Create a Virtual Router
To enable VRRP, you must create a Virtual Router on a physical or VLAN interface. In FTOS, a VRRP
Group is identified by the Virtual Router Identifier (VRID).
Starting in release 8.4.1.0, you can configure a VRRP group on an interface that belongs to a non-default
VRF instance.
Prerequisite : The interface on which you create the virtual interface must be enabled and configured with
a primary IP address.
To enable a Virtual Router, use the following command in the INTERFACE mode. To delete a VRRP
group, use the
no vrrp-group
vrid
command in the INTERFACE mode.
