  • 1.  Unknown Direct Connected route on UDLR

    Posted Nov 30, 2018 08:28 AM

    Hello,

    I am working with routing between UDLR and ESGs (NSX 6.4.3), I noticed an unknown route record as following:

    Show IP route:  shown all connected and dynamic routes, but the weird is the below route:

    Noting that UDLR has the following interfaces only:

    Show IP address: shown an vNIC with the following subnet:

    Can you advise about the role and the reason of this vNIC ? is it normal ?

    Thanks in advance,

    IP address start with 169.x.x.x is link local address and used for HA communication between EDGE/DLR HA internal link .

    You can ignore it for now.

    I believe the output above was taken from a DLR deployed with HA enabled, and the HA interface is assigned an IP address. This appears as two IP addresses, 169.254.1.1/30 (auto-assigned for HA).
