Removing a port from the VRID’s VLAN
By default, all the ports in the VLAN on which you configure a VRID are interfaces for the VRID. You
can remove a port from the VRID while allowing it to remain in the VLAN.
Removing a port is useful in the following cases:
•
There is no risk of a loop occurring, such as when the port is attached directly to an end host.
•
You plan to use a port in a Foundry MRP ring.
To remove a port from a VRID, enter a command such as the following at the configuration level for
the VRID.
Brocade(config-vlan-200-vrid-1)# no include-port ethernet 1/2
Syntax: [no] include-port ethernet slot/portnum
The ethernet slot/portnum parameter specifies the port you are removing from the VRID. The port
remains in the VLAN but its forwarding state is not controlled by VSRP.
Changing the backup priority
When you enter the backup command to configure the device as a VSRP Backup for the VRID, you
also can change the backup priority and the track priority:
•
The backup priority is used for election of the Master. The VSRP Backup with the highest
priority value for the VRID is elected as the Master for that VRID. The default priority is 100. If
two or more Backups are tied with the highest priority, the Backup with the highest IP address
becomes the Master for the VRID.
•
The track priority is used with the track port feature. Refer to
and
“Changing the default track priority”
To change the backup priority, enter a command such as the following at the configuration level for
the VRID.
Brocade(config-vlan-200-vrid-1)# backup priority 75
Syntax: [no] backup [priority value] [track-priority value]
The priority value parameter specifies the VRRP priority for this interface and VRID. You can specify
a value from 8– 255. The default is 100.
For a description of the track-priority value parameter, refer to
“Changing the default track priority”
Saving the timer values received from the Master
The Hello messages sent by a VRID’s master contain the VRID values for the following VSRP timers:
•
Hello interval
•
Dead interval
•
Backup Hello interval
•
Hold-down interval
By default, each Backup saves the configured timer values to its startup configuration file when you
save the device’s configuration.
