Hi Paul,

The Device are not routers but Nokia firewall.

In fact my seedile look like this

% VRRP for zone A
% VRRP for ZONE B
% VRRP for ZONE C
@IP for FW1 zone A (my management address)
@IP for FW2 zone B (my management address)

The kind of problem is for example:

The VRRP address for zone C is not discovered on my FW1 neither on my FW2 .
The command ovtopodump | grep @VRRP (for all the zone) return no lines.
 But from time to time the VRRP addresses appear on other devices. But as
soon as netview discovered that the address does not belong to this device
netmon delete the interface and my node goes down.






Cordialement.

This sounds like a duplicate IP address problem, are you discovering
the device via the VRRP interface, if so, I would suggest using the
loopback address of the router for discovery.
