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, a backup immediately preempts the Master state when its priority is higher than the master.
If Disable is selected, as long as the master is working properly, the backup with higher priority cannot be the master.
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, GigabitEthernet0/0/1.
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.
Set parameters.
