Configuration rules and feature limitations
for VRRP
Consider the following rules when configuring VRRP:
•
The interfaces of all routers in a virtual router must be in the same IP subnet:
•
The IP addresses associated with the virtual router must already be configured on the router
that will be the Owner router.
•
The IP address for the virtual router must be on only one router.
•
The Hello interval must be set to the same value on both the Owner and Backups for the virtual
router.
•
The Dead interval must be set to the same value on both the Owner and Backups for the virtual
router.
•
The track priority on a router must be lower than the router’s VRRP priority. Also, the track
priority on the Owner must be higher than the track priority on the Backups.
•
The tracking-port configuration for IPv6 VRRP v3 is not allowed if the router is configured as the
VRRP Owner.
•
The priority configuration for IPv6 VRRP v3 is not allowed for Owner router. The Owner router's
priority is always 255.
•
Hitless switchover is not supported.
•
The ping command is not supported for VRRP virtual IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
•
Mixed mode VRRP v2 and VRRP v3 is not supported in the same VRRP group.
•
With VRRP or VRRP-E the maximum numbers of VRIDs per logical interface is 12.
Configuring parameters specific to VRRP-E
The following sections describe the configuration of the parameters specific to IPv4 and IPv6
VRRP-E.
Configuring IPv4 VRRP-E
VRRP-E is configured at the interface level. To implement a simple IPv4 VRRP-E configuration using
all the default values, enter the following commands.
