Creating or Removing a Virtual Router

All VRRP configurations should be replicated across switches in a fabric that runs VRRP.

Enabling a Virtual Router

By default, a virtual router is always disabled (shutdown). VRRP can be configured only if this state is
disabled. Be sure to configure at least one IP address before attempting to enable a VR.

Adding an IP Address for a Virtual Router

One primary IP address and multiple secondary addresses can be configured for a switch. If the
configured IP address is the same as the interface IP address, this switch automatically owns the IP
address.

Viewing IP Address Information

To view IP addresses of the switches in the current fabric from the Fabric Manager, choose Switches
from the menu tree.
The Information pane displays IP address information for multiple switches.
