Dell S4048T, Configuration Manual

Page: 1213 / 1277

The following example configures the IPv4 VRRP 100 group to use VRRP protocol version 3.
Dell(conf-if-te-1/1)# vrrp-group 100
Dell(conf-if-te-1/1-vrid-100)#version ?
2 VRRPv2
3 VRRPv3
both Interoperable, send VRRPv3 receive both
Dell(conf-if-te-1/1-vrid-100)#version 3
You can use the version both command in INTERFACE mode to migrate from VRRPv2 to VRRPv3. When you
set the VRRP version to both , the switch sends only VRRPv3 advertisements but can receive VRRPv2 or
VRRPv3 packets.
To migrate an IPv4 VRRP group from VRRPv2 to VRRPv3:
1 Set the switches with the lowest priority to “both”.
2 Set the switch with the highest priority to version to 3.
3 Set all the switches from both to version 3.
NOTE: Do not run VRRP version 2 and version 3 in the same group for an extended period of time
Example: Migrating an IPv4 VRRP Group from VRRPv2 to VRRPv3
NOTE: Carefully following this procedure, otherwise you might introduce dual master switches issues.
To migrate an IPv4 VRRP Group from VRRPv2 to VRRPv3:
1 Set the backup switches to VRRP version to both.
Dell_backup_switch1(conf-if-te-1/1-vrid-100)#version both
Dell_backup_switch2(conf-if-te-1/2-vrid-100)#version both
2 Set the master switch to VRRP protocol version 3.
Dell_master_switch(conf-if-te-1/1-vrid-100)#version 3
3 Set the backup switches to version 3.
Dell_backup_switch1(conf-if-te-1/1-vrid-100)#version 3
Dell_backup_switch2(conf-if-te-1/2-vrid-100)#version 3
Assign Virtual IP addresses
Virtual routers contain virtual IP addresses configured for that VRRP group (VRID). A VRRP group does not
transmit VRRP packets until you assign the Virtual IP address to the VRRP group.
The device supports a total of 120 VRRP groups on a switch with Dell Networking OS or a total of 20 VRRP
groups when using SFTOS. The S-Series supports varying number of maximum VRRP groups per interface.
For more information, refer to VRRP Implementation .
To activate a VRRP group on an interface (so that VRRP group starts transmitting VRRP packets), configure at
least one virtual IP address in a VRRP group. The virtual IP address is the IP address of the virtual router and
does not require the IP address mask.
You can configure up to 12 virtual IP addresses on a single VRRP group (VRID).
The following rules apply to virtual IP addresses:
