Configuring VRRP

Configuring VRRP parameters on an IES interface is optional and applies only to the 7450 ESS and 7750 SR. 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 so on. All other virtual router instances participating in this message domain must have the same VRID configured and cannot be configured as owner.

For further information about VRRP CLI syntax and command descriptions, see the 7450 ESS, 7750 SR, 7950 XRS, and VSR Router Configuration Guide.

The following example displays the IES configuration:

*A:ALA-A>config>service>ies>if# info
----------------------------------------------
                address 10.10.36.2/24
                vrrp 2 owner
                    backup 10.10.36.2
 authentication-key "3WErEDozxyQ" hash
                exit
