xStack DGS/DXS-3300 Series Layer 3 Stackable Gigabit Ethernet Switch CLI Manual
create vrrp vrid
Purpose
To create a VRRP router on the Switch.
Syntax
create vrrp vrid <vrid 1-255> ipif <ipif_name 12> ipaddress
<ipaddr> {state [enable | disable] | priority <int 1-254> |
advertisement_interval <int 1-255> | preempt [true | false] |
critical_ip <ipaddr> | critical_ip_state [enable | disable]}
Description
This command is used to create a VRRP interface on the Switch.
Parameters
vrid <vrid 1-255> - Enter a value between 1 and 255 to uniquely identify
this VRRP group on the Switch. All routers participating in this group
must be assigned the same vrid value. This value MUST be different
from other VRRP groups set on the Switch.
ipif <ipif_name 12> - Enter the name of a previously configured IP
interface for which to create a VRRP entry. This IP interface must be
assigned to a VLAN on the Switch.
ipaddress <ipaddr> - Enter the IP address that will be assigned to the
VRRP router. This IP address is also the default gateway that will be
statically assigned to end hosts and must be set for all routers that
participate in this group.
state [enable | disable] - Used to enable and disable the VRRP router
on the Switch.
priority <int 1-254> - Enter a value between 1 and 254 to indicate the
router priority. The VRRP Priority value may determine if a higher
priority VRRP router overrides a lower priority VRRP router. A higher
priority will increase the probability that this router will become the
Master router of the group. A lower priority will increase the probability
that this router will become the backup router. VRRP routers that are
assigned the same priority value will elect the highest physical IP
address as the Master router. The default value is 100. (The value of
255 is reserved for the router that owns the IP address associated with
the virtual router and is therefore set automatically.)
advertisement_interval <int 1-255> - Enter a time interval value, in
seconds, for sending VRRP message packets. This value must be
consistent with all routers participating within the same VRRP group.
The default is 1 second.
preempt [true | false] - This entry will determine the behavior of backup
routers within the VRRP group by controlling whether a higher priority
backup router will preempt a lower priority Master router. A true entry,
along with having the backup router's priority set higher than the
masters priority, will set the backup router as the Master router. A false
entry will disable the backup router from becoming the Master router.
This setting must be consistent with all routers participating within the
same VRRP group. The default setting is true.
critical_ip <ipaddr> - Enter the IP address of the physical device that
will provide the most direct route to the Internet or other critical network
connections from this virtual router. This must be a real IP address of a
real device on the network. If the connection from the virtual router to
this IP address fails, the virtual router will be disabled automatically. A
new master will be elected from the backup routers participating in the
VRRP group. Different critical IP addresses may be assigned to
different routers participating in the VRRP group, and can therefore
define multiple routes to the Internet or other critical network
connections.
critical_ip_state [enable | disable] - This parameter is used to enable or
272
