VSRP
You can prevent the Backups from advertising route information for the backed up interface by
enabling suppression of the advertisements.
NOTE
This parameter applies only if you specified an IP address to back up and is valid only on Layer 3
Switches.
To suppress RIP advertisements, enter the following commands.
Brocade(config)#router rip
Brocade(config-rip-router)#use-vrrp-path
Syntax: [no] use-vrrp-path
VSRP-aware interoperablilty
The vsrp-aware tc-vlan-flush command should be used in network configurations in which the
Brocade switch operates as the VSRP-Aware device connecting to a FastIron platforms configured
as a VSRP Master.
The command is available at the VLAN level, and is issued per a specific VRID, as shown here for
VRID 11.
Brocade(config-vlan-10)#vsrp-aware vrid 11 tc-vlan-flush
Syntax: vsrp-aware vrid <num> tc-vlan-flush
When this command is enabled, MAC addresses will be flushed at the VLAN level, instead of at the
port level. MAC addresses will be flushed for every topology change (TC) received on the
VSRP-aware ports.
When you configure the vsrp-aware tc-vlan-flush command on a VSRP-aware device, and the device
receives VSRP hello packets from the VSRP master, VSRP authentication is automatically
configured. However, if the VSRP-aware device does not receive VSRP hello packets from the VSRP
master when the vsrp-aware tc-vlan-flush command is configured, you must manually configure
VSRP authentication. For more information on configuring VSRP authentication, refer to
“Configuring authentication” on page 644.
When this command is enabled, the results of the show vsrp-aware vlan command resemble the
following.
Brocade(config-vlan-10)#vsrp-aware vrid 11 tc-vlan-flush
Brocade(config-vlan-10)#show vsrp aware vlan 10

Displaying VSRP information
You can display the following VSRP information:
• Configuration information and current parameter values for a VRID or VLAN
• The interfaces on a VSRP-aware device that are active for the VRID
