VRRP configuration

The VRRP configuration establishes the .100 addresses on VLANs 10, 20, 35, and 46. The server blades and Core routers must also be configured to be aware of these addresses.

Configuration for GbESMs

The configuration in Example 7-23enables VRRP globally and creates four instances of VRRP, one for each of the VLANs 10, 20, 35, and 46. VRRP priority is set to 101 instead of the default of 100 to ensure that GbESM 1 will be the VRRP master for all four VLANs. The two switches use identical configurations except where noted.

Note: The vr numbers configured in the sample are unique to the switch and are purely local instance numbers. The vrid numbers must be the same on all switches which work together and must be unique to that group of switches on the VLAN where they are used.

Example 7-23 VRRP Configuration for GbESMs

/* turn VRRP on and then create VRRP instances /cfg/l3/vrrp/on

/cfg/l3/vrrp/vr 1 vrid 1

if 10

addr 10.10.0.100 prio 101

/* the above is only on GbESM 1; defaults to 100 on GbESM 2 ena

/cfg/l3/vrrp/vr 2 vrid 2

if 20

addr 10.20.0.100 prio 101

/* the above is only on GbESM 1; defaults to 100 on GbESM 2 ena

/cfg/l3/vrrp/vr 3 vrid 3

if 35

addr 10.35.0.100 prio 101

/* the above is only on GbESM 1; defaults to 100 on GbESM 2 ena

/cfg/l3/vrrp/vr 4 vrid 4

if 46

addr 10.46.0.100 prio 101

/* the above is only on GbESM 1; defaults to 100 on GbESM 2 ena
