On an owner
The VIP configured in a VR instance must match one of the IP addresses configured in the VLAN interface
on which the VR is configured.
On a backup
The VIP configured in a VR instance cannot be a "real" IP address configured in a VLAN interface on that
router.
NOTE:
The VIP configured for one VR cannot be configured on another VR.
•
Before
changing a router from owner to backup, or the reverse, the VIP must be removed from the configuration.
• The priority configuration on an owner can be only 255. The priority configuration on a backup must be 254 or
lower, the default being 100.
• Advertisement intervals:
If a VRRP router has a different advertisement interval than a VRRP packet it receives, the router drops the
packet. For this reason, the advertisement interval must be the same for the owner and all backups in the
same VR.
• A VR exists within a single VLAN interface. If the VLAN is multinetted, a separate VR can be configured within
the VLAN for each subnet. A VLAN allows up to 32 VRs (16 for the 2930F switch), and the switch allows up to
2048 VRs.
• All routers in the same VR must belong to the same network or subnet.
• The router supports the following maximums:
◦ 32 VRs (16 for the 2930F switch) per VLAN in any combination of masters and backups
◦ 512 (128 for the 2930F switch) IPv4 and IPv6 VRs in combination
◦ 2046 Virtual IP addresses
◦ 512 (128 for the 2930F switch) VR sessions on the switch
◦ 512 (128 for the 2930F switch) VRRPv2 and VRRPv3 sessions, in any mix
◦ 32 (16 for the 2930F switch) IP addresses per VR
• Each VR uses one MAC address as described under
on page 340.
• If an IP address is deleted on a VLAN interface, one of the following occurs:
◦ VR owner: If the VR uses the same IP address as a VIP, that IP address is deleted from the VR.
◦ VR backup: If the VR has a VIP in the same subnet as that of the deleted IP address, that VIP will be
deleted from the VR.
If the deleted VIP was the last VIP of an active VR, the VR will be deactivated. (For more on multiple, VIPs on
a VR, see

• The VRRP backup router can respond to ping requests when the
virtual-ip-ping
feature is enabled. For
