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.
