Configuration of Router R2

The following is the configuration file for Router R2 in Figure 19.

1:interface create ip test address-netmask 10.0.0.2/16 port et.1.1

!

2:ip-redundancy create vrrp 1 interface test

3:ip-redundancy create vrrp 2 interface test

4:ip-redundancy create vrrp 3 interface test

!

5:ip-redundancy associate vrrp 1 interface test address 10.0.0.1/16

6:ip-redundancy associate vrrp 2 interface test address 10.0.0.2/16

7:ip-redundancy associate vrrp 3 interface test address 10.0.0.3/16

!

8:ip-redundancy set vrrp 1 interface test priority 200

9:ip-redundancy set vrrp 3 interface test priority 100

!

10:ip-redundancy start vrrp 1 interface test

11:ip-redundancy start vrrp 2 interface test

12:ip-redundancy start vrrp 3 interface test

Line 8 sets the backup priority for virtual router VRID=1 to 200. Since this number is higher than Router R3’s backup priority for virtual router VRID=1, Router R2 is the primary Backup and Router R3 is the secondary Backup for virtual router VRID=1.

On line 9, the backup priority for virtual router VRID=3 is set to 100. Since Router R1’s backup priority for this virtual router is 200, Router R1 is the primary Backup and Router R2 is the secondary Backup for virtual router VRID=3.

The following table shows the priorities for each virtual router configured on Router R2.
