Usage Guidelines
•
Use the no form of this command to remove a virtual router from the configuration.
•
Use the vrrp address command to configure an IP address for the virtual router. This must be done
before the virtual router can be enabled.
•
To disable the virtual router, rather than to remove it, use the disable or off option. Note that disable or
off cannot be used with any other optional parameter.
•
A virtual router must be disabled before it can be modified.
•
Advertising is an optional command parameter. When prefaced before interval , it displays the same
information as vrrp vrid vlan_id interval .
Important information about configuring priority:
•
A value of 255 indicates that the VRRP router owns the IP address; that is, the router contains the real
physical interface to which the IP address is assigned. The system automatically sets this value to 255
if it detects that this router is the IP address owner. If the priority is set to 255 and the virtual router is
not the IP address owner, then the priority will be set to the default value of 100. The IP address owner
will always be the master router if it is available.
•
VRRP routers backing up a virtual router must use priority values from 1 to 255. The default priority
value for VRRP routers backing up a virtual router is 100. If you configure more than one backup, their
priority values should be different. The
preempt or no preempt setting specifies whether or not a
higher priority router may preempt a lower priority master router.
