CLI Guide

• When VRF microcode is loaded in CAM, the VRID for a VRRP group is equal to
16 times the vrrp-group or vrrp-ipv6-group vrid number plus the ip
vrf vrf-id number. For example, if VRF microcode is loaded and VRRP group
10 is configured in VRF 2, the VRID used for the VRRP group is (16 x 10) + 2, or
162. This VRID value is used in the lowest byte of the virtual MAC address of the
VRRP group and is also used for VRF routing.
NOTE: Configure the same VRID on neighboring routers (Dell Networking OS
or non-Dell Networking OS) in the same VRRP group in order for all routers to
interoperate.
version
Set the VRRP protocol version for the IPv4 group.
Syntax
version {2 | 3 | both}
To return to the default setting, use the no version command.

The following is a list of the Dell Networking OS version history for this command.
Version Description
9.9(0.0) Introduced on the FN IOM.
9.7(0.0) Introduced on the S6000-ON..
9.5(0.0) Introduced on the Z9000, S6000, S4820T, S4810, and MXL.
Usage Information You can use the both command to migrate from VRRPv2 to VRRPv3. When you set
the VRRP protocol version to both, the switch sends only VRRPv3 advertisements
but can receive either VRRPv2 or VRRPv3 packets. To migrate an IPv4 VRRP group
from VRRPv2 to VRRPv3:
