VRRPv3 Application Example

VRRPv3 Application Example
In addition to providing redundancy, VRRPv3 can assist in load balancing outgoing traffic. The figure
below shows two virtual routers with their hosts splitting traffic between them. Half of the hosts are
configured with a default route to virtual router 1's IPv6 address (
configured with a default route to virtual router 2's IPv6 address (
213:100:1::56
VLAN 5
clients 1 and 2
default gateway 10.10.2.250
The CLI commands used to configure this setup are as follows:
1
First, create two VRRPv3 virtual routers for VLAN 5. (Note that VLAN 5 must already be created and
available on the switch.)
-> vrrp3 1 5
-> vrrp3 2 5
2
Configure the IPv6 addresses for each VRRPv3 virtual router.
-> vrrp3 1 5 address 213:100:1::56
-> vrrp3 2 5 address 213:100:1::57
3
Enable the VRRPv3 virtual routers.
-> vrrp3 1 5 enable
-> vrrp3 2 5 enable
