[Keepalived-devel] VRRP question, Please help

[cliffton <cli...@ya...>]

Hello everyone,

I really need someone's help.

I have a connection question:

when1/when2, whoe1/whoe2 are gateways with VRRP protocol,

 

in normal connection, the path are connected like following diagram1:. 

when1--+----whoe2

       |

when2--+----whoe2

 

Can I use 2 independent path to share one (or more) virtual IP address?
Please refer to the following 

Diagram2:

 

when1-------whoe1

when2-------whoe2

 

The above diagram2 uses 2 independent path to share one (or more) virtual IP
address, I think it is wrong, It should be one single data path (diagram1)
instead of 2 independent path(diagram2). If I am wrong please correct me.

Thanks in advance.

Any help will be much appreciated.

 

Clifford
