Usage
Information
The VRRP group only becomes active and sends VRRP packets when a virtual IP address is
configured. When you delete the virtual address, the VRRP group stops sending VRRP packets.
A system message appears after you enter or delete the virtual-address command.
To guarantee that a VRRP group becomes MASTER, configure the VRRP group’s virtual address with
the same IP address as the interface’s primary IP address and change the priority of the VRRP group to
255.
You can ping the virtual addresses configured in all VRRP groups.

Usage
Information
This command applies to a single interface.When used in conjunction with the vrrp delay reload
CLI, the later timer rules the VRRP enabling. For example, if vrrp delay reload is 600 and the vrrp
delay minimum is 300:
• When the system reloads, VRRP waits 600 seconds (10 minutes) to bring up VRRP on all
interfaces that are up and configured for vrrp.
• When an interface comes up, whether as part of a system reload or an interface reload, the system
waits 300 seconds (5 minutes) to bring up VRRP on that interface.
