Configuring BGP VPNs on a PE

6. Activate the virtual interface
DANGER
The user must configure a VRF on an interface before configuring a Virtual Router (VRRP-E) on it.
When the user enables the Virtual Router before the user enables the VRF, the Virtual Router
configuration is deleted.
Configuration example
The following example configures a backup virtual device using VRRPE for VRF “blue” on an
Ethernet interface.
Brocade(config)# interface ethernet 3/1
Brocade(config-if-3/1)# vrf forwarding blue
Brocade(config-if-3/1)# ip address 10.2.3.1/8
Brocade(config-if-3/1)# ip vrrp-extended vrid 1
Brocade(config-if-3/1-vrid-1)# backup
Brocade(config-if-3/1-vrid-1)# ip-address 10.2.3.10
Brocade(config-if-3/1-vrid-1)# activate
