This section provides a brief overview of the tasks that must be performed to configure VRRP and provides the CLI commands.
VRRP parameters are defined under a service interface or a router interface context. An IP address must be assigned to each IP interface. Only one primary IP address can be associated with an IP interface, but several secondary IP addresses can also be associated.
Owner and non-owner configurations must include the following parameters:
All participating routers in a VRRP instance must be configured with the same VRID.
The owner configuration must include at least one backup IP address.
For IPv6, all participating routers must be configured with the same link-local backup address (the address configured for the owner instance).
Other owner and non-owner configurations include the following optional commands:
In addition to the common parameters, the following non-owner commands can be configured:
master-int-inherit
priority
policy
ping-reply
preempt
telnet-reply
ssh-reply (IPv4 only)
[no] shutdown
