The following shows an example of the configuration on the “initially-preferred
master”.
(Alcatel4324) (config) #vrrp 22
(Alcatel4324) (config-vrrp) #vlan 22
(Alcatel4324) (config-vrrp) #ip address 10.200.22.254
(Alcatel4324) (config-vrrp) #priority 110
(Alcatel4324) (config-vrrp) #preempt
(Alcatel4324) (config-vrrp) #authentication password
(Alcatel4324) (config-vrrp) #description Preferred-Master
Step 5 authentication password
(Optional)
Optional
authentication
password that is
used to
authenticate
packets between
VRRP peers
Any password of up to
8 characters can be
configured on both the
peer switches. This is
an optional
configuration.
Step 6
description description
(Optional)
Optional
description to the
VRRP instance.
Any text description can
be configured in this
field. This is an optional
configuration.
Step 7
tracking master-up-time
duration add value
Configures a
tracking
mechanism that
adds value to the
priority after a
switch has been
the master for
the VRRP
instance for a
duration longer
than the
configured value
duration. This is
used to avoid
failing over to a
backup Master
for transient
failures.
The value of duration is
the length of time that
the administrator
expects will be long
enough that the
database gathered in
the time is too
important to be lost.
This will obviously vary
from instance to
instance.
The recommended value
of value in conjunction
to the values for priority
in step 4 is 20.
Step 8 no shutdown Administratively
enables the VRRP
instance.
