Velocloud Virtual Edge HA in Alibaba Cloud with HaVip

Secondary IP address at the VCE

The remaining question is, since the VCE is not actually running VRRP, it has no idea or no configuration for the HaVip (floating IP) 10.200.202.9. The trick here is to add a secondary IP 10.200.202.9 at both primary and secondary VCE. Although this is supposed to cause IP address conflict, the secondary VCE LAN interface is shutdown so IP address conflict will not happen. And the following screen capture shows the corresponding secondary IP address configuration.

Figure 13 – Secondary IP 10.200.202.9 added as GE2:1:SIP on Ali-HKVCE-Sec

The following is the screen capture of the result of ifconfig at the Ali-HKVCE-Pri, the secondary IP 10.200.202.9 is at the interface eth1:5000
