Solved!
Go to SolutionVRRP question please
Dear All,
Sorry for a silly question.
Currently I am configuring VLAN for S4128, according to Dell's best practice, I should configure VRRP as well.
Here is the table
| Purpose | VLAN | SW01 | SW02 | VRRP |
| ESXi Management | 192 | 192.168.3.251 / 24 | 192.168.3.252 / 24 | ?? |
In vMware environment
| Purpose | VLAN | HOST1 | HOST2 | GATEWAY |
| ESXi Management | 192 | 192.168.3.18 | 192.168.3.19 | 192.168.3.1 |
My question is that:
Host1 and Host2 are registered in DNS with the gateway 192.168.3.1 and FQDN (host1.mydomain.com, host2.mydomain.com)
what is the VRRP I should enter? or I should get different IP for VRRP e.g 192.168.3.253? it should not matter to the real gateway 192.168.3.1, shouldn't it?
Any help/ advice would be much appreciated.
Regards
Thank you Marco for the help.
In our private network we are using subnet 192.168.3.0 /24, Gateway: 192.168.3.1, Host1 and Host2 are configured as follows:
Host1
IP (Static): 192.168.3.18, Gateway: 192.168.3.1, DNS: 192.168.3.120, FQDN: host1.mydomain.com.
Host2:
IP (Static): 192.168.3.19, Gateway: 192.168.3.1, DNS: 192.168.3.120, FQDN: host2.mydoman.comI was concerned if I used different IP for VRRP, would they (hosts and SAN) be able to "talk"?
As you mentioned it needs to be unique, I'll give it a try.
Thanks again.
Regards
Are you able to tell us what the device the gateway is in the above scenario? What is the topology? We have two S4148F switches. There is then a VRRP group with a virtual address. This means if one core switch goes down downtime is limited as it knows to send it to the master address (core switch 2)

Hello,
not sure what you mean, the virtual router group address need to be unique, so you have to assign a different IP for VRRP.
Thanks
