Enabling/Disabling a VRRPv3 Virtual Router
To change the default status of the VRRPv3 virtual router and to enable it, use the
command with
the
enable
keyword. For example:
-> vrrp3 7 3
-> vrrp3 7 3 admin-state enable
In this example, a VRRPv3 virtual router is created on VLAN 3 with a VRID of 7. An IPv6 address is
then assigned to the virtual router. The virtual router is then enabled on the switch.
To disable a VRRPv3 virtual router, use the
disable
keyword.
-> vrrp 7 3 admin-state disable
A VRRPv3 virtual router must be disabled before it may be modified. Use the
vrrp3
command to disable
the virtual router first; then use the command again to modify the parameters. For example:
-> vrrp3 7 3 admin-state disable
-> vrrp3 7 3 priority 200
-> vrrp3 7 3 admin-state enable
In this example, VRRPv3 virtual router 7 on VLAN 3 is disabled. The VRRPv3 virtual router is then
modified to change its priority setting. (For information about configuring the priority setting, see
“Configuring the VRRPv3 Virtual Router Priority” on page 22-21
.) The virtual router is then re-enabled
and will be active on the switch.
Setting VRRPv3 Traps
A VRRPv3 router has the capability to generate VRRPv3 SNMP traps for events defined in the VRRPv3
SNMP MIB.
In order for VRRPv3 traps to be generated correctly, traps in general must be enabled on the switch
through the SNMP CLI. See the
OmniSwitch AOS Release 7 Switch Management Guide
for more informa-
tion about enabling SNMP traps globally.
To disable VRRPv3 traps, use the
no
form of the
command.
-> no vrrp3 trap
To re-enable traps, enter the
vrrp3 trap
command:
-> vrrp3 trap
