eth ip vrid
Assigns a virtual router ID (VRID) to an Ethernet interface. The same VRID must be
assigned to the master router and its backup routers. For more information, see
“
VRRP Backup” on page 6-16
of the Technical Reference Guide.
This command designates the interface as the VRRP interface for the router. You
must use another logical Ethernet interface as the management interface for the
router. To create a new logical Ethernet interface, use the command
eth add
and then
assign it an IP address with an
eth ip addr
command.
NOTE:
The assignment takes effect after a
save
the change and restart the interface or
reboot
the router.
After assigning the VRID, its attributes may be specified with the eth vrrp commands
(see
eth vrrp add
).
If you delete the VRID (eth vrrp delete), the VRRP interface designation is cleared.
You can also clear the VRRP interface designation by entering the
eth ip vrid
command with 0 as the VRID.
