Usage
Information
The VRRP group only becomes active and sends VRRP packets when a link-local virtual IP address is
configured. When you delete the virtual address, the VRRP group stops sending VRRP packets.
● When VRF microcode is not loaded in CAM, the VRID for a VRRP group is the same as the VRID
number configured with the vrrp-group or vrrp-ipv6-group command.
● 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 or non-Dell Networking) in
the same VRRP group in order for all routers to interoperate.
