Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol

VRRP Examples

This section provides the configuration syntax for the two VRRP networks discussed in this chapter.

Configuring the Simple VRRP Network

The following illustration shows the simple VRRP network described in Figure 27.

Figure 29: Simple VRRP network

The configuration commands for switch A are as follows:

configure vlan vlan1 ipaddress 192.168.1.3/24

configure vrrp vlan vlan1 vrid 1

configure vrrp vlan vlan1 vrid 1 prioirty 255

configure vrrp vlan vlan1 vrid 1 add 192.168.1.3

enable vrrp

The configuration commands for switch B are as follows:

configure vlan vlan1 ipaddress 192.168.1.5/24

configure vrrp vlan vlan1 vrid 1

configure vrrp vlan vlan1 vrid 1 add 192.168.1.3

enable vrrp

EX_068

Switch A

Switch A = Master
VRID = 1
Virtual router IP address = 192.168.1.3
MAC address = 00-00-5E-00-01-01
Priority = 255

Default Gateway = 192.168.1.3

192.168.1.3

Switch B

Switch B = Backup
VRID = 1
Virtual router IP address = 192.168.1.3
MAC address = 00-00-5E-00-01-01
Priority = 100

192.168.1.5
