Configuring additional VRRP and VRRP-E parameters
Brocade(config-if-e10000-1/5)# ip vrrp vrid 1
Brocade(config-if-e10000-1/5-vrid-1)# dead-interval msec 600
Syntax: [no] dead-interval [msec] value
The Dead interval can be from 100 through 84000 milliseconds. The default is 3500 milliseconds.
The syntax is the same for VRRP and VRRP-E.
NOTE
VRRP-E does not support the Dead interval timer if it is set to milliseconds.
Backup hello message state and interval
By default, Backup do not send Hello messages to advertise themselves to the Master. You can
enable these messages if desired and also change the message interval.
To enable a Backup to send Hello messages to the Master, enter the following commands.
Brocade(config)# router vrrp
Brocade(config)# interface ethernet 1/6
Brocade(config-if-e10000-1/6)# ip vrrp vrid 1
Brocade(config-if-e10000-1/6-vrid-1)# advertise backup
Syntax: [no] advertise backup
When you enable a Backup to send Hello messages, the Backup sends a Hello messages to the
Master every 60 seconds by default. You can change the interval to be up to 3600 seconds. To do
so, enter the following commands.
Brocade(config)# router vrrp
Brocade(config)# interface ethernet 1/6
Brocade(config-if-e10000-1/6)# ip vrrp vrid 1
Brocade(config-if-e10000-1/6-vrid-1)# backup-hello-interval 180
Syntax: [no] backup-hello-interval num
The num parameter specifies the message interval and can be from 60 through 3600 seconds.
The default is 60 seconds.
The syntax is the same for VRRP and VRRP-E.
Track port
You can configure the virtual router to track the link state of interfaces on the Brocade device. This
capability is quite useful for tracking the state of the exit interface for the path for which the virtual
router is providing redundancy. Refer to
“Track ports and track priority” on page 780.
To configure 1/6 on Router1 to track interface 2/4, enter the following commands.
Brocade(config)# interface ethernet 1/6
Brocade(config-if-e10000-1/6)# ip vrrp vrid 1
Brocade(config-if-e10000-1/6-vrid-1)# track-port ethernet 2/4
Syntax: [no] track-port ethernet slot/portnum | ve num [priority num]
The syntax is the same for VRRP and VRRP-E.
