Hello, I have a problem with my VRRP-a configuration. Everything works fine, I dont have problem with the service but when I login into the ADC I see the VRRP-a status as unknown. Here’s some troubleshooting I have done: AX-vMaster[1/1]#sh vcs summary VCS Chassis:    VCS Enabled: Yes    Chassis ID: 1 ```auto    Floating IP: 10.20.10.102    Mask: 255.255.255.0    Multicast IP: 224.0.0.210 ``` Multicast Port: 41217    Version: 2.7.2-P12-SP3.b3    VCS Monitor Sync: DISABLE Members(\* means local device): ID State Priority IP:Port Location Sync-State ```auto --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 vMaster(\*) 200 10.20.10.103:41216 Local 2 vBlade 190 10.20.10.104:41216 Remote N/A Ax-1-vMaster[1/1]\#show vrrp-a ``` vrid 1 Unit State Weight Priority 1 (Local) Active 65534 200                 became Active at: Aug 31 10:13:52 2018                           for 0 Day, 3 Hour,24 min 2 (Peer) Standby 65534 200 \* vrid 2 Unit State Weight Priority 1 (Local) Active 65534 255                 became Active at: Aug 31 11:42:33 2018                           for 0 Day, 1 Hour,55 min ```auto 2 (Peer) Standby 65534 255 \* Running VRID(s): 1 2 ``` Here’s the configuration: ```auto vrrp-a device-id 1 vrrp-a set-id 2 ``` vcs enable vcs vMaster-id 2 vcs chassis-id 2 ```auto vcs floating-ip 10.20.10.105 /24 vcs multicast-ip 224.0.0.210 ``` vcs device 1 priority 200 interfaces management enable vcs device 2 priority 190 interfaces management enable ! vcs local-device 1 vrrp-a enable vrrp-a hostid\_append\_to\_vrid default vrrp-a vrid default    priority 200 device 1    priority 200 device 2 ! vrrp-a vrid 1    floating-ip 10.20.111.8    priority 200 device 1    priority 190 device 2    tracking-options       gateway 10.20.111.3 priority-cost 1 device 2 ! vrrp-a vrid 2    floating-ip 10.20.111.9    priority 255 device 1    priority 200 device 2    tracking-options       gateway 10.20.111.3 priority-cost 1 device 2 ! vrrp-a interface ethernet 3 device 1 vrrp-a interface ethernet 3 device 2 ```auto vrrp-a preferred-session-sync-port ethernet 3 vlan 4001 device 1 vrrp-a preferred-session-sync-port ethernet 3 vlan 4001 device 2 ``` !

Things look good to me. What do you mean “VRRP-a status as unknown”. I don’t see anything saying `unknown`
