Description
Enables VRRP on the application switch.
Syntax Description
This command has no parameters or options.
Default
VRRP is disabled by default.
Usage Guidelines
You must have administrator privileges to issue this command.
Before you enable VRRP on a switch, you must ensure that each conÞgured service has been assigned a
VRID number. You can assign a VRID number to a service when you create it (with the configure
service L4
or configure service L7 command). If you did not initially assign VRID number to
services, you can use the configure vrrp change vrid command to assign a particular VRID number
to all services.
If gateway mode must be enabled, you must specify at least one gateway-mode IP address for each
active VRRP class before you enable gateway mode. An active VRRP class is one that contains at least one
service. When you add a gateway-mode IP address with the configure gateway-mode add ipaddress
command, you can specify the VRID of a VRRP class. A given VRRP class can have multiple
gateway-mode IP addresses.
When gateway mode and VRRP are both enabled, you must also make sure every server responds to
VIPs in a single VRRP class. That is, all services that use a particular server must be in the same VRRP
class.
The commands relevant to gateway mode are described in Chapter 4.
You must use the build command to commit the conÞguration changes made by this command.
