vrrp accept-mode

Enables the master of the VRID to accept IP packets destined for the IP addresses in the associated list, even if the router is not the owner of those addresses.

Syntax

vrrp accept-mode vrid
no vrrp accept-mode vrid

Parameters

vrid Specifies the VRRP instance.

Defaults

None.

Mode

Interface configuration mode.

Usage

The master will accept IP packets for the configured associated list even if the device is not the owner.

Enabling accept mode on a VRID will allow the router to be managed by the addresses in the associate list when it is not the owner of those addresses. If accept mode is not enabled, then only ARP packets are replied back, all other packets are dropped that are destined for an IP address in the associate list when it is not the owner. If the router is the owner of the IP Addresses in the associate list then the command has no effect.

Example

This example enables the master of VRID 1 to accept IP packets for the its associated IP address list:

System(rw)->
System(rw)->configure
System(rw-config)->interface vlan 20
System(rw-config-intf-vlan.0.20)->vrrp accept-mode 1
System(rw-config-intf-vlan.0.20)->
