To implement a simple VRRP configuration using all thedefault values, enter commands such as the following.Configuring the ownerTo configure the VRRP Owner router, enter the following commands on the router that will be theOwner.Router1(config)# router vrrpRouter1(config)# inter e 1/6Router1(config-if-e10000-1/6)# ip address 192.53.5.1Router1(config-if-e10000-1/6)# ip vrrp vrid 1Router1(config-if-e10000-1/6-vrid-1)# ownerRouter1(config-if-e10000-1/6-vrid-1)# ip-address 192.53.5.1Router1(config-if-e10000-1/6-vrid-1)# activateSyntax: router vrrpSyntax: ip vrrp vrid Syntax: owner [track-priority ]Syntax: activateThe track-priority parameter changes the track-port priority for this interface and VRIDfrom the default (2) to a value from 1 – 254.Syntax: ip-address The IP address you assign to the Owner must be an IP address configured on an interface thatbelongs to the virtual router.Refer to “Configuration rules for VRRP” on page 461 for additional requirements.Configuring basic VRRP parametersTo implement a simple VRRP configuration using all the default values, enter commands such asthe following.Track priority A VRRP or VRRPE priority value assigned to the tracked ports. If atracked port’s link goes down, the VRID port’s VRRP or VRRPEpriority changes.• VRRP – The priority changes to the value of the trackedport’s priority.• VRRPE – The VRID port’s priority is reduced by the amount ofthe tracked port’s priority.VRRP – 2VRRPE – 5page 454page 465Backup preemptmodePrevents a Backup with a higher VRRP priority from taking controlof the VRID from another Backup that has a lower priority but hasalready assumed control of the VRID.Enabled page 466TABLE 88 VRRP and VRRPE parameters (Continued)Parameter Description Default See page...
