the –i option.

-s

Toggle preemption mode (Enabled by default). Preemption

means that a Master switch will go to Backup if a current
Backup has higher priority.

-M

Become MASTER when priority is equal. Be sure it is only

set on one host or the switches will oscillate. Must set –B
option on other hosts (requires preemption mode ! -s)

-B

Become BACKUP when priority is equal. See -M option

-S <script>

script to be called when state change occurs.

-a <auth> (not yet implemented) set the authentication type

auth=(none|pass/hexkey|ah/hexkey) hexkey=0x[0-9a-fA-F]+

-p <prio> Set the priority of this host in the virtual server
(default is 100)

-f <piddir>

specify the directory where the pid file is

stored (default is /var/run)

-c <conf> Configuration read from conf file (required when
managing multiple Virtual Routers). The contents of the conf

file are lines of command line options. Each line represents
a Virtual Router. Parameters given on the command line apply

to all Virtual Routers defined by the conf file. So for
example, if the command line reads:

vrrpd –d 50 –c vrrpd.conf

And the vrrpd.conf file contains:

-v 1 –i zhp0 –I zhp3 10.0.0.43

-v 2 –i zhp1 –I zhp3 11.0.0.42

vrrpd would be started controlling two Virtual Routers; one

for 10.0.0.43 and the other for 11.0.0.42. They would both
get a –d 50 option.

-d <delay> Set the advertisement interval. Default is 1

second. By default time is specified in seconds. If the
delay value ends in a lower case ‘m’ the time is specified in

milliseconds. The millisecond specification results in a
proprietary use of the VRRP Adver Int field.

-m <address>

Change the virtual MAC address from

00:00:5E:00:01:<vid> to the provided addr. The addr should be
input as 6 two digit hex numbers that are colon delimited with

no spaces. The –n option overrides the change made with –m.
