VRRP – The virtual router IP address is the same as an IP address or virtual interface
configured on one of the Layer 3 Switches, which is the "Owner" and becomes the default
Master.
VRRPE – The virtual router IP address is the gateway address you want to backup, but does not
need to be an IP interface configured on one of the Layer 3 Switch ports or a virtual interface.
VRRP – The "Owner" of the IP address of the VRID is the default Master and has the highest
priority (255). The precedence of the Backups is determined by their priorities. The default
Master is always the Owner of the IP address of the VRID.
VRRPE – The Master and Backups are selected based on their priority. You can configure any
of the Layer 3 Switches to be the Master by giving it the highest priority. There is no Owner.

Description
The Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) based on
RFC 2338 or VRRP-Extended, the Dell enhanced
implementation of VRRP
The Layer 3 Switch active participation as a VRRP or
VRRPE router. Enabling the protocol does not activate the
Layer 3 Switch for VRRP or VRRPE. You must activate the
device as a VRRP or VRRPE router after you configure the
VRRP or VRRPE parameters.
The ID of the virtual router you are creating by configuring
multiple routers to back up an IP interface. You must
configure the same VRID on each router that you want to
use to back up the address.
No default.
This is the address you are backing up.
No default:
•
VRRP – The virtual router IP address must be a real
IP address configured on the VRID interface on one
of the VRRP routers. This router is the IP address
Owner and is the default Master.
•
VRRPE – The virtual router IP address must be in the
same subnet as a real IP address configured on the
VRRPE interface, but cannot be the same as a real IP
address configured on the interface.
