VRRP router interface parameters

VRRP parameters are configured on a router interface 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 backed up 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 a router interface. Each virtual router instance can manage up to 16 backup IP addresses. For IPv6, only one virtual router instance can be configured on a router interface.

VRRP parameters configured on a router interface must include the following:

The following example shows a router interface owner and non-owner VRRP configuration:

A:SR4>config>router# info
#------------------------------------------
echo "IP Configuration "

        interface "system"
            address 10.10.0.4/32
        exit
        interface "test1"
            address 10.10.14.1/24
            secondary 10.10.16.1/24
            secondary 10.10.17.1/24
            secondary 10.10.18.1/24
        exit
        interface "test2"
            address 10.10.10.23/24
            vrrp 1 owner
                backup 10.10.10.23
                authentication-key "testabc"
