      How do i submit a feature request to have VRRP track the route instead of an interface?
      Its not uncommon to have an uplink L3 nexthop not be directly connected so even if the interface goes down the nexthop is still accessible. Tracking route gives another way to influence VRRP master/router selection.
      Juniper and Cisco offer this feature.

      Routing: Juniper, Arista, Cisco
      Switching: Juniper, Arista, Cisco

        A feature request (#12423) has been opened on Netgate's internal tracker for this.

        Thank you.

        DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!
