Multiple masters appear in a VRRP group

Symptom

Multiple masters appear in a VRRP group.

Analysis

It is normal for a VRRP group to have multiple masters for a short time, and this situation requires no

manual intervention.
If multiple masters coexist for a longer period, it might be because the masters cannot receive

advertisements from each other, or because the received advertisements are illegitimate.

Solution

Ping between these masters, and do the following checks:

If the ping fails, examine network connectivity.

If the ping succeeds, check for configuration inconsistencies in the number of virtual IP addresses,
virtual IP addresses, and authentication. For IPv4 VRRP, also make sure a consistent version of VRRP

is configured on all routers in the VRRP group. For VRRPv2, make sure consistent VRRP
advertisement interval is configured on the routers in the VRRP group.
