Information
If you disable the interface, the cost value is subtracted from the priority value and forces a new
MASTER election if the priority value is lower than the priority value in the BACKUP virtual routers.
virtual-address
Configure up to 12 IP addresses of virtual routers in the VRRP group. You must set at least one virtual
address for the VRRP group to start sending VRRP packets.
Syntax
virtual-address ip-address1 [... ip-address12]
To delete one or more virtual IP addresses, use the no virtual-address ip-address1 [... ip-address12]
command.
Parameters

Not configured.

Usage
Information
The VRRP group only becomes active and sends VRRP packets when a virtual IP address is
configured. When you delete the virtual address, the VRRP group stops sending VRRP packets.
A system message appears after you enter or delete the virtual-address command.
To guarantee that a VRRP group becomes MASTER, configure the VRRP group’s virtual address with
the same IP address as the interface’s primary IP address and change the priority of the VRRP group to
255.
You can ping the virtual addresses configured in all VRRP groups.
vrrp delay minimum
Set the delay time for VRRP initialization after an interface comes up.
Syntax
vrrp delay minimum seconds
