ping: sendto: Host is down on vrrp IP.

[sam wun]

Hi list,

I don't know what is wrong with the freevrrp setup in my FreeBSD 5.4.
After setup and started freevrrpd, I tried to ping both interfaces in localhost, only one interface appeared responsed to the icmp echo request packets, the interface associated with ip 192.168.1.1 is down; while 192.168.4.1 is fine. Both IP addresses are assigned by freevrrpd daemon.

# ping 192.168.1.1
PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: Host is down
^C

Can anyone please help?

Thanks
