how many vrrp X770 support

how many vrrp X770 support

I've created 7 vrid for 7 vlans and failed to create the 8th vrid for the 8th vlan.
it showed:Error: Max number of virtual MACs reached, cannot use vrid 8 to create another.
Does the X770 just support 7 vrrp?

the configuration of vrrp like this in my switch:
create vrrp vlan vlan4005 vrid 6
create vrrp vlan vlan4010 vrid 2
create vrrp vlan vlan4012 vrid 3
create vrrp vlan VTEP vrid 1
create vrrp vlan vlan4014 vrid 4
create vrrp vlan vlan4000 vrid 5
create vrrp vlan vlan3900 vrid 7

the version of X770 is 16.1.3.6

it's a small datacenter. each server connects to 2 X670, then each X670 connects to 2 X770.
topo like this:

we have enabled the mlage between x670 and X770.

hi, Brad Paker, thank you for your suggestion. but it may not suitable for my datacenter.
in my ceneter, there are 2 scene.
Scene A: some vlans are layer 3 networks. their gateways are in the X770.
Scene B: some vlans are pure layer 2 networks. so the malg is needed to implement the redundancy. these layer 2 network vlans are across the X770. in fact, there are 8 X670 in my center. they are connected to X770 like topo above. the servers under different X670 may communicate each other and they are in the same vlans.

i've read the EXOS_User_Guide_16_1. it doesn't support vlan with different vlan id by the same vrid. the same vrid just supports the vlan configed different ip.

Yeah, it looks like you could use mlag and fabric routing (added in 16.2.2.4 which is the recommended version for the x770)
https://gtacknowledge.extremenetworks.com/articles/How_To/An-example-of-VRRP-fabric-routing-configur...

The example in the link only covers fabric routing. Each of the vlans can be added to one VRID.

Hi Aaron,

This is correct. There is a maximum of 7 VRIDs.



Can you tell us a little bit more about what you're trying to do and maybe we can help you out? For instance, you can use the same VRID for multiple vlans, if you have two redundant routers.

Thanks,
Brad
