VRRP Commands
This chapter describes the Run-Time CLI commands that are used to configure
VRRP layer 3 (routing) functions in the Passport 8000 Series switch.
VRRP Commands
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) is designed to eliminate an inherent
failure in the static default routed environment by introducing a logical IP address
shared between two or more routers connecting the subnet to the enterprise
network.
config ethernet <ports> ip vrrp Commands
The config ethernet <ports> ip vrrp <vrid> commands allow you to set
VRRP on a port. These commands use the following parameters:
<ports> specify the ports for which you are entering the command in the
form portlist {slot/port[-slot/port][, ...]}.
<vrid> is the virtual router ID (1 to 255), a number that uniquely identifies a
virtual router on a given VRRP router. The virtual router acts as the default
router for one or more assigned addresses.
