Configuring network layer attributes such as IP addresses for interfaces to ensure network
connectivity
Data Preparation
To configure basic VRRP IPv6 backup group functions, you need the following data.
No.
Data
1
VRID and virtual IP address of a VRRP IPv6 backup group
2
Priorities of NE80E/40Es in the VRRP IPv6 backup group
3
(Optional) Preemption delay, interval at which VRRP IPv6 Advertisement packets
are sent, and timeout period for sending gratuitous ARP packets
4
(Optional) Interval carried in VRRP IPv6 Advertisement packets sent by the master
NE80E/40E during smooth VRRPIPv6 switching
4.8.2 Configuring a VRRP IPv6 Backup Group
A VRRP IPv6 backup group can be configured to work in either master/backup or load balancing
mode, improving network reliability.
Context
A VRRP IPv6 backup group works in either master/backup or load balancing mode. For more
information, see
. When only one VRRP IPv6 backup group is configured
on two devices, the two VRRP devices work in master/backup mode to transmit data. When
multiple VRRP backup groups are configured on the two devices, the two VRRP devices can
work in load balancing mode to transmit data.
A VRRP IPv6 backup group uses a backup device to take over traffic if the master device fails.
This implements gateway redundancy without causing networking changes and improves
network reliability.
NOTE
Note the following settings when configuring basic VRRP IPv6 backup group functions:
l
The virtual IP addresses of VRRP IPv6 backup groups must be unique.
l
Two devices in a single VRRP IPv6 backup group must use the same virtual router ID (VRID).
l
Different VRRP IPv6 backup groups on different interfaces of a device can use the same VRID.
