Some tracking criteria (vrs, ifs, and ports below) apply to standard virtual routers, otherwise
called “virtual interface routers.” A virtual server router is defined as any virtual router whose IP
address (addr) is the same as any configured virtual server IP address.
Table 179 Virtual Router Priority Tracking Options
Command Syntax and Usage
vrs disable|enable
When enabled, the priority for this virtual router will be increased for each virtual router in
master mode on this switch. This is useful for making sure that traffic for any particular
client/server pairing are handled by the same switch, increasing routing and load balancing
efficiency. This command is disabled by default.
ifs disable|enable
When enabled, the priority for this virtual router will be increased for each other IP interface
active on this switch. An IP interface is considered active when there is at least one active port
on the same VLAN. This helps elect the virtual routers with the most available routes as the
master. This command is disabled by default.
ports disable|enable
When enabled, the priority for this virtual router will be increased for each active port on the
same VLAN. A port is considered “active” if it has a link and is forwarding traffic. This helps
elect the virtual routers with the most available ports as the master. This command is disabled
by default.
