7. In interface configuration mode, enter the vrrp-extended-group command.
switch(config-Ve-10)# vrrp-extended-group 100
8. In group configuration mode, enter the short-path-forwarding command.
switch(config-vrrp-extended-group-100)# short-path-forwarding
Configuring multigroup VRRP routing
Refer also to VRRP multigroup clusters on page 598.
Configuring a multi-group virtual router cluster
To implement the configuration shown in the figure in VRRP multigroup clusters on page 598, configure
one VRRP-E router to act as a master in the first virtual router group and a backup in the second virtual
group. Then configure the second VRRP-E router to act as a backup in the first virtual group and master
in the second virtual group.
NOTE
This example is for VRRP-E. There are minor syntax differences for VRRP, which you can determine by
consulting Network OS Command Reference for Network OS 3.0 or later. This example is for a VCS
fabric cluster mode environment.
Configuring Router 1 as master for first virtual router group
Make sure that VCS is enabled and then perform these steps:
1. Enter the rbridge-id command, using the RBridge ID (which has an asterisk next to it when you run a
do show vcs command).
sw101(config)# rbridge-id 101
2. Configure the VRRP-E protocol globally.
sw101(config-rbridge-id-101)# protocol vrrp
3. Configure the Ve interface link for Router 1.
sw101(config-rbridge-id-101)# int ve 10
NOTE
You first would need to create int vlan 10 in global configuration mode.
4. Configure the IP address of the Ve link for Router 1.
sw101(conf-Ve-10)# ip address 192.53.5.2/24
5. To assign Router 1 to a VRRP-E group called Group 1, enter the command:
sw101(conf-Ve-10)# vrrp-extended-group 1
6. Configure the tengigabitethernet port 101/2/4 as the tracking port for the interface ve 15, with a track
priority of 20.
sw101(config-vrrp-extended-group-1)# track te 101/2/4 priority 20
7. Configure an IP address for the virtual router.
sw101(config-vrrp-extended-group-1)# virtual-ip 192.53.5.254
