Brocade Network OS Administrator’s Guide v4.1.1 - Manual (Page 603)

NOTE
You can assign a group number in the range of 1 through 255.
7. Assign a virtual router IP address.
sw1(config-vrrp-group-1)# virtual-ip 192.53.5.1
NOTE
For VRRP, the physical router whose IP address is the same as the virtual router group IP address
becomes the owner and master. However, for VRRP-E, you use the priority command to assign the
highest priority to the router you want as master.
Configuring Router 2 as backup for VRRP
1. From the Router 2 switch (host name sw2 for this example) console, in privileged EXEC mode, enter
configuration mode by issuing the configure command.
sw2# 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).
sw2(config)# rbridge-id 102
3. Globally enable both the VRRP and VRRP-E protocols.
sw2(config-rbridge-id-102)# protocol vrrp
4. Configure the tengigabitethernet interface for Router 2.
sw1(config-rbridge-id-102)# int te 102/1/5
5. Configure the IP address of interface:
sw2(conf-if-te-102/1/5)# ip address 192.53.5.3/24
NOTE
This router will become the backup router to Router 1.
6. Assign Router 2 to the same VRRP group as Router 1.
sw2(conf-if-te-102/1/5)# vrrp-group 1
7. To assign Group 1 a virtual IP address, use the same virtual IP addresses you used for Router 1.
sw2(config-vrrp-group-1)# virtual-ip 192.53.5.1
Understanding VRRP-E differences for basic configuration
If you were to configure the two routers shown in Basic VRRP topology on page 597, you would need to
consider the following items specific to VRRP-E:
• On the Brocade VDX 8770, 6710, 6720, and 6730 platforms, the protocol vrrp command enables
both VRRP and VRRP-E.
• On the Brocade VDX 6740 series platforms, the protocol vrrp command enables only VRRP; the
protocol vrrp-extended command enables only VRRP-E. VRRP and VRRP-E cannot be
simultaneously enabled on the VDX 6740 series platforms.
• The group command for VRRP-E is vrrp-extended-group group-id
• VRRP-E virtual routers can be configured on Ve interfaces only.
