IPaddr2 and Cisco routers

Hi all!
I've got an issue connected with ipaddr2 resource and cisco routers.
I've set up two nodes with a shared IP. When I have one node up, it gets
right requests from the remote network (through the router), and answers
them. After that I switch the node to standby mode and the other is
going up. The problem is that the first node continues to get requests,
but since it doesn't have a virtual ip more, it doesn't answer requests.
Why could it happen?
P.S.: when the nodes work only inside the internal network, all works right.

As far as I remember Cisco devices do not learn the multicast MAC addresses
for the unicast Cluster IP addresses correct. You have to add the mac address
static.

For the basics see:

Please check if it is still valid for Cisco devices.

We use /usr/lib64/heartbeat/send_arp to propagate the ip-address changes

From the cisco documentation:

However, since the incoming packets have a unicast destination IP address and
multicast destination MAC the Cisco device ignores this entry and process-
switches each cluster-bound packets. In order to avoid this process switching,
insert a static mac-address-table entry as given below in order to switch
cluster-bound packets in hardware.

mac-address-table static 0300.5e11.1111 vlan 200 interface
fa2/3 fa2/4

See:
