VRRP

VRRP helps to obtain a more reliable default route without changing the networking or configuring any routing protocol.

Procedure

• Query VRRP group information.
  1. Choose Service Management > VRRP > VRRP in the navigation tree to open the VRRP page.
  2. Set the search criteria.
  3. Click Query to display all matching records.
• Create a VRRP group.
  1. Choose Service Management > VRRP > VRRP in the navigation tree to open the VRRP page.
  2. Click New to open the Create VRRP Group page.

     Table 1 describes the parameters on the Create VRRP Group page.

     Table 1 Create VRRP Group

     Parameter		Description
     VRID		Indicates the ID of a virtual router. This parameter is mandatory.
     VLANIF		Select a VLANIF interface that requires VRRP configuration. The VLANIF interface must exist in the system.
     Virtual IP		Indicates the virtual IP address of the VRRP group, for example, 192.168.70.111. This parameter is mandatory. NOTE: The virtual IP address can be an idle IP address in the network segment of the VRRP group or the IP address of an interface in the VRRP group.
     Preempt Mode		Indicates whether to adopt the preemption mode. If Enable is selected, you need to set the preempt Delay parameter. If Disable is selected, the preempt Delay parameter is invalid.
     Advertise Timer		Indicates the interval for sending VRRP Advertisement packets. This parameter is mandatory. The master device sends VRRP Advertisement packets to backup devices at intervals to notify the backup devices that it works normally. If the backup devices do not receive any VRRP Advertisement packet within an interval, the backup device with the highest priority becomes the master.
     Config Priority		Indicates the priority of a member switch. The role of each switch in a VRRP group is determined by its priority. The switch with the highest priority becomes the master.
     Track Interface	Interface Name	Indicates the name and type of the tracked interface, for example, Ethernet0/0/1.
     	Priority	Indicates whether to increase or decrease the VRRP priority of the tracked interface when the tracked interface is Down. NOTE: If the preemption mode is disabled, this parameter cannot be set to Increase.
