address
Use this command to configure a virtual router IP address.
Syntax
address vlan vlan-id vrid ip-address owner
no address vlan vlan-id vrid ip-address owner
Parameters
vlan vlan‐id
vrid
ip‐address
owner
Defaults
None.
Mode
Router command, Router configuration: Matrix>Router(config‐router)#
Usage
If the virtual router IP address is the same as the interface (VLAN) address owned by a VRRP
router, then the router owning the address becomes the master. The master sends an
advertisement to all other VRRP routers declaring its status and assumes responsibility for
forwarding packets associated with its virtual router ID (VRID).
If the virtual router IP address is not owned by any of the VRRP routers, then the routers compare
their priorities and the higher priority owner becomes the master. If priority values are the same,
then the VRRP router with the higher IP address is selected master. For details on using the
priority command, refer to "priority" on page 21‐64.
Each VRRP routing interface can support up to 16 virtual router IP addresses. A virtual router IP
address can be either an address configured on the routing interface or an address that falls within
the range of any networks configured on the routing interface. All of the virtual router IP
addresses associated with a single VRID must be designated as "owner" or "non‐owner"— a mix
of "owner" and "non‐owner" addresses on a single VRID is not allowed.
The "no" form of this command clears the VRRP address configuration.
Specifies the number of the VLAN on which to configure a virtual
router address. This VLAN must be configured for IP routing as
described in "Pre‐Routing Configuration Tasks" on page 2‐100.
Specifies a unique Virtual Router ID (VRID) associated with the routing
interface.
Specifies the virtual router IP address to associate with the router. The
limit is 16 virtual router IP addresses per interface.
Specifies a value to indicate if the router owns the IP address as one of
its interfaces. Valid values are:
• 1 to indicate the router owns the address.
• 0 to indicate the router does not own the address.
