14 Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol

Assign virtual router IDs to the port that will participate in the protocol.

config interface 0/2 ip vrrp 20

Specify the IP address that the virtual router function will recognize. Note that the virtual IP address on port 0/2 is the same as the port’s actual IP address, therefore this router will always be the VRRP master when it is active. And the priority default is 255.

ip vrrp 20 ip 192.150.2.1

Enable VRRP on the port.

ip vrrp 20 mode exit

Example 2: Configuring VRRP on the Switch as a Backup Router

Enable routing for the switch. IP forwarding is then enabled by default.

config

ip routing exit

Configure the IP addresses and subnet masks for the port that will participate in the protocol.

config interface 0/4 routing

ip address 192.150.4.1 255.255.255.0 exit

Enable VRRP for the switch.

config

ip vrrp 20 exit

Assign virtual router IDs to the port that will participate in the protocol.

config interface 0/4 ip vrrp 20

Specify the IP address that the virtual router function will recognize. Since the virtual IP address on port 0/4 is the same as Router 1’s port 0/2 actual IP address, this router will always be the VRRP backup when Router 1 is active.

ip vrrp 20 ip 192.150.2.1

Set the priority for the port. The default priority is 100.

ip vrrp 20 priority 254
