VRRP Tracking Mode

When a VRRP tracked entity fails, the VRRP router behavior is controlled by the tracking

mode. The mode can be

all or any. The default mode is all.

When the mode is all, the mastership is relinquished when one of the following events occur:

• All of the tracked VLANs fail

• All of the tracked routes fail

• All of the tracked PINGs fail

When the mode is any, the mastership is relinquished when any of the tracked VLANs,

routes, or PINGs fail.

To configure the tracking mode to all, use the following command:

configure vrrp vlan <vlan_name> vrid <vridval> track-mode all

To configure the tracking mode to any, use the following command:

configure vrrp vlan <vlan_name> vrid <vridval> track-mode any

VRRP VLAN Tracking

You can configure VRRP to track connectivity of up to eight specified VLANs as criteria for

failover. If no active ports remain on the specified VLANs, the router automatically

relinquishes master status based on the tracking mode.

To add a tracked VLAN, use the following command:

configure vrrp vlan <vlan_name> vrid <vridval> add track-vlan

<target_vlan_name>

To delete a tracked VLAN, use the following command:

configure vrrp vlan <vlan_name> vrid <vridval> delete track-vlan

<target_vlan_name>

VRRP Route Table Tracking

You can configure VRRP to track specified routes in the route table as criteria for VRRP

failover. If any of the configured routes are not available within the route table, the router

automatically relinquishes master status based on the tracking mode.

To add a tracked route, use the following command:

configure vrrp vlan <vlan_name> vrid <vridval> add track-iproute

To delete a tracked route, use the following command:
