ipv6 vrrp (for a VLAN)

Configure Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) to provide fast failover of a default router for IPv6 LAN hosts. VRRP supports a virtual IPv6 address shared between two or more routers that connect the common subnet to the enterprise network. VRRP for IPv6 provides a faster switchover to an alternate default router than is possible using the ND protocol.

Command Parameters

<1-255>: Specifies a number that uniquely identifies a virtual router on an interface. The virtual router acts as the default router for one or more assigned addresses.
accept-mode enable: Controls whether a master router accepts packets addressed to the IPv6 address of the address owner as its own if it is not the IPv6 address owner. The default accept-mode enable is disabled.
action <none|preempt>: Lists options to override the holddown timer manually and force preemption. None does not override the timer. preempt preempts the timer. This parameter applies only if the holddown timer is active.
adver-int <1-40>: Specifies the time interval, in seconds, between sending advertisement messages. Only the master router sends advertisements. The default is 1.
backup-master enable: Uses the backup Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) switch for traffic forwarding. This option reduces the traffic on the IST link. The default backupmaster enable is disabled.
critical-ip enable: Enables or disables the use of critical IP. When disabled, the Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) ignores the availability of the address configured as critical IP. This address must be a local address. The default critical-ip enable is disabled.
critical-ip-addr WORD<0-46>: Specifies an IP interface on the local router configured so that a change in its state causes a role switch in the virtual router (for example, from master to backup) in case the interface stops responding.
enable: Enables IPv6 Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP). The default is disabled.
fast-adv enable: Enables or disables the fast advertisement interval. When disabled, the regular advertisement interval is used. The default is disabled.
fast-adv-int <200-1000>: Configures the interval between Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) advertisement messages. You must configure the same value on all participating routers. This unit of measure must be in multiples of 200 milliseconds. The default is 200.
holddown-timer<0-21600>: Configures the amount of time, in seconds, to wait before preempting the current Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) master.
priority <1-255>: Specifies the priority value used by this Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) router. The value 255 is reserved for the router that owns the IP addresses associated with the virtual router. The default priority is 100.
