Configuring parameters specific to VRRP
Configuring parameters specific to VRRP
VRRP is configured at the interface level. This section describes how to implement a simple VRRP
configuration using all the default values.
NOTE
When you use the command router vrrp to enter the VRRP configuration mode, the command
prompt does not change and results in the general configuration command prompt as shown in the
following:
Brocade
(config)#
This differs from entering the VRRP extended mode where entering the router vrrp-extended
command results in a command prompt such as the following:
Brocade
(config-vrrpe-router)#
Configuring the VRRP version
You can specify the version for the VRRP instance. For example, use the following command to
configure the instance of VRRP to use VRRP v3.
Brocade(config-if-e100-1/3-vrid-13)# version v3
Syntax: [no] version v2 I v3
•
VRRP v2 supports IPv4 environment
•
VRRP v3 supports IPv4 and IPv6 environment
The default configuration is VRRP v2.
Backup preempt
mode
Prevents a Backup with a higher VRRP priority from
taking control of the VRID from another Backup that
has a lower priority but has already assumed control
of the VRID.
Enabled
Slow Start
Causes a specified amount of time to elapse between
the time the original Master router is restored and
when it takes over from the Backup router. For VRRP-E
only.
Disabled
Scale Timer
Allows you to increase timing sensitivity across all
configured or default VRRP-Extended timers. For
VRRP-E only.
Disabled
Short-Path-
Forwarding
Enables VRRP-E Extension for Server Virtualization. If
enabled, the traffic that is destined to the clients will
travel through the short-path forwarding path (dashed
line) to reach the client (as shown in Figure 24.4 on
page 24-30). Any packets coming from the local
subnet of the virtual IP address will be routed to the
VRRP-E master router. For example, with VRRP-E
Extension for Server Virtualization enabled, the
traceroute output will show one extra hop that display
the Backup router's interface IP address
Disabled
