VLAN 1.
interface vlan 1
2. In Interface Configuration mode:
Set and enable IP address 10.0.0.2

ip address 10.0.0.2 255.255.255.0
no shutdown
3. In Global Configuration mode:
Enable VRRP configuration mode on this router.
router vrrp
4. In VRRP Configuration mode:
Create a VRRP session for this router on
VLAN 1 with a VRID of 1.
create vlan 1 1
5. Create a second VRRP with a VRID of 2. create vlan 1 2
6. Create a third VRRP session with a VRID of 3. create vlan 1 3
7. Set a virtual router address as VLAN 1, VRID 2,
interface 10.0.0.2, and set this router as master
(owner value 1).
address vlan 1 2 10.0.0.2 1
8. Set a virtual router address as VLAN 1, VRID 1,
interface 10.0.0.1, and set this router as backup
(owner value 0).
address vlan 1 1 10.0.0.1 0
9. Set a virtual router address as VLAN 1, VRID 3,
interface 10.0.0.3, and set this router as backup
(owner value 0).
address vlan 1 3 10.0.0.3 0
10. Set a priority of 200 for this router on VRID 1,
making it the primary backup.
priority vlan 1 1 200
11. Set a priority of 100 for this router on VRID 3,
making it the secondary backup.
Note: This command is shown for
illustration purposes only since 100 is
the default priority value and doesn’t
have to be set.
priority vlan 1 3 100
12. Enable VRRP on this router on VLAN 1, VRIDs
1, 2, and 3.
enable vlan 1 1
enable vlan 1 2
enable vlan 1 3

this section. Once enabled, you cannot make any configuration changes to VRRP on this
router without first disabling VRRP using the no enable vlan command.
