Configuring parameters specific to VRRP

VRRP is configured at the interface level. To implement a simple VRRP configuration using all the
default values, enter commands such as the following.

Configuring the owner

To configure the VRRP Owner router, enter the following commands on the router that will be the
Owner.

Router1(config)# router vrrp

Router1(config)# interface ethernet 1/6

Router1(config-if-e10000-1/6)# ip default-network 192.53.5.1

Router1(config-if-e10000-1/6)# ip vrrp vrid 1

Router1(config-if-e10000-1/6-vrid-1)# owner

Router1(config-if-e10000-1/6-vrid-1)# ip-address 192.53.5.1

Router1(config-if-e10000-1/6-vrid-1)# activate

Syntax: router vrrp

Syntax: ip vrrp vrid <num>

Syntax: owner [track-priority <value>]

Syntax: activate

The track-priority <value> parameter changes the track-port priority for this interface and VRID
from the default (2) to a value from 1 – 254.

Syntax: ip-address <ip-addr>

The IP address you assign to the Owner must be an IP address configured on an interface that
belongs to the virtual router.

Refer to

“Configuration rules for VRRP”

on page 465 for additional requirements.

Track port

Another device port or virtual interface whose link status is
tracked by the VRID’s interface.
If the link for a tracked interface goes down, the VRRP or VRRPE
priority of the VRID interface is changed, causing the devices to
renegotiate for Master.

None

Track priority

A VRRP or VRRPE priority value assigned to the tracked ports. If a
tracked port’s link goes down, the VRID port’s VRRP or VRRPE
priority changes.

VRRP – The priority changes to the value of the tracked
port’s priority.

VRRPE – The VRID port’s priority is reduced by the amount of
the tracked port’s priority.

VRRP – 2
VRRPE – 5

Backup preempt
mode

Prevents a Backup with a higher VRRP priority from taking control
of the VRID from another Backup that has a lower priority but has
already assumed control of the VRID.

Enabled
