Configuring VRRP on the EAPS Protected VLANs

The VRRP virtual router (VR) is configured with the virtual IP address of 172.16.x.254 for each VLAN (Virtual LAN) (example VLAN green-1 = 172.16.1.254). The VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) virtual router IP address is configured as the default gateway of each client machine. Since it is not performing L2 blocking, configure the EAPS (Extreme Automatic Protection Switching) transit and controller as VRRP master router by using a higher priority value. The EAPS master and partner switch is configured as the VRRP backup router.

Example VRRP master router configuration:

* AGG-SWITCH#1.19 # create vrrp vlan green-1 vrid 1
* AGG-SWITCH#1.20 # configure vrrp vlan green-1 vrid 1 priority 110
* AGG-SWITCH#1.21 # configure vrrp vlan green-1 vrid 1 add 172.16.1.254
* AGG-SWITCH#1.22 # enable vrrp vlan green-1 vrid 1
* AGG-SWITCH#1.23 # create vrrp vlan purple-1 vrid 1
* AGG-SWITCH#1.24 # configure vrrp vlan purple-1 vrid 1 priority 110
* AGG-SWITCH#1.25 # configure vrrp vlan purple-1 vrid 1 add 172.16.2.254
* AGG-SWITCH#1.26 # enable vrrp vlan purple-1 vrid 1
* AGG-SWITCH#1.27 # create vrrp vlan orange-1 vrid 1
* AGG-SWITCH#1.28 # configure vrrp vlan orange-1 vrid 1 priority 110
* AGG-SWITCH#1.29 # configure vrrp vlan orange-1 vrid 1 add 172.16.3.254
* AGG-SWITCH#1.30 # enable vrrp vlan orange-1 vrid 1
* AGG-SWITCH#1.31 # create vrrp vlan red-1 vrid 1
* AGG-SWITCH#1.32 # configure vrrp vlan red-1 vrid 1 priority 110
* AGG-SWITCH#1.33 # configure vrrp vlan red-1 vrid 1 add 172.16.4.254
* AGG-SWITCH#1.34 # enable vrrp vlan red-1 vrid 1

Example VRRP backup router configuration:

* AGG-SWITCH#2.19 # create vrrp vlan green-1 vrid 1
* AGG-SWITCH#2.20 # configure vrrp vlan green-1 vrid 1 priority 100
* AGG-SWITCH#2.21 # configure vrrp vlan green-1 vrid 1 add 172.16.1.254
* AGG-SWITCH#2.22 # enable vrrp vlan green-1 vrid 1
* AGG-SWITCH#2.23 # create vrrp vlan purple-1 vrid 1
* AGG-SWITCH#2.24 # configure vrrp vlan purple-1 vrid 1 priority 100
* AGG-SWITCH#2.25 # configure vrrp vlan purple-1 vrid 1 add 172.16.2.254
* AGG-SWITCH#2.26 # enable vrrp vlan purple-1 vrid 1
* AGG-SWITCH#2.27 # create vrrp vlan orange-1 vrid 1
* AGG-SWITCH#2.28 # configure vrrp vlan orange-1 vrid 1 priority 100
* AGG-SWITCH#2.29 # configure vrrp vlan orange-1 vrid 1 add 172.16.3.254
* AGG-SWITCH#2.30 # enable vrrp vlan orange-1 vrid 1
* AGG-SWITCH#2.31 # create vrrp vlan red-1 vrid 1
* AGG-SWITCH#2.32 # configure vrrp vlan red-1 vrid 1 priority 100
* AGG-SWITCH#2.33 # configure vrrp vlan red-1 vrid 1 add 172.16.4.254
* AGG-SWITCH#2.34 # enable vrrp vlan red-1 vrid 1
