Lenovo ENOS Extensions to VRRP
This
section
describes
VRRP
enhancements
that
are
implemented
in
Lenovo
ENOS.
Lenovo
ENOS
supports
a
tracking
function
that
dynamically
modifies
the
priority
of
a
VRRP
router,
based
on
its
current
state.
The
objective
of
tracking
is
to
have,
whenever
possible,
the
master
bidding
processes
for
various
virtual
routers
in
a
LAN
converge
on
the
same
switch.
Tracking
ensures
that
the
selected
switch
is
the
one
that
offers
optimal
network
performance.
For
tracking
to
have
any
effect
on
virtual
router
operation,
preemption
must
be
enabled.
Lenovo
ENOS
can
track
the
attributes
listed
in
:
Each
tracked
parameter
has
a
user
‐
configurable
weight
associated
with
it.
As
the
count
associated
with
each
tracked
item
increases
(or
decreases),
so
does
the
VRRP
router
ʹ
s
priority,
subject
to
the
weighting
associated
with
each
tracked
item.
If
the
priority
level
of
a
standby
is
greater
than
that
of
the
current
master,
then
the
standby
can
assume
the
role
of
the
master.
See
for
an
example
on
how
to
configure
the
switch
for
tracking
VRRP
priority.

Tracking
Parameters
Parameter
Description
Number
of
IP
interfaces
on
the
switch
that
are
active
(“up”)
tracking-priority-increment
interfaces
Helps
elect
the
virtual
routers
with
the
most
available
routes
as
the
master.
(An
IP
interface
is
considered
active
when
there
is
at
least
one
active
port
on
the
same
VLAN.)
This
parameter
influences
the
VRRP

in
virtual

Note
:
In
