We’ve seen VRRP flap sometimes, occasionally causing FRR’s OSPF or BGP daemons to have problems. @Dmitry and @Viacheslav have helped me over Slack with this, particularly recovering a partially failed router without resorting to a reboot and being impacted by ⚓ T1698 prefix-list and/or route-map not configured before referencing BGP neighbor is configured (BGP session established before filters applied)
I have managed to create a pair of VMs that exhibit the same behaviour of flapping VRRP so hopefully this will provide a base for further diagnosis. I haven’t tried stripping out the rest of the config, but after a while, the VRRP flap happens with this pair of configs (note the eth2 interfaces on each router are connected to each other, eth3 interfaces are not).

Once that’s been running for a while, this turns up in sudo journalctl |grep " 15:38"|grep -v systemd|grep -v agetty
