Configuration examples
NOTE
When you configure a Backup router, the router interface on which you are configuring the VRID
must have a real IP address that i s in the same subnet as the address associated with the VRID by
the Owner. However, the address cannot be the same.
The priority parameter establishes the router VRRP priority in relation to the other VRRP routers in
this virtual router. The track-priority parameter specifies the new VRRP priority that the router
receives for this VRID if the interface goes down. Refer to “Track ports and track priority” on
page416.
The activate command activates the VRID configuration on this interface. The interface does not
provide backup service for the virtual IP address until you activate the VRRP configuration.
Alternatively, you can use the enable command. The activate and enable commands do the same
thing.

VRRP-E example
To implement the VRRP-E configuration shown in Figure32 on page 419, use the following CLI
method.

Configuring Switch 1

To configure VRRP Switch 1 in Figure32 on page 419, enter the following commands.
Brocade Switch1(config)#router vrrp-extended
Brocade Switch1(config)#interface ethernet 1/1/6
Brocade Switch1(config-if-e10000-1/1/6)#ip-address 192.168.5.2/24
Brocade Switch1(config-if-e10000-1/1/6)#ip vrrp-extended vrid 1
Brocade Switch1(config-if-e10000-1/1/6-vrid-1)#backup priority 110 track-priority
20
Brocade Switch1(config-if-e10000-1/1/6-vrid-1)#track-port ethernet 1/1/4
Brocade Switch1(config-if-e10000-1/1/6-vrid-1)#ip-address 192.168.5.254
Brocade Switch1(config-if-e10000-1/1/6-vrid-1)#activate
VRRP router 1 for this interface is activating
Brocade Switch1(config-if-e10000-1/1/6)#
Brocade-Switch1(config-if-e10000-1/1/6)#ip vrrp-e vrid 2
Brocade-Switch1(config-if-e10000-1/1/6-vrid-2)#backup priority 100 track-priority
20
Brocade-Switch1(config-if-e10000-1/1/6-vrid-2)#track-port ethernet 1/1/4
Brocade-Switch1(config-if-e10000-1/1/6-vrid-2)#ip-address 192.168.5.253
Brocade-Switch1(config-if-e10000-1/1/6-vrid-2)#activate
VRRPE router 2 for this interface is activating
