VRRP object tracking in non-default VRF
I am trying to configure a VRRP instance in a non-default VRF that tracks the status of an interface on a Dell S5232F (OS10 version 10.5.4.5). The configuration is as follows:
Switch A:
interface vlan199
no shutdown
ip vrf forwarding blue
ip address 10.10.10.251/29
!
vrrp-group 2
priority 150
track 201 priority-cost 100
virtual-address 10.10.10.249
advertise-interval secs 5
!
track 201
interface ethernet1/1/34 line-protocol
Switch B:
interface vlan 199
no shutdown
ip vrf forwarding blue
ip address 10.10.10.250/29
!
vrrp-group 2
priority 200
track 201 priority-cost 100
virtual-address 10.10.10.249
advertise-interval secs 5
!
track 201
interface ethernet1/1/34 line-protocol
In this setup Switch B is the primary and Switch A the secondary. When the tracked object is down on the primary switch, the virtual IP should be moved to the secondary. However, the tracking part does not seem to be working. Here is the VRRP status from the two switches.
Switch A:
SwitchA# show vrrp vrf blue 2
Interface : vlan199 IPv4 VRID : 2
Version : 2 State : backup-state
Primary IP : 10.10.10.249 Master IP : 10.10.10.250
Virtual MAC : 00:00:5e:00:01:02 Accept Mode : true
Admin Priority : 150 Operational Priority : 150
Advertise Interval(in secs) : 5
Preempt Status : true Hold Time : 0
Virtual IP address :
10.10.10.249
master-transitions : 5 advertise-rcvd : 14469
advertise-interval-errors : 0 ip-ttl-errors : 0
priority-zero-pkts-rcvd : 0 priority-zero-pkts-sent : 1
invalid-type-pkts-rcvd : 0 address-list-errors : 0
pkt-length-errors : 0
omit-skew-time : no
Tracking states for resource Ids:
201 - Up Interface, ethernet1/1/34, priority-cost 100
Switch B:
SwitchB# show vrrp vrf blue 2
Interface : vlan199 IPv4 VRID : 2
Version : 2 State : master-state
Primary IP : 10.10.10.249 Master IP : 10.10.10.250
Virtual MAC : 00:00:5e:00:01:02 Accept Mode : true
Admin Priority : 200 Operational Priority : 200
Advertise Interval(in secs) : 5
Preempt Status : true Hold Time : 0
Virtual IP address :
10.10.10.249
master-transitions : 1 advertise-rcvd : 3
advertise-interval-errors : 0 ip-ttl-errors : 0
priority-zero-pkts-rcvd : 0 priority-zero-pkts-sent : 0
invalid-type-pkts-rcvd : 0 address-list-errors : 0
pkt-length-errors : 0
omit-skew-time : no
Tracking states for resource Ids:
201 - Down Interface, ethernet1/1/34, priority-cost 100
On Switch B the tracked interface is down, so the cost should be subtracted from the priority and the "Operational Priority" should be 100, which should force a new master election, but I cannot get this to work.
I tried making the same setup with a vlan in the default VRF and in that case everything seems to be working perfectly. Am I missing something or is this a bug?

Hello mrlhansen,
You can configure a VRRP group in a non-default VRF instance and assign a virtual address to this group.

Please note we are unable assist directly in the making of new configurations, but we do have professional services which can help you to deploy the configuration you need. You may consider contacting Dell Sales department for a professional deployment if needed. I hope the resources I am able to supply will be helpful for you.
