virtual-ipv6
Overview
Use this command to set the virtual IPv6 address for the VRRPv3 session. This is the
IPv6 address of the virtual router that end hosts set as their default gateway.
Note that the primary IPv6 address specified is an IPv6 link-local address. See the
Usage note below for further information.
Use the
no
variant of this command to disable this feature.

Usage
The VRRP master and owner of the virtual IPv6 address for the VRRPv3 session only
responds to the packets destined to the virtual IPv6 address. The VRRP master that
is not an owner of the virtual IPv6 address for the VRRPv3 session does not respond
to the packets destined to the virtual IPv6 address, but forwards packets with a
VMAC as the destination address. See the
vrrp vmac
command to enable and
disable this feature.
The AlliedWare Plus VRRPv3 implementation supports one IPv6 virtual link local
address per virtual router ID. Note that in the command examples fe80::1 is an IPv6
link-local address. An IPv6 link-local address is used because IPv6 link-local
addresses are used by IPv6 ND (Neighbor Discovery). A host’s default route to a
router points to the IPv6 link- local address, not a specific global IPv6 address for
the router. For the host’s traffic to switch over to a backup router, the IPv6 link-local
address of the router is used by VRRPv3.
See the
VRRP Feature Overview and Configuration Guide
for more information
about VRRPv3 IPv6 configuration details.
Parameter
Description
<ipv6-address>
The IPv6 address of the virtual router, entered in hexadecimal, in
the format X:X::X.X.
master
Sets
master
to be the default state of the VRRPv3 router within
the Virtual Router. For
master
, the router must own the Virtual IP
address.
backup
Sets
backup
to be the default state of the VRRPv3 router within
the Virtual Router.
primary
Sets the specified address as the primary IPv6 address. The
primary address must be a link-local IPv6 address.
secondary
Sets the specified address as the secondary IPv6 address.
Normally this would be a globally-routable IPv6 address. This
enables you to specify a globally-routable address as the default
gateway address for all the hosts on a VLAN.
