Creating a Virtual Router
To enable VRRP, you must create a Virtual Router. In Dell networking OS, a VRRP Group is identified by
the Virtual Router Identifier (VRID).
To enable a Virtual Router, use the following command in the INTERFACE mode. To delete a VRRP
group, use the
no vrrp-group vrid command in the INTERFACE mode.
