In ACX7k VRRP not working with VPLS IRB when more than Group 1 is used.

Traffic forwarding to IRB IP will be failed when group other than 1 is configured.

This is due to the HW db profile configured.

Only with BNG profile multiple groups for VRRP-VPLS is supported. With all other HW db profiles, only group 1 is supported.

This limitation is applicable for only VRRP-VPLS services and for all ACX7k platforms.

And this profile BNG is currently not available in ACX7024 platforms.

Please refer to the above document for profile name.

Other vrrp-group numbers can be used but the hw-db-profile needs to be changed to bng 

# set system packet-forwarding-options hw-db-profile bng
