    Hi Kelvin,

     

    It's a good news that the failover problem resolved.:smileyhappy:

     

    Let's carry on the VRRP scenario.

     

    I have checked the  maintenance file just you sent to us.

     

    1) Congratulation!The  address (192.168.100.2 ) is the virtual IP address of VRRP on Firewall.

    Because this IP have same prefix mac-address header just like (00:00:5E:00:xx:xx).

    It's the standard of VRRP for mac-address behavior.

     

    2) Good finding! The "Link state detection” is very useful for VRRP status.

    So we need to set the IP for heartbeat on each Firewall that could monitor VRRP all the time.

    But 192.168.100.1 is not the heartbeat address for Firewall that is VLAN interface on M4300-Stack.

    So Could you set an IP address on Firewall A and B that is not VRRP protocol.

    Such as:

    192.168.100.10 /24 on Firewall A.

    192.168.100.20 /24 on Firewall B.

    Then,

    Set Link state detection IP address to 192.168.100.20 on Firewall A.

    Set Link state detection IP address to 192.168.100.10 on Firewall B.

    That will make Firewall detect each other with this configuration.

     

    3) Could you share me the configuration page or command on your Firewall about LAG/Port/IP address/VRRP configuration?

    The private message is RECOMMENDED.

     

    I'm not very professional on Firewall of other company.

    Just want to help analyze.:smileyhappy:

     

    Look forward to your reply.

     

    Regards,

    Daniel.
