device B while it's up. It should also reply to 
ARP requests for 10.10.10.15 if it receives them, but it will reply with a VRRP 
virtual MAC address, which may not be the correct behavior for a unicast 
scenario. I originally added the capability to send unicast advertisements 
because I thought it may be useful for cloud environments which do not support 
multicast (AWS, Azure). But replying to an ARP request with a VRRP virtual MAC 
address may not be valid for cloud environments. Or it might not matter because 
the ARP request may be handled by infrastructure in those cloud environments 
and never actually delivered to the VM where VPP runs, I'm not sure. 

Your original commands enabled accept mode on each VR and added the VR virtual 
IP address (10.10.10.10/24) on the interface where the VR was being configured. 
In general, when you use accept mode, you don't need to configure the VR 
virtual IP address on the interface. You should only configure the virtual IP 
address on an interface of a VR that has priority 255 (the "owner" of the 
virtual IP address). On VR's with priority lower than 255, the address will 
automatically be added when the VR transitions into the master state and 
removed when it transitions from master to backup.  I don't recall whether 
enabling accept mode does anything if you're using unicast advertisements. As I 
mentioned, the functionality was intended for cloud environments and in those 
environments, it does not work to just add an IP address on an interface, there 
needs to be some outside action taken (use AWS/Azure API to remove address from 
one host/interface and add it on another).

I have not tried to use unicast VRRP in production and I have not received any 
questions about it from users before, so YMMV. If you find something specific 
that is not working as expected, please let me know.

Thanks,
-Matt

Hi Matthew
I want to use two device that runing VPP as HA cluster. I found the vrrp cli 
support unicast mode.
Can you give me a right vrrp unicast example ? 
 
My configure is as follow, 
device A :
set int ip address GigabitEthernet0/14/0 10.10.10.10/24
set int ip address GigabitEthernet0/14/0 10.10.10.15/24
set int state GigabitEthernet0/14/0 up

vrrp vr add GigabitEthernet0/14/0 vr_id 1 priority 250 accept_mode 10.10.10.15 
unicast vrrp peers GigabitEthernet0/14/0 vr_id 1 10.10.10.5 vrrp proto start 
GigabitEthernet0/14/0 vr_id 1 

device B:
set int ip address GigabitEthernet0/14/0 10.10.10.5/24
set int ip address GigabitEthernet0/14/0 10.10.10.15/24
set int state GigabitEthernet0/14/0 up

vrrp vr add GigabitEthernet0/14/0 vr_id 1 priority 200 accept_mode 10.10.10.15 
unicast vrrp peers GigabitEthernet0/14/0 vr_id 1 10.10.10.10 vrrp proto start 
GigabitEthernet0/14/0 vr_id 1 


Thanks 
Guangming
