Dell 6200 SERIES manual Configuring Vrrp on the Switch as a Master Router

Configuring VRRP on the Switch as a Master Router

1Enable routing for the switch. IP forwarding is then enabled by default. console#config

console(config)#ip routing

2Configure the IP addresses and subnet masks for the VLAN routing interface that will participate in the protocol:

console(config)#interface vlan 50 console(config-if-vlan50)#ip address 192.150.2.1 255.255.255.0 console(config-if-vlan50)#exit

3Enable VRRP for the switch: console(config)#ip vrrp

4Assign the virtual router ID to the interface that will participate in the protocol: console(config)#interface vlan 50 console(config-if-vlan50)#ip vrrp 20

5Specify the IP address that the virtual router function will recognize. The interface IP address is the same as the virtual IP address. This means the router is the interface owner and therefore has a priority of 255, which guarantees that it is the master.

console(config-if-vlan50)#ip vrrp 20 ip 192.150.2.1

6Start the virtual router on the interface: console(config-if-vlan50)#ip vrrp 20 mode console(config-if-vlan50)#exit

Configuring VRRP on the Switch as a Backup Router

1Enable routing for the switch. IP forwarding is then enabled by default. console#config

2Configure the IP addresses and subnet masks for the port that will participate in the protocol: console(config)#interface vlan 50 console(config-if-vlan50)#ip address 192.150.2.20 255.255.255.0 console(config-if-vlan50)#exit

3Enable VRRP for the switch. console(config)#ip vrrp
