Cluster VIP MAC address

Gabriel_Support — Thu, 14 Mar 2019 17:55:10 GMT

Is there a way from the command line to find the cluster VIP MAC address?

I ran "arp -a" and I don't see it in there.

Thanks in advance.

Does SK31499 help you out?

The short answer with the command is for ClusterXL:

cphaprob -a if

For VRRP:

show vrrp interfaces

cphaprob -a if doesn't show the virtual MAC for me, it only lists the interfaces with IP addresses

Thanks

Have you enabled Virtual MAC in the cluster object?

We are using Multicast so I assume it is enabled?

Nope, the setting for multicast, broadcast or Uni-cast has nothing to do with the usage of a Virtual mac, that is a setting in the Smartconsole on the Cluster object.
