The following example configures a VRRP owner device.
device# configure terminal
device(config)# ipv6 unicast-routing
device(config)# ipv6 router vrrp
device(config-ipv6-vrrp-router)# interface ethernet 1/1/5
device(config-if-e1000-1/1/5)# ipv6 address fd2b::2/64
device(config-if-e1000-1/1/5)# ipv6 vrrp vrid 2
device(config-if-e1000-1/1/5-vrid-2)# owner
device(config-if-e1000-1/1/5-vrid-2)# version 3
device(config-if-e1000-1/1/5-vrid-2)# ipv6-address fe80::768e:f8ff:fe2a:0099
device(config-if-e1000-1/1/5-vrid-2)# ipv6-address fd2b::2
device(config-if-e1000-1/1/5-vrid-2)# activate
Enabling an IPv6 VRRPv3 backup device
This task is performed on all devices that are designated as backup VRRPv3 devices. Initially a backup priority is set to 100. For each
VRRPv3 session, there are master and backup routers, and the IPv6 address assigned here to the VRID is the IPv6 address of the
master router. The task is repeated on each backup VRRPv3 device with corresponding changes to the interface number and IPv6
address of the interface.
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 a backup VRRPv3 device, from privileged EXEC mode, enter global configuration mode by
issuing the configure terminal command.
device# configure terminal
2. Globally enable IPv6 VRRP.
device(config)# ipv6 router vrrp
3. Configure the Ethernet interface link for the owner device.
device(config-ipv6-vrrp-router)# interface ethernet 1/1/4
4. Configure the IPv6 address of the interface.
device(config-if-e1000-1/1/4)# ipv6 address fd2b::3/64
5. Assign the backup device to the virtual router ID (VRID) 2.
device(config-if-e1000-1/1/4)# ipv6 vrrp vrid 2
NOTE
You can assign a VRID number in the range of 1 through 255.
6. Designate this router as a VRRPv3 backup device and assign it a priority of 100.
device(config-if-e1000-1/1/4-vrid-2)# backup priority 100
7. Configure the VRRP version.
device(config-if-e1000-1/1/4-vrid-2)# version 3
