Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) | 1133
• If the virtual IP address and the interface’s primary/secondary IP address are the same, the priority on
that VRRP group is automatically set to 255. The interface then becomes the MASTER/OWNER
router of the VRRP group and the interface’s physical MAC address is changed to that of the owner
VRRP group’s MAC address. (You can also configure a priority for the group even if the group is
owned. The configured priority is saved but only applied as the run-time priority when the last virtual
address is removed from the group.)
• If multiple VRRP groups are configured on an interface, only one of the VRRP groups can have the
primary or secondary IP address of the interface.
Configure a Virtual IP address with these commands in the following sequence in the INTERFACE mode.

Note: After you enter the
vrrp-group or vrrp-ipv6-grou
p
command, a message similar to the following is
displayed to confirm the VRID number used with the VRRP group and displayed in
show vrrp
command
output:
The VRID used by the VRRP group is 41.
For information on how the VRID number changes when VRF microcode is loaded, see the Note in VRRP
on a VRF Interface on page 1142 .
