Hi Suresh,

 

I am assuming you have a full-mesh between the Juniper routers and the Active/Standby Viprions. I have the same setup (no floating self-IPs). Are the routers able to detect which is the active unit and which one is the standby. When we used eBGP, the Junipers would still point to standby unit as the next-hop (when a failover occurred) to reach an internal host. Is there a way in BGP that lets the routers detect the active unit and change their next-hop accordingly in the event of a failover? Any help appreciated. Thanks!
