Configuring parameters specific to VRRP

TABLE 84
VRRP and VRRPE parameters (Continued)
Parameter Description
Track port Another device port or virtual interface whose link status is
tracked by the VRID's interface.
If the link for a tracked interface goes down, the VRRP or VRRPE
priority of the VRID interface is changed, causing the devices to
renegotiate for Master.
Track priority A VRRP or VRRPE priority value assigned to the tracked ports. If a
tracked port's link goes down, the VRID port's VRRP or VRRPE
priority changes.
•
VRRP – The priority changes to the value of the tracked
port's priority.
•
VRRPE – The VRID port's priority is reduced by the amount of
the tracked port's priority.
Backup preempt Prevents a Backup with a higher VRRP priority from taking control
mode of the VRID from another Backup that has a lower priority but has
already assumed control of the VRID.
Configuring parameters specific to VRRP
VRRP is configured at the interface level. To implement a simple VRRP configuration using all the
default values, enter commands such as the following.

Configuring the owner

To configure the VRRP Owner router, enter the following commands on the router that will be the
Owner.
Router1(config)# router vrrp
Router1(config)# inter e 1/6
Router1(config-if-e10000-1/6)# ip address 192.53.5.1
Router1(config-if-e10000-1/6)# ip vrrp vrid 1
Router1(config-if-e10000-1/6-vrid-1)# owner
Router1(config-if-e10000-1/6-vrid-1)# ip-address 192.53.5.1
Router1(config-if-e10000-1/6-vrid-1)# activate
Syntax: router vrrp
Syntax: ip vrrp vrid <num>
Syntax: owner [track-priority <value>]
Syntax: activate
The track-priority <value> parameter changes the track-port priority for this interface and VRID
from the default (2) to a value from 1 – 254.
Syntax: ip-address <ip-addr>
The IP address you assign to the Owner must be an IP address configured on an interface that
belongs to the virtual router.
