[c-nsp] Does NCS behave like Nexus w/regard to vPC+VRRP active/active?

[David Hubbard]

Thanks all, yep, discovered no vpc commands lol.  I’ve gone ahead with mc-lag, relevant BD’s and added BVI’s for the router interfaces.  Now I need to deploy a first hop redundancy option.

In an mc-lag solution, do you know if these devices will work similar to HSRP/VRRP in a Nexus+vPC setup where, regardless of a device being the ‘standby’ first hop from a control plane perspective, they’ll still forward on the data plane rather than having to send them across the inter-device link to the active first hop for forwarding?

Thanks!

    Yup, using proprietary common brain was deemed as not an optimal solution to
    the problem, hence why routers are rather using MC-LAG (multichassis LACP)
    instead.
