Description

I am trining setup simple HA configuration in GNS3.

Vrrp working but i am no able to assign sync-grup for conntrack. I dont know if its bug or i am doing something wrong.

@dmbaturin I believe you forgot to create the Sync-Group. The following configuration is working, and it is really nice to see how this got created during migration from Vyos 1.1.8, and to finally have IPv6 in the VRRP configuration.

vrrp {
     group eth0-231 {
         advertise-interval 1
         interface eth0
         priority 120
         virtual-address ipv4-address
         vrid 231
     }
     group eth0-231-v6 {
         advertise-interval 1
         interface eth0
         priority 120
         virtual-address ipv6-address
         vrid 232
     }
     group eth1-231 {
         advertise-interval 1
         interface eth1
         priority 120
         virtual-address 10.0.231.1/32
         vrid 231
     }
     group eth1-231-v6 {
         advertise-interval 1
         interface eth1
         priority 120
         virtual-address fd00:10:0:231::1/64
         vrid 232
     }
     sync-group SyncGroup {
         member eth0-231
         member eth1-231
         member eth0-231-v6
         member eth1-231-v6
     }
}
service {
   conntrack-sync {
     event-listen-queue-size 8
     failover-mechanism {
         vrrp {
             sync-group SyncGroup
         }
     }
     interface eth1 {
     }
     mcast-group 225.0.0.50
     sync-queue-size 1
   }
}

Yes, seems it's just forgotten sync-group. A sync-group is required for it to work, in the current implementation. The error message is confusing and bug-like though, as of me.

I've modified it to be more clear:

vyos@vyos-test-1# show service conntrack-sync 
+failover-mechanism {
+    vrrp {
+        sync-group Bar
+    }
+}
+interface eth1 {
+}

dmbaturin renamed this task from Cannot assign sync-grup under conntrack over vrrp to Confusing commit error message for non-existent VRRP sync-groups used in conntrack sync.Dec 31 2018, 7:26 AM

Thanks, my mistake. Now it works
