VRRP on a Master Router

This example shows how to configure the M4100 and M7100 Managed Switch to support VRRP. Router 1 is the default master router for the virtual route, and Router 2 is the backup router.

CLI: Configure VRRP on a Master Router

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

(Netgear Switch) #config

(Netgear Switch) (Config)#ip routing

2.Configure the IP addresses and subnet masks for the port that will participate 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 192.150.2.1 255.255.0.0 (Netgear Switch) (Interface 1/0/2)#exit

3.Enable VRRP for the switch.

(Netgear Switch) (Config)#ip vrrp

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

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

5.Specify the IP address that the virtual router function will recognize. 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. The default priority is 255.

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

6.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
