Usage Guidelines
The host is configured with a VRRP address as the portal address. When the VRRP master port receives
the first iSCSI session from an initiator, it assigns a slave port to serve that particular host. The
information is synchronized to all switches via Cisco Fabric Services (CFS) if recovery is needed when
a master port fails. The initiator gets a temporary redirect iSCSI login response. The host then logs in to
the slave port at its physical IP address. If the slave port goes down, the host will revert to the master
port. The master port knows through CFS that the slave port has gone down and redirects the host to
another slave port.
There are separate VRRP groups for IPv4 and IPv6. Each address family is allowed 256 virtual routers.
Note
An initiator can also be redirected to the physical IP address of the master interface.
The load balancing distribution is based on the number of initiators on a port and not on the number of
Tip
sessions.
