IPv6 address of the virtual router that end hosts set as their default gateway.
Note that the primary IPv6 address specified is an IPv6 link-local address. See the
Usage note below for further information.
Use the no variant of this command to disable this feature.
virtual-ipv6 <ipv6-address> [master|backup]
Syntax
[primary|secondary]
no virtual-ipv6
Mode Router Configuration
Usage The virtual router will reply to ping, telnet, and SSH requests to the virtual IP
address. The virtual router will reply even if it does not own the virtual IP address.
The AlliedWare Plus VRRPv3 implementation supports one IPv6 virtual link local
address per virtual router ID. Note that in the command examples fe80::1 is an IPv6
link-local address. An IPv6 link-local address is used because IPv6 link-local
addresses are used by IPv6 ND (Neighbor Discovery). A host's default route to a
router points to the IPv6 link- local address, not a specific global IPv6 address for
the router. For the host's traffic to switch over to a backup router, the IPv6 link-local
address of the router is used by VRRPv3.
See the
about VRRPv3 IPv6 configuration details.

Parameter Description
<ipv6-address>
The IPv6 address of the virtual router, entered in hexadecimal, in
the format X:X::X.X.
master
Sets master to be the default state of the VRRPv3 router within
the Virtual Router. For master, we recommend using a Virtual IP
address that is not owned by any of the VRRP routers in the same
grouping (that share the same VRID).
backup
Sets backup to be the default state of the VRRPv3 router within
the Virtual Router.
primary
Sets the specified address as the primary IPv6 address. The
primary address must be a link-local IPv6 address.
secondary
Sets the specified address as the secondary IPv6 address.
Normally this would be a globally-routable IPv6 address. This
enables you to specify a globally-routable address as the default
gateway address for all the hosts on a VLAN.
