[c-nsp] VRRP/HSRP question

[Andris Zarins]

Question was if there is some connection between VRRP and routing
protocol processes (can routing process do some actions if VRRP status
changes). As I understand - this is not possible and that's OK because i
have a workaround already.

What doesn't work for you in that setup?

You should be fine (in terms of generic moving of packets) to send
traffic
towards the HSRP'd subnet from the backup device and have traffic from
the
subnet go back out via a different primary device.
