Brocade FastIron Ethernet Switch Layer 3 Routing Configuration Guide - Manual (Page 604)

• The Hello interval must be set to the same value with in the same VRID.
• The dead interval must be set to the same value with in the same VRID.
• The track priority for a VRID must be lower than the VRRP-E priority.
Configuring IPv4 VRRP-E
VRRP-E is configured at the interface level. To implement a simple IPv4 VRRP-E configuration using
all the default values, enter commands such as the following on each Layer 3 switch.
Brocade(config)#router vrrp-extended
Brocade(config)#interface ethernet 1/5
Brocade(config-if-1/5)#ip-address 192.53.5.3
Brocade(config-if-1/5)#ip vrrp-extended vrid 1
Brocade(config-if-1/5-vrid-1)#backup
Brocade(config-if-1/5-vrid-1)#advertise backup
Brocade(config-if-1/5-vrid-1)#ip-address 192.53.5.254
Brocade(config-if-1/5-vrid-1)#activate
Syntax: [no] router vrrp-extended
Syntax: [no] ip-address ip-address
Syntax: [no] ip vrrp-extended vrid vrid
Syntax: no backup [ priority value ] [ track-priority value ]
Syntax: [no] advertise backup
Syntax: [no] activate
The vrid variable specifies the virtual router ID.
The ip-address variable specifies the IPv4 address of the router.
You must identify a VRRP-E router as a Backup before you can activate the virtual router on a
Brocade device. However, after you configure the virtual router, you can use the backup command to
change its priority or track priority.
The priority value option specifies the IPv4 VRRP-E priority for this virtual Backup router. You can
specify a value from 3 through 254. The default is 100.
The track-priority value option changes the track port priority of a Backup router. You can specify a
value from 1 through 254. The default is 5.
NOTE
You also can use the enable command to activate the configuration. This command does the same
thing as the activate command.
Configuring IPv6 VRRP-E
To implement an IPv6 VRRP-E configuration using all the default values, enter the following
commands.
NOTE
You must first configure the ipv6 unicast-routing command at the global configuration level to enable
IPv6 VRRP-E on the router.
Brocade(config)# ipv6 unicast-routing
