If VRRPv3 is configured on an Extreme device in a network with third-party peering devices using VRRPv2-style checksum calculations for IPv4 VRRPv3 sessions, a VRRPv2-style checksum must be configured for VRRPv3 IPv4 sessions on the device.
VRRPv3 introduced a new checksum method for both IPv4 and IPv6 sessions, and this version 3 checksum computation is enabled by default. To accommodate third-party devices that still use a VRRPv2-style checksum for IPv4 VRRPv3 sessions, a command-line interface (CLI) command is available for configuration on a device. The new version 2 checksum method is disabled by default and is applicable only to IPv4 VRRPv3 sessions. If configured for VRRPv2 sessions, the VRRPv2-style checksum command is accepted, but it has no effect.
