The activate command activates the virtual router configuration on this interface. The interface
does not provide backup service for the virtual IP address until you activate the VRRP
configuration.
Syntax: router vrrp
Syntax: ip vrrp vrid <vrid>
Syntax: owner [track-priority <value>]
Syntax: backup [priority <value>] [track-priority <value>]
Syntax: track-port ethernet <slot>/<portnum> ve <num>

VRRPE example
To implement the VRRPE configuration shown in
Routers as shown in the following sections.
Configuring Router1
To configure VRRP Router1 in
Router1(config)# router vrrp-extended
Router1(config)# interface ethernet 1/6
Router1(config-if-e10000-1/6)# ip address 192.53.5.2/24
Router1(config-if-e10000-1/6)# ip vrrp-extended vrid 1
Router1(config-if-e10000-1/6-vrid-1)# backup priority 110 track-priority 20
Router1(config-if-e10000-1/6-vrid-1)# track-port ethernet 2/4
Router1(config-if-e10000-1/6-vrid-1)# ip-address 192.53.5.254
Router1(config-if-e10000-1/6-vrid-1)# activate
VRRP router 1 for this interface is activating
Router1(config-if-e10000-1/6-vrid-1)# exit
Router1(config)# interface ethernet 1/6
Router1(config-if-e10000-1/6)# ip vrrp-extended vrid 2
Router1(config-if-e10000-1/6-vrid-1)# backup priority 100 track-priority 20
Router1(config-if-e10000-1/6-vrid-1)# track-port ethernet 2/4
Router1(config-if-e10000-1/6-vrid-1)# ip-address 192.53.5.253
Router1(config-if-e10000-1/6-vrid-1)# activate
VRRP router 2 for this interface is activating
NOTE
The address you enter with the ip-address command cannot be the same as a real IP address
configured on the interface.
Configuring Router2
To configure Router2, enter the following commands.
Router1(config)# router vrrp-extended
Router1(config)# interface ethernet 5/1
Router1(config-if-e10000-5/1)# ip address 192.53.5.3/24
Router1(config-if-e10000-5/1)# ip vrrp-extended vrid 1
Router1(config-if-e10000-5/1-vrid-1)# backup priority 100 track-priority 20
