Table 166 Virtual Router Group Configuration Menu options
Command Description
track Displays the VRRP Priority Tracking Menu for the virtual router group. Tracking
is a proprietary extension to VRRP, used for modifying the standard priority
system used for electing the master router.
vrid <1-255> Defines the virtual router ID.
The
vrid for standard virtual routers (where the virtual router IP address is not
the same as any virtual server) can be any integer between 1 and 255. All
vrid values must be unique within the VLAN to which the virtual router’s IP
interface (see
if below) belongs. The default virtual router ID is 1.
if <1-255> Selects a switch IP interface (between 1 and 255). The default switch IP
interface number is 1.
prio <1-254> Defines the election priority bias for this virtual router group. This can be any
integer between 1 and 254. The default value is 100.
During the master router election process, the routing device with the highest
virtual router priority number wins. If there is a tie, the device with the highest IP
interface address wins. If this virtual router’s IP address (
addr) is the same as
the one used by the IP interface, the priority for this virtual router will
automatically be set to 255 (highest).
When priority tracking is used (
/cfg/l3/vrrp/track or
/cfg/l3/vrrp/vr #/track
), this base priority value can be modified
according to a number of performance and operational criteria.
adver <1-255> Defines the time interval between VRRP master advertisements. This can be any
integer between 1 and 255 seconds. The default is 1.
preem disable|enable Enables or disables master preemption. When enabled, if the virtual router
group is in backup mode but has a higher priority than the current master, this
virtual router will preempt the lower priority master and assume control. Note
that even when
preem is disabled, this virtual router will always preempt any
other master if this switch is the owner (the IP interface address and virtual
router
addr are the same). By default, this option is enabled.
ena Enables the virtual router group.
dis Disables the virtual router group.
del Deletes the virtual router group from the switch configuration.
cur Displays the current configuration information for the virtual router group.
