Usage 
Information
The VRRP group only becomes active and sends VRRP packets when a link-local virtual IP 
address is configured. When you delete the virtual address, the VRRP group stops sending 
VRRP packets.
• When VRF microcode is not loaded in CAM, the VRID for a VRRP group is the same as 
the VRID number configured with the vrrp-group or vrrp-ipv6-group 
command.
• When VRF microcode is loaded in CAM, the VRID for a VRRP group is equal to 16 times 
the vrrp-group or vrrp-ipv6-group vrid number plus the ip vrf vrf-
id number. For example, if VRF microcode is loaded and VRRP group 10 is configured 
in VRF 2, the VRID used for the VRRP group is (16 x 10) + 2, or 162. This VRID value is 
used in the lowest byte of the virtual MAC address of the VRRP group and is also used 
for VRF routing.
NOTE: Configure the same VRID on neighboring routers (Dell Networking or non-Dell 
Networking) in the same VRRP group in order for all routers to interoperate.
