Basic VRRP-E parameter configuration
NOTE
You also can use the enable command to activate the configuration. This command does the same
thing as the activate command.
Configuring IPv6 VRRP-E
To implement an IPv6 VRRP-E configuration using all the default values, enter the following
commands.
NOTE
You must first configure the ipv6 unicast-routing command at the global configuration level to
enable IPv6 VRRP-E on the router.
Brocade Router2(config)# ipv6 unicast-routing
Brocade Router2(config)# ipv6 router vrrp-extended
Brocade Router2(config-ipv6-VRRP-E-router)# interface ethernet 1/1/5
Brocade Router2(config-if-e10000-1/1/5)# ipv6-address 2001:db8::2/64
Brocade Router2(config-if-e10000-1/1/5)# ipv6 vrrp-extended vrid 1
Brocade Router2(config-if-e10000-1/1/5-vrid-1)# backup priority 50 track-priority
10
Brocade Router2(config-if-e10000-1/1/5-vrid-1)# ipv6-address 2001:db8::99
Brocade Router2(config-if-e10000-1/1/5-vrid-1)# activate
Syntax: [no] ipv6 unicast-routing
Syntax: ipv6 router vrrp-extended
Syntax: [no] ipv6-address ipv6-addr
Syntax: ipv6 vrrp-extended vrid vrid
Syntax: [no] backup [priority value] [track-priority value]
Syntax: [no] activate
The vrid variable specifies the virtual router ID.
The ipv6-addr variable specifies the IPv6 address of the router.
You must identify a VRRP-E router as a Backup before you can activate the virtual router on a
Brocade device. However, after you configure the virtual router, you can use the backup command
to change its priority or track priority.
The priority value option specifies the IPv6 VRRP-E priority for this virtual Backup router. You can
specify a value from 3 through 254. The default is 100.
The track-priority value option changes the track port priority of a Backup router. You can specify a
value from 1 through 254. The default is 2.
NOTE
You also can use the enable command to activate the configuration. This command does the same
thing as the activate command.
