Configuring VRRP

Configuring VRRP parameters on an IES interface is optional and is available only in network mode and is not supported in access-uplink mode. VRRP can be configured in either an owner or non-owner mode. The owner is the VRRP router whose virtual router IP address is the same as the real interface IP address. This is the router that responds to packets addressed to one of the IP addresses for ICMP pings, TCP connections and related addresses. All other virtual router instances participating in this message domain should have the same VRID configured and cannot be configured as an owner.

The following is a sample IES configuration output.
