Changing Default Parameter Values For A Virtual Router Group - Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6850-48 Network Configuration Manual

Configuring VRRP
-> vrrp no preempt
These commands will set the new default values only for the virtual routers that are newly created.
However, you can apply the new default value to the existing virtual routers. To apply the new default
value to the existing virtual routers; you must first disable the virtual routers, then apply the new default
value using the vrrp set command and enable the virtual routers again.
For example, to change the default priority value to 50 on all the existing virtual routers on a switch, enter
the following:
-> vrrp priority 50
-> vrrp disable
-> vrrp set priority
-> vrrp enable
The first command configures the default priority value as 50 for all the virtual routers on the switch. The
next command disables all the virtual routers on the switch. The vrrp set command in this sequence
applies the new default priority value to the existing virtual routers. This value will be applied only to the
virtual routers that already have the default value and not the values configured either individually or via
group. This is because the configured values take priority over the default values.
For the modified default values to effect the virtual routers which are configured with a value either indi-
vidually or via group, you can use the same command in addition with the override option. For example:
-> vrrp set priority override
Note. You can specify a parameter such as interval, priority, preempt or all in the
and/or override the existing value with the new default values. By default the option all is applied. The all
option resets and/or overrides the existing advertising interval value, priority value and preempt mode
with the modified default values.
The next command enables all the virtual routers on the switch except the virtual routers that are disabled
individually or via group. To enable all the virtual routers on the switch including those which are disabled
individually or via group, you can use the same command with the enable all option as follows:
-> vrrp enable all
Note. This collective virtual routers management functionality will not affect the ability to change the
administrative status and parameter values of an individual virtual router.

Changing Default Parameter Values for a Virtual Router Group

The virtual routers can also be grouped under a virtual router group as another way of simplifying the
configuration and management tasks.
A virtual router group can be created using the
