Problems with VRRP interface tracking on M4300-28G
Dear community,
I am trying to set up VRRP on two M4100-28G with latest firmware 12.0.7.7.
I have set up 3 IP based VLAN networks and I am trying to run VRRP in all directions.
There is no prob...

Firmware is upgraded and I did have proper access to the switch. I just prefer the web GUI instead of CLI. Unfortunately what you suggested isn't working. I kepp getting the same error.
However my colleagues manage to fihish with this problem. The just create another vlan which includes the interface we want to track. Thus one and the same interface is part of two vlans. After this in vvrp tracking they include the vlan which include only the interface we care about and the magic happens.
I would like to close this post as solved!

Hi vesso,
Welcome to our community! :)
It seems that you only configured the VRRP on the VLAN interface whose members are port 23 and 24. You can actually configure VRRP on either the interface VLAN / Port (e.g. 1/0/1). In order for you to see the port itself on the VRRP tracking. You need to configure the port for VRRP.
Here is the reference manual (page 160).
If ever your concern has been addressed or resolved, I encourage you to mark the appropriate reply as the “Accepted Solution” so others can be confident in benefiting from the solution. The NETGEAR Community looks forward to hearing from you and being a helpful resource in the future!

HI,
I have tried your solution using the web interface, because I am not able to get CLI access right now.
Unfortunately I got error when I have tried to use the interface instead of vlan when the vrrp is created.
What else can I try?

The manual that I provided also includes the setup for the admin page(GUI). Please make sure that your PC is part of the management VLAN.

Thank you for the reply!
Can you please explain me what do you mean when you say that my pc should be on the management VLAN?
I followed exactly the manual that you provided. Plus the hole vrrp setup is quit easy and I got yur point right away. I am did not follow only one of the recomendations that one of the routers must have the same IP address as the Virtual IP address.
Could this be the reason?
While we our discussion is going I saw that there is alredy firmware with number 12.0.7.8 will it make any diference if I switch to it?

Switch has a default management VLAN 1. If the management VLAN is changed, then you should connect the PC where the management VLAN is. If you haven't change anything related to management VLAN, then you may connect your PC to any port that is under VLAN 1. You may also upgrade the firmware of the switch so that we may know if it's a kind of bug or something.
Regards,
