accept-mode
Enables the non-Owner Master router to respond to ping, traceroute, and Telnet packets destined for
the virtual IPv4 or IPv6 address of a VRRP cluster.
Syntax accept-mode
no accept-mode
Command Default A VRRP non-Owner Master router does not respond to any packet destined for the virtual IPv4 or IPv6
address.
Modes VRRP configuration mode
Usage Guidelines The no form of this command causes the non-Owner Master router to not respond to any packet
destined for the virtual IPv4 or IPv6 address of the VRRP cluster.
A VRRP non-Owner Master router does not respond to any packet destined for the virtual IPv4 or IPv6
address. This prevents troubleshooting of network connections to this router using ping, traceroute, or
Telnet. To resolve this, you can use this command to enable this router to respond to ping, traceroute,
and Telnet packets destined for the virtual IPv4 or IPv6 address of a VRRP cluster. The router drops all
other packets destined for the virtual IPv4 or IPv6 address of the VRRP cluster.
Examples The following example shows the configuration of accept mode on an IPv6 Backup router.
Brocade(config)# interface ve 3
Brocade(config-vif-3)# ipv6 vrrp vrid 2
Brocade(config-vif-3-vrid-2)# backup
Brocade(config-vif-3-vrid-2)# advertise backup
Brocade(config-vif-3-vrid-2)# ipv6-address 2001:DB8::1
Brocade(config-vif-3-vrid-2)# accept-mode
Brocade(config-vif-3-vrid-2)# activate
