The following table describes the Virtual Router Group Configuration Menu options.

Table 166 Virtual Router Group Configuration Menu options

Command

Description

 

 

track

Displays the VRRP Priority Tracking Menu for the virtual router group. Tracking

 

is a proprietary extension to VRRP, used for modifying the standard priority

 

system used for electing the master router.

 

 

vrid <1-255>

Defines the virtual router ID.

 

The vrid for standard virtual routers (where the virtual router IP address is not

 

the same as any virtual server) can be any integer between 1 and 255. All

 

vrid values must be unique within the VLAN to which the virtual router’s IP

 

interface (see if below) belongs. The default virtual router ID is 1.

 

 

if <1-255>

Selects a switch IP interface (between 1 and 255). The default switch IP

 

interface number is 1.

 

 

prio <1-254>

Defines the election priority bias for this virtual router group. This can be any

 

integer between 1 and 254. The default value is 100.

 

During the master router election process, the routing device with the highest

 

virtual router priority number wins. If there is a tie, the device with the highest IP

 

interface address wins. If this virtual router’s IP address (addr) is the same as

 

the one used by the IP interface, the priority for this virtual router will

 

automatically be set to 255 (highest).

 

When priority tracking is used (/cfg/l3/vrrp/track or

 

/cfg/l3/vrrp/vr #/track), this base priority value can be modified

 

according to a number of performance and operational criteria.

 

 

adver <1-255>

Defines the time interval between VRRP master advertisements. This can be any

 

integer between 1 and 255 seconds. The default is 1.

 

 

preem disableenable

Enables or disables master preemption. When enabled, if the virtual router

 

group is in backup mode but has a higher priority than the current master, this

 

virtual router will preempt the lower priority master and assume control. Note

 

that even when preem is disabled, this virtual router will always preempt any

 

other master if this switch is the owner (the IP interface address and virtual

 

router addr are the same). By default, this option is enabled.

 

 

ena

Enables the virtual router group.

 

 

dis

Disables the virtual router group.

 

 

del

Deletes the virtual router group from the switch configuration.

 

 

cur

Displays the current configuration information for the virtual router group.
