Basic VRRP-E parameter configuration
NOTE
You also can use the enable command to activate the configuration. This command does the same
thing as the activate command.
Configuring IPv6 VRRP-E
To implement an IPv6 VRRP-E configuration using all the default values, enter the following
commands.
NOTE
You must first configure the ipv6 unicast-routing command at the global configuration level to
enable IPv6 VRRP-E on the router.
Brocade Router2(config)# ipv6 unicast-routing
Brocade Router2(config)# ipv6 router vrrp-extended
Brocade Router2(config-ipv6-VRRP-E-router)# interface ethernet 1/5
Brocade Router2(config-if-e10000-1/5)# ipv6-address 3013::2/64
Brocade Router2(config-if-e10000-1/5)# ipv6 vrrp-extended vrid 1
Brocade Router2(config-if-e10000-1/5-vrid-1)# backup priority 50 track-priority
10
Brocade Router2(config-if-e10000-1/5-vrid-1)# ipv6-address 3013::99
Brocade Router2(config-if-e10000-1/5-vrid-1)# activate
Syntax: [no] ipv6 unicast-routing
Syntax: ipv6 router vrrp-extended
Syntax: [no] ipv6-address <ipv6-addr>
Syntax: ipv6 vrrp-extended vrid <vrid>
Syntax: [no] backup [priority <value>] [track-priority <value>]
Syntax: [no] activate
The <vrid> variable specifies the virtual router ID.
The <ipv6-addr> variable specifies the IPv6 address of the router.
You must identify a VRRP-E router as a Backup before you can activate the virtual router on a
Brocade device. However, after you configure the virtual router, you can use the backup command
to change its priority or track priority.
The priority <value> option specifies the IPv6 VRRP-E priority for this virtual Backup router. You can
specify a value from 3 through 254. The default is 100.
The track-priority <value> option changes the track port priority of a Backup router. You can specify
a value from 1 through 254. The default is 2.
NOTE
You also can use the enable command to activate the configuration. This command does the same
thing as the activate command.
