VRRP "uninitialized value in printf" on show vrrp interface
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Use of uninitialized value in printf at /opt/vyatta/share/perl5/Vyatta/VRRP/OPMode.pm line 249.

Just set up VRRP on a fresh 1.1.7 install and doing "show vrrp detail" gives me the followign warning and the output seems to be the same as "show vrrp interface eth0"

simon@rtr-b:~$ show vrrp detail

Hello, @tsumaru720, can you reproduce it on other system?
Can you post configs?
Thanks

Hi @syncer

I sadly only have the one VRRP pair and the other side of this router is an Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite running Edge OS (Which doesnt have this problem) :)

Config is attached - I've pruned some info (names and such) - Its a fairly basic setup{F1460}

I should add that this is a VM that does indeed only have a single interface - Its sole purpose is to sit waiting for my main router to die and if it does, assume the shared IP so it can forward things off to a different router (In the same subnet, but not in a position to run VRRP, hence this VM) :)

Ok, basicly the /tmp/keepalived.data format changed. There's no more OPMode.pm#250 in the output and it was replaced by 'Router ID: <n>' which could be used to do find_sync a bit cleaner. It could be in certain cases the multicast source IP is printed out but I'd have to check Keepalived sources to be sure. I could write it that it probes for a value and upon failure won't print out the Source IP or just remove that part all together. Any preferences: TL;DR: implement safer fail-back legacy behavior or YOLO it?

Commited into current, separate patch available for 117 users if needed be.

This fix didn't seem to make it into 1.1.8 - was it supposed to?
