I thought HA monitor was supposed to handle this kind of failover!

Route monitor could also be a solution, right?

Wait, are we sure INC mode won't mess things up?

Definitely agree, that should help with ARP issues.

I vaguely remember that if the router isn't updating its ARP, it could be a problem with how the MAC addresses are handled. I think Virtual MAC could be the answer, but I’m not entirely sure.

I’m a bit confused about the difference between HA monitor and Route monitor. I feel like one of them might help with the ARP table issue, but I can’t recall which one.

I think we discussed using Virtual MAC to help with failover scenarios. It might be the right choice here since it can help the router recognize the active node.

I remember something about ARP issues in our practice sessions, but I’m not sure if it was related to INC mode or Virtual MAC.

I'm leaning towards the Virtual MAC option. That should help ensure the upstream router has the correct MAC address to forward traffic to the active Citrix ADC.

I'm a bit confused on this one. The HA monitor or route monitor options don't seem directly relevant to the problem described. I'll have to review the concepts again.

Okay, let's see. Independent Network Configuration mode could be a good solution, but I'm not totally sure how that would resolve the ARP table issue.

Hmm, the upstream router not updating its ARP table is the key issue here. I think the Virtual MAC option might be the way to go.

I believe Virtual MAC could also be configured to resolve the issue by assigning a unique MAC address to the HA pair.

I'm not sure about the correct answer, but I heard that the administrator could also try turning the router off and on again. That usually fixes everything, right?

I agree with Cherrie, Route monitor can help resolve the issue by checking the status of the routes.

The administrator should configure the Virtual MAC option to resolve the ARP table issue. This will ensure that the MAC address remains the same during failover, allowing the upstream router to update its ARP table accordingly.
