VRRP : Error when adding New Virtual Server

Symptoms

When configuration a new VRID under the VRRP configuration pager is returning an error "error per-interface MC-VRRP configuration is present please remove the per interface MC_VRP configuration before using simple MC-VRRP configuration". A new VRID can not be added due to this error.

Solution

This error occurs when old VRRP setting are not fully removed. To correct this issue you will need to manually remove the old configurations from command line. The steps are outline as followed.

1. Determine the old VRRP setting

ip260[admin]# dbget -rv ipsrd:instance:default:vrrp:interface

This will produce an output of the current VRRP setting.

nokia[admin]# dbget -rv ipsrd:instance:default:vrrp:interface

ipsrd:instance:default:vrrp:interface:eth1c0 t

ipsrd:instance:default:vrrp:interface:eth1c0:mode monitoredcircuit

ipsrd:instance:default:vrrp:interface:eth1c0:virtualrouter:123 t

ipsrd:instance:default:vrrp:interface:eth1c0:virtualrouter:123:address:addr:10.207.143.113 t

ipsrd:instance:default:vrrp:interface:eth1c0:virtualrouter:123:advertiseinterval 1

ipsrd:instance:default:vrrp:interface:eth1c0:virtualrouter:123:monitor:monif:eth2c0 t

ipsrd:instance:default:vrrp:interface:eth1c0:virtualrouter:123:monitor:monif:eth2c0:priority 10

ipsrd:instance:default:vrrp:interface:eth1c0:virtualrouter:123:priority 100

2. Copy the line that indicates "mode".

nokia[admin]# dbget -rv ipsrd:instance:default:vrrp:interface

ipsrd:instance:default:vrrp:interface:eth1c0 t

ipsrd:instance:default:vrrp:interface:eth1c0:mode monitoredcircuit

ipsrd:instance:default:vrrp:interface:eth1c0:virtualrouter:123 t

ipsrd:instance:default:vrrp:interface:eth1c0:virtualrouter:123:address:addr:10.207.143.113 t

ipsrd:instance:default:vrrp:interface:eth1c0:virtualrouter:123:advertiseinterval 1

ipsrd:instance:default:vrrp:interface:eth1c0:virtualrouter:123:monitor:monif:eth2c0 t

ipsrd:instance:default:vrrp:interface:eth1c0:virtualrouter:123:monitor:monif:eth2c0:priority 10

ipsrd:instance:default:vrrp:interface:eth1c0:virtualrouter:123:priority 100

3. Issue the command:

nokia[admin]# dbset ipsrd:instance:default:vrrp:interface:eth1c0:mode

This command turns the mode from monitoredcircuit to none. You will do this to all the interface you would like to disable VRRP



4. Issue the command

nokia[admin]# dbset save

This command will save the configuration
