Description
Defines the virtual router ID. This is used in conjunction with addr (below) to
define a virtual router on this switch. To create a pool of VRRP-enabled
routing devices which can provide redundancy to each other, each
participating VRRP device must be configured with the same virtual router:
one that shares the same virtual router ID and address
combination.
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.
The default value is 1.
All virtual router ID values must be unique within the VLAN to which
the virtual router's IP interface belongs.
Command mode: Router VRRP
Defines the IP address for this virtual router using dotted decimal notation.
This is used in conjunction with the vrid (above) to configure the same
virtual router on each participating VRRP device. The default address is
0.0.0.0.
Command mode: Router VRRP
Selects a switch IP interface (between 1 and 255). If the IP interface has the
same IP address as the address option above, this switch is considered the
"owner" of the defined virtual router. An owner has a special priority of
255 (highest) and will always assume the role of master router, even if it
must preempt another virtual router which has assumed master routing
authority. This preemption occurs even if the preemption option below is
disabled. The default value is 1.
Command mode: Router VRRP
Defines the election priority bias for this virtual server. 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 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, this base priority value can be modified
according to a number of performance and operational criteria.
Command mode: Router VRRP
Defines the time interval between VRRP master advertisements. This can be
any integer between 1 and 255 seconds. The default value is 1.
Command mode: Router VRRP
Enables or disables master preemption. When enabled, if this virtual router
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 preemption is disabled, this virtual router will
always preempt any other master if this switch is the owner (the IP interface
address and virtual router address are the same). By default, this option is
enabled.
