Brocade ICX 6650 Layer 3 Routing Configuration Guide

Basic VRRP parameter configuration

Syntax: [no] ip-address ip-addr

Syntax: [no] ip vrrp vrid num

Syntax: [no] backup [priority value] [track-priority value]

Syntax: [no] advertise backup

Syntax: [no] activate

When you configure a Backup router, the router interface on which you are configuring the VRID
must have a real IP address that is in the same subnet as the address associated with the VRID by
the Owner. However, the address cannot be the same.

The num variable specifies the virtual router ID.

The priority value option specifies the VRRP priority for this virtual router. You can specify a value
from 3 through 254. The default is 100.

The track-priority value option specifies that VRRP monitors the state of the interface. You can
specify a value from 3 through 254. The default is 100.

By default, Backup routers do not send Hello messages to advertise themselves to the Master. The
advertise backup command is used to enable a Backup router to send Hello messages to the
Master.

Configuring a Backup for IPv6 VRRP

To configure the VRRP Backup router for IPv6, enter the following commands.

Brocade Router2(config)# ipv6 router vrrp

Brocade Router2(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/5

Brocade Router2(config-if-e10000-1/1/5)# ipv6-address 2001:db8::3/64

Brocade Router2(config-if-e10000-1/1/5)# ipv6 vrrp vrid 1

Brocade Router2(config-if-e10000-1/1/5-vrid-1)# backup

Brocade Router2(config-if-e10000-1/1/5-vrid-1)# advertise backup

Brocade Router2(config-if-e10000-1/1/5-vrid-1)# ipv6-address 2001:db8::1

Brocade Router2(config-if-e10000-1/1/5-vrid-1)# activate

When you configure a Backup router, the router interface on which you are configuring the VRID
must have a real IP address that is in the same subnet as the address associated with the VRID by
the Owner. However, the address cannot be the same.

Syntax: [no] ipv6 router vrrp

Syntax: [no] ipv6-address ipv6-addr

Syntax: [no] ipv6 vrrp vrid num

Syntax: [no] backup [priority value]

Syntax: [no] advertise backup

Syntax: [no] activate

The ipv6-addr variable specifies the IPv6 address of the Backup router.

The num variable specifies the virtual router ID.

The priority value option specifies the IPv6 VRRP priority for this virtual Backup router. You can
specify a value from 3 through 254. The default is 100.
