Configuring A Vrrp Operation Mode; Specifying The Type Of Mac Addresses Mapped To Virtual Ip Addresses - HP 6125G Configuration Manual

Complete these tasks to configure VRRP for IPv4:
Task

Configuring a VRRP operation mode

Specifying the type of MAC addresses mapped to
virtual IP addresses
Creating a VRRP group and configuring virtual IP
address
Configuring router priority, preemptive mode and
tracking function
Configuring VF tracking
Configuring VRRP packet attributes
Enabling the trap function for VRRP
Configuring a VRRP operation mode
VRRP can operate in either of the following modes:
• Standard protocol mode—When VRRP is operating in this mode, only the master in a VRRP group
is responsible for forwarding packets.
Load balancing mode—When VRRP is operating in this mode, all the routers (master and backups)
•
that have the AVF in a VRRP group can forward packets, thus implementing load balancing.
After the VRRP operation mode is specified on a router, all VRRP groups on the router operate in the
specified operation mode.
To configure a VRRP operation mode:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Configure a VRRP
operation mode.
Specifying the type of MAC addresses mapped to virtual IP
addresses
After you specify the type of MAC addresses mapped to the virtual IP addresses of VRRP groups and
create a VRRP group, the master in the VRRP group uses the specified type of MAC address as the source
MAC address for sending packets and uses the specified type of MAC address to answer ARP requests
