Control Descriptions
Virtual Router Identifier (1-255)
Defines the virtual router ID. This is used in conjunction with
addr
(below)
to define a virtual router on this switch. To create a pool of VRRP-enabled
routing devices which can provide redundancy to each other, each
participating VRRP device must be configured with the same virtual router:
one that shares the same
vrid
and
addr
combination.
The
vrid
for standard virtual routers (where the virtual router IP address is
not the same as any virtual server) can be any integer between 1 and 255.
The default value is 1.
All
vrid
values must be unique within the VLAN to which the virtual
router’s IP interface belongs.
IP Address
Defines the IP address for this virtual router using dotted decimal notation.
This is used in conjunction with the
vrid
(above) to configure the same
virtual router on each participating VRRP device. The default address is
0.0.0.0.
