Parameter
real-mac: Uses the real MAC address of the interface to match the virtual IP address of
the virtual router in VRRP backup.
virtual-mac: Uses the virtual MAC address of the interface to match the virtual IP
address of the virtual router in VRRP backup.
Description
Use vrrp method command to set correspondence between the MAC address and the
virtual IP address of the virtual router: matching the real MAC address or the virtual
address with the virtual IP address.
Use the undo vrrp method command to reset the correspondence to the default value.
By default, the switch matches the virtual MAC address with the IP address of the
virtual router.
Due to the chips installed, some switches support matching one IP address to multiple
MAC addresses. Then you may configure correspondence between the virtual IP
address of the virtual router and the real/virtual MAC address.
You should set correspondence between the IP address of the virtual router and the
MAC address before configuring the virtual router. Otherwise, you cannot configure the
correspondence.
If you set correspondence between the IP address of the virtual router and the real
MAC address, then you can configure only one virtual router on VLAN interface.
Example
# Set the real MAC address of the interface match the virtual IP address of the virtual
router.
