Operation Manual – VRRPH3C S5500-EI Series Ethernet Switches Chapter 1 VRRP Configuration1-17Caution:You should configure this function before creating a standby group. Otherwise, youcannot modify the mapping between the virtual IPv6 address and the MAC address.1.3.4 Creating Standby Group and Configuring Virtual IPv6 AddressYou need to configure a virtual IPv6 address for a standby group when creating thestandby group. A VRRP standby group is created automatically when you specify thefirst virtual IPv6 address for the standby group. If you specify a virtual IPv6 address forthe standby group later, the virtual IPv6 address is only added to the virtual IPv6address list of the VRRP standby group.I. Configuration prerequisitesBefore creating standby group and configuring virtual IPv6 address, you should firstconfigure the IPv6 address of the interface and ensure that the virtual IPv6 address tobe configured is in the same network segment as the IPv6 address of the interface.II.
