Implementing VRRP in Your Network

To implement VRRP:

• Create a virtual router instance
• Configure all VRRP IP addresses associated with this virtual router
• Optionally change the VRRP router priority for this virtual router
• Optionally change the advertise interval for this virtual router
• Optionally set the VRID state interface down transition to interface up delay
• Configure a critical-IP interface, the failure of which will decrement the operational priority of the router causing the backup router to take over as master.
• Optionally configure this virtual router for VRRP authentication (Only applies to VRID's that have been created as version 2 of the protocol)
• Optionally enable accept-mode for this virtual router allowing the master for this virtual router to accept IP packets for the configured associated IP address list
• Optionally enable fabric route mode on the VRRP router.
• Optionally change the master preemption setting for this VRRP router
• Verify configuration and statistics using the VRRP display command
