Syntax: [no] ip-address ip-address
Syntax: [no] ip vrrp vrrp vrid num

The ip-address variable specifies the IP address of the Backup router, the router interface on which you
are configuring the VRID must have a unique IP address that is in the same subnet as the address
associated with the VRID of the Owner.
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.
The hello interval value specifies the time in seconds or milliseconds.
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.
The version num specifies the version - v3 or v2.
Configuring a Backup for IPv6 VRRP
To configure the VRRP Backup router for IPv6, enter the following commands.
device Router2(config)# ipv6 router vrrp
device Router2(config)# interface ethernet 1/5
device Router2(config-if-e10000-1/5)# ipv6-address 2001:DB8::3/64
device Router2(config-if-e10000-1/5)# ipv6 vrrp vrid 1
device Router2(config-if-e10000-1/5-vrid-1)# backup
device Router2(config-if-e10000-1/5-vrid-1)# advertise backup
device Router2(config-if-e10000-1/5-vrid-1)# ipv6-address 2001:DB8::1
device Router2(config-if-e10000-1/5-vrid-1)# activate
The ipv6-address variable specifies the IPv6 address of the Backup router, the router interface on which
you are configuring the VRID must have a unique IP address that is in the same subnet as the address
associated with the VRID of the Owner.
Syntax: [no] ipv6 router vrrp
Syntax: [no] ipv6-address ipv6-addr
Syntax: [no] ipv6 vrrp vrid num
Syntax: [no] backup [ priority value ] [ track-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 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.
