4. Enable tracking on ports. Set the priority of Virtual Router 2 to 101, so that it
becomes the Master.
RS G8000(config-vrrp)# virtual-router 1 track ports
RS G8000(config-vrrp)# virtual-router 2 track ports
RS G8000(config-vrrp)# virtual-router 2 priority 101
RS G8000(config-vrrp)# exit
5. Configure ports.
RS G8000(config)# vlan 10
RS G8000(config-vlan)# enable
RS G8000(config-vlan)# member 1
RS G8000(config-vlan)# exit
RS G8000(config)# vlan 20
RS G8000(config-vlan)# enable
RS G8000(config-vlan)# member 2
RS G8000(config-vlan)# exit
6. Turn off Spanning Tree Protocol globally.
RS G8000(config)# no spanning-tree stp 1
VRRP can be used in conjunction with VLAGs and LACP-capable servers and
switches to provide seamless redundancy.
