Virtual Router Configuration
These commands are used for configuring 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.
Table 234 VRRP Virtual Router Configuration Commands
Command Syntax and Usage
virtual-router <1-15> virtual-router-id <1-128>
Defines the virtual router ID (VRID). This is used in conjunction with the
[no] virtual-router <VRID> address <IP address> command 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.
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 128. The default value is 1.
All VRID values must be unique within the VLAN to which the virtual router’s IP interface
belongs.
Command mode: Router VRRP
[no] virtual-router <1-15> 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: Router VRRP
virtual-router <1-15> interface <interface number>
Selects a switch IP interface. If the IP interface has the same IP address as the addr option
above, this switch is considered the “owner” of the defined virtual router. An owner has a
special priority of 255 (highest) and will always assume the role of master router, even if it
must pre-empt another virtual router which has assumed master routing authority. This
pre-emption occurs even if the preem option below is disabled. The default value is 1.
