4. Assign the same virtual router ID to the port as defined for Router 1.
5. Specify the virtual IP address that the VRRP function will recognize. Since the virtual IP address on
port 1/0/4 is the same as Router 1’s port 1/0/2 actual IP address, this router will be the VRRP backup
while Router 1 is active.
6. Set the priority for the port. The higher the number, the more likely that the router will become the
master router in a failover. The default priority is 100.
7. Enable VRRP on the port for VRID 20.
8. Use
show ip vrrp interface unit/slot/port and show ip vrrp interface brief on each router to verify
preferences.
