Configuring parameters specific to VRRP
The IP address you assign to the Owner must be an IP address configured on an interface that
belongs to the virtual router.
“Configuration rules and feature limitations for VRRP”
on page 790 for additional
requirements.
Configuring a Backup for IPv4
To configure the VRRP Backup router for IPv4, enter the following commands.
Brocade2(config)# router vrrp
Brocade2(config)# interface ethernet 1/5
Brocade2(config-if-e10000-1/5)# ip address 10.53.5.3/24
Brocade2(config-if-e10000-1/5)# ip vrrp vrid 1
Brocade2(config-if-e10000-1/5-vrid-1)# backup
Brocade2(config-if-1/5-vrid-1)# advertise backup
Brocade2(config-if-e10000-1/5-vrid-1)# ip-address 10.53.5.1
Brocade2(config-if-e10000-1/5-vrid-1)# activate
When you configure a Backup router, the router interface on which you are configuring the VRID
must have a real IP address that is in the same subnet as the address associated with the VRID by
the Owner. However, the address cannot be the same.
Syntax: [no] router vrrp
Syntax: [no] ip vrrp vrid num
Syntax: [no] backup [priority value] [track-priority value]
The num parameter specifies the virtual router ID.
The priority value parameter specifies the VRRP priority for this virtual router. You can specify a
value from 3 through 254. The default is 100.
Enter a value from 3 through 254 for the track-priority value parameter if you want VRRP to monitor
the state of the interface. The default is 100.
Syntax: [no] ip-address ip-addr

requirements.
Configuring a Backup for IPv6
To configure the VRRP Backup router for IPv6, enter the following commands.
Brocade2(config)# ipv6 router vrrp
Brocade2(config)# interface ethernet 1/5
Brocade2(config-if-e10000-1/5)# ipv6 address 3013::3/64
Brocade2(config-if-e10000-1/5)# ipv6 vrrp vrid 1
Brocade2(config-if-e10000-1/5-vrid-1)# backup
Brocade2(config-if-1/5-vrid-1)# advertise backup
Brocade2(config-if-e10000-1/5-vrid-1)# ipv6-address 3013::1
Brocade2(config-if-e10000-1/5-vrid-1)# activate
When you configure a Backup router, the router interface on which you are configuring the VRID
must have a real IP address that is in the same subnet as the address associated with the VRID by
the Owner. However, the address cannot be the same.
Syntax: [no] ipv6 router vrrp
