Configuration of Router R2
The following is the configuration file for Router R2 in
Figure 12-3
.
Line 8 sets the backup priority for virtual router
VRID=1
to 200. Since this number is higher than Router R3’s backup
priority for virtual router
VRID=1
, Router R2 is the primary Backup, and Router R3 is the secondary Backup for virtual
router
VRID=1
.
On line 9, the backup priority for virtual router
VRID=3
is set to 100. Since Router R1’s backup priority for this virtual
router is 200, Router R1 is the primary Backup, and Router R2 is the secondary Backup for virtual router
VRID=3
.
The following table shows the priorities for each virtual router configured on Router R2.
