if <interface number (1-127)>
Selects a switch IP interface. If the IP interface has the same IP address as the addr option above,
this switch is considered the “owner” of the defined virtual router. An owner has a special priority
of 255 (highest) and will always assume the role of master router, even if it must preempt another
virtual router which has assumed master routing authority. This preemption occurs even if the
preem
option below is disabled. The default value is 1.
prio <priority (1-254)>
Defines the election priority bias for this virtual server. This can be any integer between 1 and 254.
The default value is 100.
During the master router election process, the routing device with the highest virtual router priority
number wins. If there is a tie, the device with the highest IP interface address wins. If this virtual
router’s IP address (addr) is the same as the one used by the IP interface, the priority for this vir-
tual router will automatically be set to 255 (highest).
When priority tracking is used (/cfg/l3/vrrp/track or /cfg/l3/vrrp/vr #/track),
this base priority value can be modified according to a number of performance and operational cri-
teria.
adver <seconds (1-255)>
Defines the time interval between VRRP master advertisements. This can be any integer between 1
and 255 seconds. The default value is 1.
preem disable|enable
Enables or disables master preemption. When enabled, if this virtual router is in backup mode but
has a higher priority than the current master, this virtual router will preempt the lower priority mas-
ter and assume control. Note that even when preem is disabled, this virtual router will always pre-
empt any other master if this switch is the owner (the IP interface address and virtual router addr
are the same). By default, this option is enabled.
ena
Enables this virtual router.
dis
Disables this virtual router.
del
Deletes this virtual router from the switch configuration.
cur
Displays the current configuration information for this virtual router.
