The following example shows the configuration of accept mode on an IPv6 Backup router.
Brocade(config)# interface ve 3
Brocade(config-vif-3)# ipv6 vrrp vrid 2
Brocade(config-vif-3-vrid-2)# backup
Brocade(config-vif-3-vrid-2)# advertise backup
Brocade(config-vif-3-vrid-2)# ipv6-address 2001:DB8::1
Brocade(config-vif-3-vrid-2)# accept-mode
Brocade(config-vif-3-vrid-2)# activate
Configuration considerations for IPv6 VRRP and IPv6 VRRP-E support on
Brocade devices
Consider the following when enabling IPv6 VRRP mode and IPv6 VRRP-E mode on Brocade devices:
•
You can configure only one protocol (Layer 3 VSRP, VRRP, or VRRP-E) on a router at a single time. However, VRRP or VRRP-
E can be configured with IPv4 and IPv6 concurrently on a router.
•
Scale timer configuration does not affect timer values, nor does it scale timer values for virtual routers configured with sub-
second time values for IPv6 VRRP and IPv4 VRRP modes.
•
Abdication of a VRRP Owner router in an IPv6 environment is not supported. Abdication of an Owner router is a Brocade-
specific enhancement to VRRP. Abdication of an Owner router is possible by changing the Owner’s priority, or by configuring
track ports for an Owner router.
–
For IPv6 VRRP only, the tracking port configuration is not allowed if the router is configured as the VRRP Owner. This
conforms to RFC 5798.
–
For the IPv6 VRRP Owner router only, the priority configuration is not allowed. The Owner router priority is always 255.
This conforms to RFC 5798.
•
Interoperability is not supported for a VRID when VRRP routers are configured as VRRP v2 or v3.
•
Brocade does not recommend reuse of the same VRID across IPv6 VRRP or IPv4 VRRP or in the same broadcast domain.
•
There is no specified restriction for configuring VRRP or VRRP-E instances if they are within the maximum VRID range.
Basic VRRP-E parameter configuration
The following sections describe the configuration of the parameters specific to IPv4 and IPv6 VRRP-E.
Configuration rules for VRRP-E
Consider the following rules when configuring VRRP-E:
•
The interfaces of all routers in a VRID must be in the same IP subnet.
•
The IP address associated with the VRID cannot be configured on any of the Layer 3 switches.
•
The Hello interval must be set to the same value with in the same VRID.
•
The dead interval must be set to the same value with in the same VRID.
•
The track priority for a VRID must be lower than the VRRP-E priority.
