Patch 86222-22 For Rapier Switches and AR800 Series Modular Switching Routers 9 PCR: 02263 Module: VRRP Network affecting: No The virtual MAC address was used as the source MAC for all packets forwarded on an interface associated with a Virtual Router (VR). This was confusing when multiple VRs were defined over the same interface because only one virtual MAC address was ever used.

10 Patch Release Note PCR: 02304 Module: VRRP Network affecting: No VRRP used the wrong source IP address in ICMP redirects. RFC 2338 states that the source IP address of ICMP redirects should be the IP address that the end host used when making its next hop routing decision. In the case of a packet sent to a VRRP virtual MAC address, this is the primary VRRP IP address associated with the MAC address, provided such a VR exists and is in the master state. This issue has been resolved. PCR:
