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

Table 154 Virtual Router Group Priority Tracking Configuration Menu options

Command

Description

 

 

ifs disableenable

When enabled, the priority for this virtual router will be increased for each

 

other IP interface active on this switch. An IP interface is considered active

 

when there is at least one active port on the same VLAN. This helps elect the

 

virtual routers with the most available routes as the master. This command is

 

disabled by default.

 

 

ports disableenable

When enabled, the priority for this virtual router will be increased for each

 

active port on the same VLAN. A port is considered “active” if it has a link and

 

is forwarding traffic. This helps elect the virtual routers with the most available

 

ports as the master. This command is disabled by default.

Displays the current configuration for priority tracking for this virtual router.

NOTE: This menu is available only on the GbE2c Layer 2/3 Ethernet Blade Switch.

This menu is used for configuring VRRP authentication parameters for the IP interfaces used with the virtual routers. The interface-number(1 to 255) represents the IP interface on which authentication parameters must be configured.

The following table describes the VRRP Interface Configuration Menu options.Table 155 VRRP Interface Configuration Menu options

Command

Description

 

 

auth nonepassword

Defines the type of authentication that will be used: none (no authentication),

 

or password (password authentication).

configuration

NOTE: This menu is available only on the GbE2c Layer 2/3 Ethernet Blade Switch.

This menu is used for setting weights for the various criteria used to modify priority levels during the master router election process. Each time one of the tracking criteria is met, the priority level for the virtual router is increased by an amount defined through this menu.
