The Configuration Menu 43W7774, May 2007
/cfg/l3/vrrp/vr <router number>
Virtual Router Configuration
This menu is used for configuring virtual routers for this switch. A virtual router is defined by
its virtual router ID and an IP address. On each VRRP-capable routing device participating in
redundancy for this virtual router, a virtual router will be configured to share the same virtual
router ID and IP address.
Virtual routers are disabled by default.

Command Syntax and Usage
track
Displays the VRRP Priority Tracking Menu for this virtual router. Tracking is an Alteon OS pro-
prietary extension to VRRP, used for modifying the standard priority system used for electing the
master router. To view menu options, see page 298.
vrid <virtual router ID (1-1024)>
Defines the virtual router ID. This is used in conjunction with addr (below) to define a virtual
router on this switch. To create a pool of VRRP-enabled routing devices which can provide redun-
dancy to each other, each participating VRRP device must be configured with the same virtual
router: one that shares the same vrid and addr combination.
The vrid for standard virtual routers (where the virtual router IP address is not the same as any
virtual server) can be any integer between 1 and 1024. The default value is 1.
All vrid values must be unique within the VLAN to which the virtual router’s IP interface
belongs.
addr <IP address (such as, 192.4.17.101)>
Defines the IP address for this virtual router using dotted decimal notation. This is used in conjunc-
tion with the vrid (above) to configure the same virtual router on each participating VRRP
device. The default address is 0.0.0.0.
