Basic VRRP-E parameter configuration
Basic VRRP-E parameter configuration
The following sections describe the configuration of the parameters specific to IPv4 and IPv6
VRRP-E.

Configuration rules for VRRP-E

Consider the following rules when configuring VRRP-E:
The interfaces of all routers in a VRID must be in the same IP subnet.
The IP address associated with the VRID cannot be configured on any of the Layer 3 switches.
The Hello interval must be set to the same value on all the Layer 3 switches.
The dead interval must be set to the same value on all the Layer 3 switches.
The track priority for a VRID must be lower than the VRRP-E priority.

Configuring IPv4 VRRP-E

VRRP-E is configured at the interface level. To implement a simple IPv4 VRRP-E configuration using
all the default values, enter commands such as the following on each Layer 3 switch.
Brocade Router2(config)#router vrrp-extended
Brocade Router2(config)#interface ethernet 1/1/5
Brocade Router2(config-if-e10000-1/1/5)#ip-address 192.168.5.3
Brocade Router2(config-if-e10000-1/1/5)#ip vrrp-extended vrid 1
Brocade Router2(config-if-e10000-1/1/5-vrid-1)#backup
Brocade Router2(config-if-e10000-1/1/5-vrid-1)#advertise backup
Brocade Router2(config-if-e10000-1/1/5-vrid-1)#ip-address 192.168.5.254
Brocade Router2(config-if-e10000-1/1/5-vrid-1)#activate
Syntax: [no] router vrrp-extended
Syntax: [no] ip-address ip-address
Syntax: [no] ip vrrp-extended vrid vrid
Syntax: [no] backup [priority value] [track-priority value]
Syntax: [no] advertise backup
Syntax: [no] activate
The vrid variable specifies the virtual router ID.
The ip-addr variable specifies the IPv4 address of the router.
You must identify a VRRP-E router as a Backup before you can activate the virtual router on a
Brocade device. However, after you configure the virtual router, you can use the backup command
to change its priority or track priority.
The priority value option specifies the IPv4 VRRP-E priority for this virtual Backup router. You can
specify a value from 3 through 254. The default is 100.
The track-priority value option changes the track port priority of a Backup router. You can specify a
value from 1 through 254. The default is 2.
