Configuring basic VRRPE parameters
24
Configuring the Owner
Router1(config)# router vrrp
Router1(config)# inter e 6
Router1(config-if-6)# ip address 192.53.5.1
Router1(config-if-6)# ip vrrp vrid 1
Router1(config-if-6-vrid-1)# owner
Router1(config-if-6-vrid-1)# ip-address 192.53.5.1
Router1(config-if-6-vrid-1)# activate
Configuring a Backup
Router2(config)# router vrrp
Router2(config)# inter e 5
Router2(config-if-5)# ip address 192.53.5.3
Router2(config-if-5)# ip vrrp vrid 1
Router2(config-if-5-vrid-1)# backup
Router2(config-if-5-vrid-1)# advertise backup
Router2(config-if-5-vrid-1)# ip-address 192.53.5.1
Router2(config-if-5-vrid-1)# activate
Configuration rules for VRRP
• The interfaces of all routers in a VRID must be in the same IP subnet.
• The IP addresses associated with the VRID must already be configured on the router that will
be the Owner router.
• An IP address associated with the VRID must be on only one router.
• The Hello interval must be set to the same value on both the Owner and Backups for the VRID.
• The Dead interval must be set to the same value on both the Owner and Backups for the VRID.
• The track priority on a router must be lower than the router VRRP priority. Also, the track
priority on the Owner must be higher than the track priority on the Backups.
Configuring basic VRRPE parameters
To implement a simple VRRPE configuration using all the default values, enter commands such as
the following on each Layer 3 Switch.
Router2(config)# router vrrp-extended
Router2(config)# inter e 5
Router2(config-if-5)# ip address 192.53.5.3
Router2(config-if-5)# ip vrrp-extended vrid 1
Router2(config-if-5-vrid-1)# backup
Router2(config-if-5-vrid-1)# advertise backup
Router2(config-if-5-vrid-1)# ip-address 192.53.5.254
Router2(config-if-5-vrid-1)# activate
NOTE
You also can use the enable command to activate the configuration. This command does the same
thing as the activate command.
