Tracking ports and setting VRRP priority using VRRPv3
Configuring port tracking on an exit path interface and setting a priority on a VRRPv3 device enables VRRPv3 to monitor the interface.
For VRRPv3, if the interface goes down, the device priority is set to the priority value and another backup device with a higher priority
assumes the role of master. For VRRP-Ev3, if the interface goes down, the device priority is lowered by the priority value and another
backup device with a higher priority assumes the role of master.
Before enabling IPv6 VRRPv3, you must globally enable IPv6 routing using the
ipv6 unicast-routing
command.
Configure this task on the device on which the tracked interface exists.
1. Enter the
configure terminal
command to enter global configuration mode.
device# configure terminal
2. Enter the
ipv6 router vrrp
command to configure VRRPv3 globally.
device(config)# ipv6 router vrrp
3. Configure the Ethernet interface.
device(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/6
4. Enter the IPv6 address for the interface to be used for the virtual router ID (VRID).
device(config-if-e1000-1/1/6)# ipv6 address fd2b::2/64
5. Enter the following command to enter the appropriate VRRPv3 virtual router ID (VRID) mode.
device(config-if-e1000-1/1/6)# ipv6 vrrp vrid 1
6. Enter the
track-port
command to set the tracked port and priority:
device(config-if-e1000-1/1/6-vrid-1)# track-port ethernet 1/2/4 priority 20
The priority value is used when a tracked port goes down and the new priority is set to this value. Ensure that the priority value is
lower than the priority set for any existing master or backup device to force a renegotiation for the master device.
The following example shows how to configure interface Ethernet 1/2/4 on virtual router 1 to be tracked; if the interface fails, the IPv6
VRRPv3 priority of the device becomes 20, forcing a negotiation for a new master device.
device# configure terminal
device(config)# ipv6 router vrrp
device(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/6
device(config-if-e1000-1/1/6)# ipv6 address fd2b::2/64
device(config-if-e1000-1/1/6)# ipv6 vrrp vrid 1
device(config-if-e1000-1/1/6-vrid-1)# track-port ethernet 1/2/4 priority 20
Accept mode for backup VRRP devices
Accept mode allows a backup VRRP device to respond to ping, traceroute, and Telnet packets if the backup device becomes the master
VRRP device.
For each VRRP virtual routing instance, there is one master device and all other devices are backups. Accept mode allows some network
management functionality for backup VRRP devices, providing the ability to respond to ping, traceroute, and Telnet packets. By default,
nonowner VRRP devices do not accept packets destined for the IPv4 or IPv6 VRID addresses. Troubleshooting network connections to
the VRRP nonowner master device is difficult unless accept mode is enabled.
