VSRP
Virtual Switch Redundancy Protocol (VSRP) is a Brocade proprietary protocol that provides redundancy
and sub-second failover in Layer 2 and Layer 3 mesh topologies. Based on the Brocade Virtual Router
Redundancy Protocol Extended (VRRP-E), VSRP provides one or more backups for a Layer 2 Switch
or Layer 3 Switch. If the active Layer 2 Switch or Layer 3 Switch becomes unavailable, one of the
backups takes over as the active device and continues forwarding traffic for the network.
The FastIron family of switches support full VSRP as well as VSRP-awareness . A Brocade device that
is not itself configured for VSRP but is connected to a Brocade device that is configured for VSRP, is
VSRP aware .
NOTE
VSRP protocol is not supported on the Brocade ICX 6430-C devices. Only VSRP-awareness is
supported.
You can use VSRP for Layer 2, Layer 3, or for both layers. On Layer 3 Switches, Layer 2 and Layer 3
share the same VSRP configuration information. On Layer 2 Switches, VSRP applies only to Layer 2.
The following example shows an example of a VSRP configuration.
