110IP Routing Configuration and Management

ip vrrp priority command

The ip vrrp priority command is used to assign a priority to a virtual router.

The syntax of the ip vrrp priority command is:

ip vrrp <vr_id> priority <priority_value>

The <vr_id> parameter represents the virtual router being configured. The <priority_value> parameter represents the priority assigned to the virtual router. This is a value between 1 and 255.

The ip vrrp priority command is executed in the Interface

Configuration mode.

show ip vrrp command

The show ip vrrp command is used to display VRRP configuration information and statistics.

The syntax of the show ip vrrp command is:

show ip vrrp [address] [interface]

Use either the address key word to display address-related VRRP information or interface to display interface-related VRRP information. Using neither displays basic global configuration information.

The command is executed in the Global Configuration mode.

Equal Cost MultiPath (ECMP) commands

The Equal Cost MultiPath (ECMP) feature allows routers to determine equal cost paths to the same destination prefix. The multiple paths can be used for load sharing of traffic and allows faster convergence to other active paths in case of network failure. This section describes the CLI commands used to configure ECMP on the switch.

Note: ECMP is only supported on the Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5520 and 5530. ECMP will work in a mixed stack but will not run on any Nortel Ethernet Routing Switch 5510 units in the stack.

rip maximum-path command

The rip maximum-pathcommand is used to configure the number of ECMP paths allotted for the Routing Information Protocol (RIP).

The syntax of the rip maximum-pathcommand is:

rip maximum-path <path_count>
