The ip vrrp owner command specifies that this router owns the IP address you are associating with
the VRID. Because this router owns the IP address, this router is the default Master router and its
VRRP priority is thus 255.
Configuring Router2
To configure Router2 in Figure 151 on page 1103 after enabling VRRP, enter the following
commands.
The backup command specifies that this router is a VRRP Backup for virtual router VRID1. The IP
address entered with the ip-address command is the same IP address as the one entered when
configuring Router1. In this case, the IP address cannot also exist on Router2, but the interface on
which you are configuring the VRID Backup must have an IP address in the same subnet. By
entering the same IP address as the one associated with this VRID on the Owner, you are
configuring the Backup to back up the address, but you are not duplicating the address.
NOTE
When you configure a Backup router, the router interface on which you are configuring the VRID
must have a real IP address that is in the same subnet as the address associated with the VRID by
the Owner. However, the address cannot be the same.
The priority parameter establishes the router VRRP priority in relation to the other VRRP routers in
this virtual router. The track-priority parameter specifies the new VRRP priority that the router
receives for this VRID if the interface goes down. Refer to
“Track ports and track priority” on
page 1105.
The activate command activates the VRID configuration on this interface. The interface does not
provide backup service for the virtual IP address until you activate the VRRP configuration.

VRRPE example
To implement the VRRPE configuration shown in Figure 152 on page 1108, use the following CLI
method.
Router2(config)#router vrrp
Router2(config)#inter e 1/5
Router2(config-if-1/5)#ip address 192.53.5.3
Router2(config-if-1/5)#ip vrrp vrid 1
Router2(config-if-1/5-vrid-1)#backup priority 100 track-priority 19
Router2(config-if-1/5-vrid-1)#track-port ethernet 3/2
Router2(config-if-1/5-vrid-1)#ip-address 192.53.5.1
Router2(config-if-1/5-vrid-1)#activate
