VRRP object tracking in non-default VRF

Question

I am trying to configure a VRRP instance in a non-default VRF that tracks the status of an interface on a Dell S5232F (OS10 version 10.5.4.5). The configuration is as follows:Switch A: interface vlan199 no shutdown ip vrf forwarding blue ip address 10.10.10.251/29 ! vrrp-group 2 priority 150 track 201 priority-cost 100 virtual-address 10.10.10.249 advertise-interval secs 5 ! track 201 interface ethernet1/1/34 line-protocol Switch B: interface vlan 199 no shutdown ip vrf forwarding blue ip address 10.10.10.250/29 ! vrrp-group 2 priority 200 track 201 priority-cost 100 virtual-address 10.10.10.249 advertise-interval secs 5 ! track 201 interface ethernet1/1/34 line-protocol​ In this setup Switch B is the primary and Switch A the secondary. When the tracked object is down on the primary switch, the virtual IP should be moved to the secondary. However, the tracking part does not seem to be working. Here is the VRRP status from the two switches.Switch A: SwitchA# show vrrp vrf blue 2 Interface : vlan199 IPv4 VRID : 2 Version : 2 State : backup-state Primary IP : 10.10.10.249 Master IP : 10.10.10.250 Virtual MAC : 00:00:5e:00:01:02 Accept Mode : true Admin Priority : 150 Operational Priority : 150 Advertise Interval(in secs) : 5 Preempt Status : true Hold Time : 0 Virtual IP address : 10.10.10.249 master-transitions : 5 advertise-rcvd : 14469 advertise-interval-errors : 0 ip-ttl-errors : 0 priority-zero-pkts-rcvd : 0 priority-zero-pkts-sent : 1 invalid-type-pkts-rcvd : 0 address-list-errors : 0 pkt-length-errors : 0 omit-skew-time : no Tracking states for resource Ids: 201 - Up Interface, ethernet1/1/34, priority-cost 100 Switch B: SwitchB# show vrrp vrf blue 2 Interface : vlan199 IPv4 VRID : 2 Version : 2 State : master-state Primary IP : 10.10.10.249 Master IP : 10.10.10.250 Virtual MAC : 00:00:5e:00:01:02 Accept Mode : true Admin Priority : 200 Operational Priority : 200 Advertise Interval(in secs) : 5 Preempt Status : true Hold Time : 0 Virtual IP address : 10.10.10.249 master-transitions : 1 advertise-rcvd : 3 advertise-interval-errors : 0 ip-ttl-errors : 0 priority-zero-pkts-rcvd : 0 priority-zero-pkts-sent : 0 invalid-type-pkts-rcvd : 0 address-list-errors : 0 pkt-length-errors : 0 omit-skew-time : no Tracking states for resource Ids: 201 - Down Interface, ethernet1/1/34, priority-cost 100 On Switch B the tracked interface is down, so the cost should be subtracted from the priority and the 'Operational Priority' should be 100, which should force a new master election, but I cannot get this to work.I tried making the same setup with a vlan in the default VRF and in that case everything seems to be working perfectly. Am I missing something or is this a bug?

Hello mrlhansen,

You can configure a VRRP group in a non-default VRF instance and assign a virtual address to this group.
