I'm trying to setup a redundant route link for our internal network using brocade layer 3 switches. I have setup up VRRP on both the green/blue and red/black networks. The reason for doing this is to simulate an active passive pairing.
I thought about it and noticed one issue. If the red connection fails VRRP will work and switch over to the black network but the green network doesn't know this fail over occurred and could be the default path for network traffic.
I'm not sure what things I could do to prevent this issue from occurring. Is there a better way to implement them being an active passive pair?
The simple diagram of how the network is setup.
