Simple VRRP Network Examples

The topology for a simple VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) network example is shown in Simple VRRP Network.

Switch A is the IP address owner, and Switch B is configured as the backup.

The configuration commands for switch A are as follows:

configure vlan vlan1 ipaddress 192.168.1.3/24
enable ipforwarding vlan vlan1 
create vrrp vlan vlan1 vrid 1
configure vrrp vlan vlan1 vrid 1 priority 255
configure vrrp vlan vlan1 vrid 1 add 192.168.1.3
enable vrrp

The configuration commands for switch B are as follows:

configure vlan vlan1 ipaddress 192.168.1.5/24
enable ipforwarding vlan vlan1
create vrrp vlan vlan1 vrid 1
configure vrrp vlan vlan1 vrid 1 add 192.168.1.3
enable vrrp
