Note

An Advanced Edge or Base license must be installed on all devices.

Devices labeled with router IDs 10.255.x.y:

Leaf 1

configure vlan default delete ports 1-2
create vlan “red" tag 100
configure vlan red add ports 1 untagged
configure vlan "red" ipaddress 10.1.1.1/24
enable ipforwarding vlan "red"

create vrrp vlan "red" vrid 1
configure vrrp vlan "red" vrid 1 priority 255
configure vrrp vlan "red" vrid 1 host-mobility on
configure vrrp vlan "red" vrid 1 add 10.1.1.254
enable vrrp vlan "red" vrid 1
