Configuration examples
VRRP router 1 for this interface is activating
Brocade(config-if-e10000-1/6-vrid-1)# exit
Brocade(config)# interface ethernet 1/6
Brocade(config-if-e10000-1/6)# ipv6 vrrp-extended vrid 2
Brocade(config-if-e10000-1/6-vrid-1)# ipv6-address 1414:1414:1414::44
Brocade(config-if-e10000-1/6-vrid-1)# activate
VRRP router 2 for this interface is activating
NOTE
The address you enter with the ipv6-address command cannot be the same as a real IP address
configured on the interface.
NOTE
If VRRP is not configured globally, then you will see the response “Invalid input...” when you try to
create a VRRP instance.
Configuring router2
To configure Router2, enter the following commands.
Brocade(config)# ipv6 router vrrp-extended
Brocade(config)# interface ethernet 5/1
Brocade(config-if-e10000-5/1)# ipv6 address 1414:1414:1414::4/64
Brocade(config-if-e10000-5/1)# ipv6 vrrp-extended vrid 1
Brocade(config-if-e10000-5/1-vrid-1)# ipv6-address 1414:1414:1414::45
Brocade(config-if-e10000-5/1-vrid-1)# activate
Brocade(config-if-e10000-5/1-vrid-1)# exit
Brocade(config)# interface ethernet 5/1
Brocade(config-if-e10000-5/1)# ipv6 vrrp-extended vrid 2
Brocade(config-if-e10000-5/1-vrid-1)# ipv6-address 1414:1414:1414::44
Brocade(config-if-e10000-5/1-vrid-1)# activate
The backup command specifies that this router is a VRRP-E Backup for virtual router VRID1. The IP
address entered with the ipv6-address VRRP-E command is the same IP address as the one
entered when configuring Router1. In this case, the IP address cannot also exist on Router2, but
the interface on which you are configuring the virtual router Backup must have an IP address in the
same subnet. By entering the same IP address as the one associated with this virtual router on the
Owner, you are configuring the Backup to back up the address, but you are not duplicating the
address.
NOTE
When you configure a Backup router, the router interface on which you are configuring the virtual
router must have a real IP address that is in the same subnet as the address associated with the
virtual router by the Owner. However, the address cannot be the same.
The priority parameter establishes the router’s VRRP-E priority in relation to the other VRRP-E
routers in this virtual router.
The activate command activates the virtual router configuration on this interface. The interface
does not provide backup service for the virtual IP address until you activate the VRRP-E
configuration. Alternatively, you can use the enable command. The activate and enable commands
do the same thing.
