Configure VRRP on a Master Router
This example shows how to configure the 7000 Series Managed Switch to support VRRP. Router 1 will be
the default master router for the virtual route, and Router 2 will be the backup router.
CLI: Configuring VRRP on a Master Router
The following is an example of configuring VRRP on a 7000 Series Managed Switch acting as the master
router:
Enable routing for the switch. IP forwarding will then be enabled by default.
Configure the IP addresses and subnet masks for the port that will participate in the protocol.
(Netgear Switch) (Config)#interface 1/0/2
(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/2)#routing
(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/2)#ip address 192.150.2.1 255.255.0.0
(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/2)#exit
Enable VRRP for the switch.
(Netgear Switch) (Config)#ip vrrp
Assign virtual router IDs to the port that will participate in the protocol.
(Netgear Switch) (Config)#interface 1/0/2
(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/2)#ip vrrp 20
Specify the IP address that the virtual router function will recognize. Note that the virtual IP address on port
1/0/2 is the same as the port’s actual IP address, therefore this router will always be the VRRP master when
it is active. And the priority default is 255.
(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/2)#ip vrrp 20 ip 192.150.2.1
(Netgear Switch) #config
(Netgear Switch) (Config)#ip routing
