Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol configuration
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) support on this switch provides redundancy between routers in a LAN.
This is accomplished by configuring the same virtual router IP address and ID number on each participating VRRP-
capable routing device. One of the virtual routers is then elected as the master, based on a number of priority
criteria, and assumes control of the shared virtual router IP address. If the master fails, one of the backup virtual
routers will assume routing authority and take control of the virtual router IP address.
By default, VRRP is disabled. For more information on VRRP, see the ―High Availability‖ chapter in the

The following table describes the basic VRRP Configuration commands. The following sections provide more
detailed information and commands.

VRRP Virtual Router configuration
Virtual Router commands are used for configuring up to 255 virtual routers for this switch. A virtual router is defined
by its virtual router ID and an IP address. On each VRRP-capable routing device participating in redundancy for this
virtual router, a virtual router will be configured to share the same virtual router ID and IP address.
Virtual routers are disabled by default.
The following table describes the Virtual Router Configuration commands.
Table 148 Virtual Router Configuration commands
Command
Description
virtual-router <
1-255
>
virtual-router-id <
1-255
>
Defines the virtual router ID. This is used in conjunction with
addr
(below) to
define a virtual router on this switch. To create a pool of VRRP-enabled
routing devices which can provide redundancy to each other, each
participating VRRP device must be configured with the same virtual router:
one that shares the same
virtual router ID
and
address
combination.
The
vrid
for standard virtual routers (where the virtual router IP address is
not the same as any virtual server) can be any integer between 1 and 255.
The default value is 1.
All
virtual router ID
values must be unique within the VLAN to which
the virtual router‘s IP interface belongs.
Command mode:
Router VRRP
virtual-router <
1-255
>
address <
IP address
>
Defines the IP address for this virtual router using dotted decimal notation.
This is used in conjunction with the
vrid
(above) to configure the same
virtual router on each participating VRRP device. The default address is
0.0.0.0
Command mode:
