Procedure
Step 1
Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Step 2
Run:
interface
interface-type
interface-number
The interface view is displayed.
Step 3
Run:
vrrp vrid
virtual-router-id
virtual-ip
virtual-address
A VRRP backup group is created and assigned a virtual IP address.
NOTE
l
VRRP backup groups cannot share virtual IP addresses. The virtual IP addresses of a VRRP backup
group must be in the same network segment as the IP addresses of the interfaces where the VRRP
backup group is configured.
l
Two devices in a single VRRP backup group must be configured with the same virtual router ID
(VRID).
If VRRP backup groups need to work in load balancing mode, repeat this step to configure two
or more VRRP backup groups on the interface and assign different VRIDs to them.
NOTE
On the NE80E/40E, a maximum number of 255 backup groups can be configured on each interface.
NOTICE
To configure VRRP and static ARP simultaneously on a device, note that when VRRP is enabled
on an interface such as a sub-interface for Dot1q VLAN tag termination, a sub-interface for
QinQ VLAN tag termination, or a VLANIF interface, you cannot use the IP addresses mapping
to static ARP entries related to these interfaces as the VRRP virtual addresses. Otherwise,
incorrect host routes are generated and abnormal forwarding of the device may take place.

4.2.3 Configuring VRRP Priorities on Interfaces in a VRRP Backup
Group
Interfaces in a VRRP backup group can be configured with different VRRP priorities. These
VRRP priorities determine the VRRP status of these interfaces. The interface with a higher
VRRP priority than others is in the Master state and forwards traffic between users and networks.
Context
One VRRP backup group can work only in master/backup mode. routers in the VRRP backup
group have different priorities. The router with a higher VRRP priority than others is in the
Master state and others are in the Backup state.
