Hi Cristian,

I tried to reproduce the issue by reverting the configuration, but it 
didn't occur. It's still unclear to me why only v4 was affected and v6 
was not. Furthermore, in stable state (which it was in my case) vrrp 
backup is silent so no mac move events can happen and I confirmed it 
with vrrp statistics that I collected before disabling VRRP, backup 
router wasn't sending anything.
After re-activating the interface on backup router I also didn't see any 
vrrp packet sent from it. Eventually I ended up with configuring 
exception for VRRP MACs and will watch how it goes:

Kind regards,
Andrey
