vrrp-group

Configures a virtual router group (VRRP) and enters into the virtual router configuration mode.

Syntax

vrrp-group group-ID [ version { 2 | 3 } ]

no vrrp-group group-ID [ version { 2 | 3 } ]

Command Default

VRRP version 2 is the default.

Parameters

group-ID: A value from 1 through 255 that you assign to the virtual router group.
version: Specifies in which version of VRRP the IPv4 VRRP group is to be configured.
2 | 3: Version 2 or version 3 of VRRP.

Modes

Interface subtype configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

Enter no vrrp-group group-ID to remove a specific VRRP group. If you remove a group, you cannot retrieve it. You would have to redo the configuration procedure.

You can specify in which version of VRRP the VRRP group is configured using the version keyword and either 2 or 3 as the version number. VRRPv3 supports both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

Examples

The following example shows how to assign an Ethernet interface to the virtual router group with the ID of 1. (First you must enable VRRP on the switch.)

device(config)# protocol vrrp 
device(config)# interface ethernet 1/6 
device(config-if-eth-1/6)# vrrp-group 1

The following example shows how to assign an Ethernet interface to the virtual router group with the ID of 1 for VRRPv3. (First you must enable VRRP on the switch.)

device(config)# protocol vrrp 
device(config)# interface ethernet 1/6 
device(conf-if-eth-1/6)# vrrp-group 1 version 3
