Usage
Information
If the interface is disabled, the cost value is subtracted from the priority value and
forces a new MASTER election if the priority value is lower than the priority value in
the BACKUP virtual routers.
version
Set VRRP protocol version for IPv4 group.
Syntax
version {2 | 3 | both}
To return to the default setting, use the no version command.
Parameters
2 Enter the 2 parameter to specify VRRP version 2 as defined
by RFC 3768, Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol.

Usage
Information
You can use the version both command to migrate from VRRPv2 to VRRPv3. When
you set the VRRP protocol version to both, the switch sends only VRRPv3
advertisements but can receive either VRRPv2 or VRRPv3 packets. To migrate an
IPv4 VRRP group from VRRPv2 to VRRPv3:
1. Set the switches with the lowest priority to “both”.
2. Set the switch with the highest priority to version to 3.
3. Set all the switches from both to version 3.
NOTE: Do not run VRRP version 2 and version 3 in the same group for an
extended period of time.
