Basic VRRP Configurations
Page 206 7750 SR OS Router Configuration Guide
VRRP Router Interface Parameters
VRRP parameters are configured on a router interface with two contexts, owner or non-owner.
The status is specified when the VRRP configuration is created. When configured as owner,
the virtual router instance owns the backed up IP addresses. All other virtual router instances
participating in this message domain must have the same
vrid configured and cannot be
configured as owner.
Up to 4 virtual routers IDs (
vrid) can be configured on a router interface. Each virtual router
instance can manage up to 16 backup IP addresses, including up to 16 secondary IP addresses.
If there are multiple subnets configured on an Ethernet interface, you can configure VRRP on
each subnet.
VRRP parameters configured on a router interface must include the following:
•VRID
• Backup IP address(es)
The following example displays a sample configuration of a router interface owner and non-
owner VRRP configurations.
