NETGEAR 7000 Series Managed Switch Administration Guide Version 7.2

Example #1: Configure VRRP on a Master Router

The following is an example of configuring VRRP on a 7000 Series Managed Switch acting as the master router:

Enable routing for the switch. IP forwarding will then be enabled by default.

(Netgear Switch) #config

(Netgear Switch) (Config)#ip routing

Configure the IP addresses and subnet masks for the port that will particpate in the protocol.

(Netgear Switch) (Config)#interface 1/0/2 (Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/2)#routing

(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/2)#ip address 192.150.2.1 255.255.255.0 (Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/2)#exit

Enable VRRP for the switch.

(Netgear Switch) (Config)#ip vrrp

Assign virtual router IDs to the port that will particpate in the protocol.

(Netgear Switch) (Config)#interface 1/0/2 (Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/2)#ip vrrp 20

Specify the IP address that the virtual router function will rec- ognize. Note that the virtual IP address on port 1/0/2 is the same as the port’s actual IP address, therefore this router will always be the VRRP master when it is active. And the priority default is 255.

(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/2)#ip vrrp 20 ip 192.150.2.1

Enable VRRP on the port.

(Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/2)#ip vrrp 20 mode (Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/2)#exit (Netgear Switch) (Config)#exit
