Enabling an IPv6 VRRPv3 owner device
This task is performed on the device that is designated as the owner VRRP device because the IPv6 address of one of its physical
interfaces is assigned as the IP address of the virtual router. For each VRRP session, there are master and backup routers, and the owner
router is elected, by default, as the master router.
NOTE
When implementing IPv6 VRRPv3 across a network with devices from other vendors, be aware of a potential interoperability
issue. Brocade has implemented IPv6 VRRPv3 functionality to comply with RFC 5798 and will interoperate well with other
vendors that support RFC 5798.
1. On the device designated as the owner VRRP device, from privileged EXEC mode, enter global configuration mode by issuing
the
configure terminal
command.
device# configure terminal
2. Before enabling IPv6 VRRP, you must globally enable IPv6 routing.
device(config)# ipv6 unicast-routing
3. Globally enable IPv6 VRRP.
device(config)# ipv6 router vrrp
4. Configure the Ethernet interface link for the owner device.
device(config-ipv6-vrrp-router)# interface ethernet 1/1/5
5. Configure the IPv6 address of the interface.
device(config-if-e1000-1/1/5)# ipv6 address fd2b::2/64
6. Assign the owner device to the virtual router ID (VRID) 2.
device(config-if-e1000-1/1/5)# ipv6 vrrp vrid 2
NOTE
You can assign a VRID number in the range of 1 through 255.
7. Designate this router as the VRRP owner device.
device(config-if-e1000-1/1/5-vrid-2)# owner
8. Configure the VRRP version.
device(config-if-e1000-1/1/5-vrid-2)# version 3
9. Assign an IPv6 link-local address to the VRID for use in the local network.
device(config-if-e1000-1/1/5-vrid-2)# ipv6-address fe80::768e:f8ff:fe2a:0099
10. Assign a global IPv6 address to the VRID.
device(config-if-e1000-1/1/5-vrid-2)# ipv6-address fd2b::2
11. Enable the VRRP session.
device(config-if-e1000-1/1/5-vrid-2)# activate
