The ip vrrp owner command specifies that this router owns the IP address you are associating with
the VRID. Because this router owns the IP address, this router is the default Master router and its
VRRP priority is thus 255.

Configuring Router2

To configure Router2 in

Figure 112

on page 864 after enabling VRRP, enter the following

commands.

The backup command specifies that this router is a VRRP Backup for virtual router VRID1. The IP
address entered with the ip-address 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 VRID Backup must have an IP address in the same subnet. By
entering the same IP address as the one associated with this VRID on the Owner, you are
configuring the Backup to back up the address, but you are not duplicating the address.
