Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) support on the HP 10GbE switch provides redundancy between routers in a LAN. This is accomplished by configuring the same virtual router IP address and ID number on each participating VRRP-capable routing device. One of the virtual routers is then elected as the master, based on a number of priority criteria, and assumes control of the shared virtual router IP address. If the master fails, one of the backup virtual routers will assume routing authority and take control of the virtual router IP address.

By default, VRRP is disabled. For more information on VRRP, see the “High Availability” chapter in the HP 10Gb Ethernet BL-c Switch Application Guide.

The following table describes the VRRP Configuration Menu options.

Table 161 VRRP Configuration Menu options

Command	Description
vr <1-250>	Displays the VRRP Virtual Router Menu. This menu is used for configuring virtual
	routers on this switch.
group	Displays the VRRP virtual router group menu, used to combine all virtual routers
	together as one logical entity. Group options must be configured when using two or
	more switches in a hot-standby failover configuration where only one switch is active
	at any given time.
if <1-249>	Displays the VRRP Virtual Router Interface Menu.
track	Displays the VRRP Tracking Menu. This menu is used for weighting the criteria used
	when modifying priority levels in the master router election process.
on	Globally enables VRRP on this switch.
off	Globally disables VRRP on this switch.
cur	Displays the current VRRP parameters.
