TABLE 88
VRRP and VRRPE parameters
Parameter Description
Protocol The Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) based on RFC
2338 or VRRP-Extended, Brocade's enhanced implementation of
VRRP
VRRP or VRRPE The device's active participation as a VRRP or VRRPE router.
router Enabling the protocol does not activate the device for VRRP or
VRRPE. You must activate the device as a VRRP or VRRPE router
after you configure the VRRP or VRRPE parameters.
Virtual Router ID The ID of the virtual router you are creating by configuring multiple
(VRID) 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.
Virtual Router IP This is the address you are backing up.
address
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.
VRID MAC address The source MAC address in VRRP or VRRPE packets sent from the
VRID interface, and the destination for packets sent to the VRID.
•
VRRP – A virtual MAC address defined as
00-00-5e-00-01-<vrid>. The Master owns the Virtual MAC
address.
•
VRRPE – A virtual MAC address defined as
02-E0-52-<hash-value>-<vrid>, where <hash-value> is a
two-octet hashed value for the IP address and <vrid> is the
VRID.
Authentication type The type of authentication the VRRP or VRRPE routers use to
validate VRRP or VRRPE packets. The authentication type must
match the authentication type the VRID's port uses with other
routing protocols such as OSPF.
•
No authentication – The interfaces do not use
authentication. This is the VRRP default.
•
Simple – The interface uses a simple text-string as a
password in packets sent on the interface. If the interface
uses simple password authentication, the VRID configured
on the interface must use the same authentication type and
the same password.
NOTE: MD5 is not supported by VRRP or VRRPE.
