This menu is used for configuring virtual routers for this switch. A virtual router is defined by its virtual router ID and an IP address. On each VRRP-capable routing device participating in redundancy for this virtual router, a virtual router will be configured to share the same virtual router ID and IP address.

Virtual routers are disabled by default.

The following table describes the Virtual Router Configuration Menu options.

Command

Description

 

 

track

Displays the VRRP Priority Tracking Menu for this virtual router. Tracking is a

 

proprietary extension to VRRP, used for modifying the standard priority

 

system used for electing the master router.

 

 

vrid <1-250>

Defines the virtual router ID. This is used in conjunction with addr (below) to

 

define a virtual router on this switch. To create a pool of VRRP-enabled

 

routing devices which can provide redundancy to each other, each

 

participating VRRP device must be configured with the same virtual router:

 

one that shares the same vrid and addr combination.

 

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 250.

 

The default value is 1.

 

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

 

IP interface belongs.

 

 

addr <IP address>

Defines the IP address for this virtual router using dotted decimal notation.

 

This is used in conjunction with the vrid (above) to configure the same

 

virtual router on each participating VRRP device. The default address is

 

0.0.0.0.

 

 

if <1-249>

Selects a switch IP interface. If the IP interface has the same IP address as the

 

addr option above, this switch is considered the “owner” of the defined

 

virtual router. An owner has a special priority of 255 (highest) and will

 

always assume the role of master router, even if it must preempt another

 

virtual router which has assumed master routing authority. This preemption

 

occurs even if the preem option below is disabled. The default value is 1.
