• Brocade supports two VRRP protocols:
‐
Standard VRRP — The standard router redundancy protocol, VRRP v2 supports the IPv4
environment. Also, the Brocade version of standard VRRP is compliant with RFC 3768.
‐
VRRP-E (Extended) — A Brocade proprietary protocol similar to standard VRRP that is not
standard compliant and cannot interoperate with VRRP.
• Supported ports:
‐
For VRRP — fortygigabitethernet, tengigabitethernet, gigabitethernet, and ve.
‐
For VRRP-E — ve ports only.
• Only IPv4 support is provided. IPv6 and VRRPv3 are not supported.
• Maximum number of supported configured VRRP and VRRP-E instances (an instance is a session
configured on a router):
‐
Brocade VDX 8770: 1,024
‐
Brocade VDX 6740, 6740T, and 6740T-1GT: 255
‐
Brocade VDX 6710, VDX 6720, and VDX 6730: 64.
• The maximum number of virtual IP addresses per virtual router session is 16 for VRRP and one for
VRRP-E.
Configuring VRRP
Configuring basic VRRP
You can implement the IPv4 VRRP configuration shown in
on page 597 by
entering just a few commands. This section contains information for configuring each router shown in
on page 597. This is for a VCS fabric cluster mode environment.
Configuring Router 1 as master for VRRP
1. From the Router 1 switch (host name sw1 for this example) console, in privileged EXEC mode,
enter configuration mode by issuing the configure command.
sw1# configure
2. Enter the rbridge-id command, using the RBridge ID (which has an asterisk next to it when you run
a do show vcs command).
sw1(config)# rbridge-id 101
3. Globally enable both the VRRP and VRRP-E protocols.
sw1(config-rbridge-id-101)# protocol vrrp
4. Configure the tengigabitethernet interface link for Router 1.
sw1(config-rbridge-id-101)# int te 101/1/6
5. Configure the IP address of the interface.
sw1(conf-if-te-101/1/6)# ip address 192.53.5.1/24
6. Assign Router 1 to a group called Group 1.
sw1(conf-if-te-101/1/6)# vrrp-group 1
