Configuring VRRP on a V3 interface

Perform this procedure to configure VRRP on a V3 interface on either a brouter port or a VLAN.

Before you begin

Assign an IPv4 address to the interface
Enable routing globally
Do not configure RSMLT on the VLAN

Procedure

In the navigation pane, expand the following folders: Configuration > IP.
Click VRRP.
Click the V3 Interface tab.
Click Insert.
Beside the IfIndex field, click Port or VLAN.
Select a port or VLAN.
Click OK.
Type the virtual router ID.
Type the primary IP address.
Type the advertisement interval.
Click Insert.

Interface field descriptions

Use the data in the following table to use the Interface tab.


Name	Description
IfIndex	Shows the index value that uniquely identifies the interface to which this entry applies.
InetAddrType	Specifies the source network INET Address Type.
VrId	Specifies a number that uniquely identifies a virtual router on a VRRP router.
PrimaryIpAddr	Specifies the virtual address assigned to the VRRP.
VirtualMacAddr	Specifies the MAC address of the virtual router interface.
State	Shows the state of the virtual router interface. The possible states are initialize—waiting for a startup event backup—monitoring availability and state of the master router master—functioning as the forwarding router for the virtual router IP addresses
Control	Displays whether VRRP is enabled or disabled for the port or VLAN.
Priority	Specifies the priority value used by this VRRP router. The value 255 is reserved for the router that owns the IP addresses associated with the virtual router. The default is 100.
AdvInterval	Specifies the time interval, in seconds, between sending advertisement messages. The default is 1 second.
MasterIpAddr	Specifies the IP address of the physical interface of the Master's virtual router.
UpTime	Indicates the time interval since this virtual router exited the INIT state.
CriticalIpAddr	Indicates the IP address of the interface that is critical to VRRP. If that IP interface is down, the VRRP state will transition to Backup, even if it has higher priority.
CriticalIpAddrEnabled	Enables or disables the use of critical IP. When disabled, the VRRP ignores the availability of the address configured as critical IP. This address must be a local address. The default is disabled.
BackUpMaster	Uses the backup VRRP switch for traffic forwarding. This option reduces the traffic on the vIST. The default is disabled.
BackUpMasterState	Indicates if the Backup-Master is operational up. If the switch is in Master state but the Backup-Master is enabled, then the BACKUP MASTER STATE will be down.
FasterAdvIntervalEnabled	Enables or disables the fast advertisement interval. When disabled, the regular advertisement interval is used. The default is disable.
FasterAdvInterval	Configures the interval between VRRP advertisement messages. The default is 200. Enter the values in multiples of 200 milliseconds.
PreemptMode	Issued to preempt the existing router. If a new router is added to the network with its priority higher than the existing routers, then the new router becomes the master. The default is enabled.
Action	Lists options to override the hold-down timer manually and force preemption: none does not override the timer. preemptHoldDownTimer preempts the timer. This parameter applies only if the holddown timer is active.
HoldDownTimer	Configures the amount of time, in seconds, to wait before preempting the current VRRP master. The default is 0.
HoldDownTimeRemaining	Indicates the amount of time, in seconds, left before the HoldDownTimer expires.
MasterAdvInterval	On the VRRPv3 master, the master advertisement interval is same as the advertisement interval. On the VRRPv3 Backup, the master advertisement interval is set to the Advertisement configured on the Master (received in the packet).
