When an IP address owner exists in a standby group, if you associate the virtual IP

address with the virtual MAC address, two MAC addresses are associated with an IP

address. In this case, you can associate the virtual IP address of the standby group with

the real MAC address, so that the packets from a host are forwarded to the IP address

owner according the real MAC address.

Follow these steps to configure the association between MAC address and virtual IP

address and MAC

You should configure this function before creating a standby group. Otherwise, you

cannot modify the mapping between the virtual IP address and the MAC address.

1.2.4 Creating Standby Group and Configuring Virtual IP Address

You need to configure a virtual IP address for a standby group when creating the

standby group. A VRRP standby group is created automatically when you specify the

first virtual IP address for the standby group. If you specify a virtual IP address for the

standby group later, the virtual IP address is only added to the virtual IP address list of

the VRRP standby group.

I. Configuration prerequisites

Before creating standby group and configuring virtual IP address, you should first

configure the IP address of the interface and ensure that the virtual IP address to be

configured is in the same network segment as the IP address of the interface.

II. Configuration procedure

Follow these steps to create standby group and configure virtual IP address:

vrrp method { real-mac |

virtual-mac }
