VRRP IES service parameters

VRRP parameters are configured within an IES service with two contexts: owner or non-owner. The status is specified when the VRRP configuration is created. When configured as owner, the virtual router instance owns the backup IP addresses. All other virtual router instances participating in this message domain must have the same VRID configured and cannot be configured as owner.

For IPv4, up to four virtual router IDs can be configured on an IES service interface. Each virtual router instance can manage up to 16 backup IP addresses. For IPv6, only one virtual router instance can be configured on an IES service interface.

VRRP parameters configured within an IES service must include the following:

The following example shows an IES service owner and non-owner VRRP configuration:
