VARP ( 10297 ) : [ Recieved ] VARP_PRIME [ 154.45.7.2 , 7 ] VARP ( 10297 ) : [ Added ] varp entry [ 154.45.7.2 , 7 ] VARP ( 10297 ) : [ SENDING ] VARP_PRIME_RESPONSE [ 154.45.7.1 , 7 ] VRIP ( 10566 ) : Addded VRIP Entry [154.45.7.2 , 154.45.7.2 , 1 ]
The following is the interpretation of the output :
When the GW 6-7 joins the network the VARP module will send VARP packet to
publish the local interface hardware addresses (precisely the interface
154.45.7.2 ). After that, the GW 7-8 will receive this packet through the interface
154.45.7.1 ( because it is connected to the same link) and a new VARP entriy is
added as well as a direct route to the interface 154.45.7.2 ( with metric =1 ),
this is visible by examining the VRIP output.
The next steps will be starting the three hosts H_8, H_7 and H_6.
After staring all the network entities, In the following section we can see
these entities settings after the network stabilisation.
