G8332 Command Reference for ENOS 8.4
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) support on the G8332 provides
redundancy between routers in a LAN. This is accomplished by configuring the
same virtual router IP address and ID number on each participating VRRP‐capable
routing device. One of the virtual routers is then elected as the master, based on a
number of priority criteria, and assumes control of the shared virtual router IP
address. If the master fails, one of the backup virtual routers will assume routing
authority and take control of the virtual router IP address.
By default, VRRP is disabled. Enterprise NOS has extended VRRP to include
virtual servers as well, allowing for full active/active redundancy between
switches. For more information on VRRP, see the "High Availability" chapter in the
Lenovo RackSwitch G8332 Application Guide for Lenovo Enterprise Network Operating
System 8.4.

Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol Options
Command Syntax and Usage
router vrrp
Enter Router VRRP configuration mode.
Command mode: Global configuration
[no] enable
Globally enables or disables VRRP on this switch.
Command mode: Router VRRP
group
Configures VRRP virtual routers groups. To view command options, see
page
602.
Command mode: Router VRRP
holdoff <0‐255>
Globally sets the time, in seconds, that VRRP waits from when the master
switch goes down until elevating a new switch to be the master switch.
To disable VRRP hold off set the time to 0.
Note: Setting a new time value will take effect only when the switch is not in a
hold off state.
Command mode: Router VRRP
interface <1‐126>
Configures VRRP authentication parameters for the IP interfaces used with the
virtual routers. To view command options, see page
Command mode: Router VRRP
trackingpriorityincrement
Configures weights for the various criteria used to modify priority levels
during the master router election process. To view command options, see
page
607.
