Parameter Description Range Default
same IP address on each member of the
redundant pair.
This IP address will be redundant - it will be
active on the VRRP master, and will become
active on the VRRP backup in the event that the
VRRP master fails.
The IP address must be unique; the IP address
cannot be the loopback address of the controller.
Only IPv4 address formats are supported.
no
Negates all configured VRRP parameters. — —
preempt
Preempt mode allows a controller to take over
the role of master if it detects a lower priority
controller currently acting as master.
Best practices are to use the default value to
avoid excessive interruption to users or
“flapping” if a problematic controller is cycling
up and down.
— disabled
delay
Delay value in seconds.
Specifying a value enables the delay timer. The
timer is triggered when the VRRP state moves out
of backup or init state to become a master. This is
applicable only if router pre-emption is enabled.
When the timer is triggered, it delays the router
for a specified period of time before taking over
the master router. In the mean time, if there is an
advertisement from another VRRP master
(existing master), the router stops the timer and
does not transition to master.
0-60 seconds 0
priority
Defines the priority level of the VRRP instance for
the controller. This value is used in the election
mechanism for the master.
A higher number specifies a higher priority.
The default priority setting is adequate for most
networks.
100 1-255
shutdown
Administratively shutdown VRRP. When down,
VRRP is not active, although the controller
maintains the configuration information.
To start the VRRP instance, use no shutdown.
— enabled
(VRRP is
down)
tracking interface
Configures VRRP tracking based on Layer-2
interface state transitions. You can configure this
on Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.
You can track a combined maximum of 16 VLAN
and Layer-2 interfaces.
— —
<slot>
<slot> is always 1. — —
<port>
Number assigned to the network interface
embedded in the controller. Port numbers start at
0 from the left-most position.
— —
sub
Decreases the priority of the VRRP instance by
the specified amount. When the interface comes
