Version Description

8.3.2.0 Introduced on the E-Series.

Usage Information

The VRRP group only becomes active and sends VRRP packets when you configure a link-local virtual IP address.

When you delete the virtual address, the VRRP group stops sending VRRP packets.

• When you do not load the VRF microcode in the CAM, the VRID for a VRRP group is the same as the VRID

number configured with the vrrp-group or vrrp-ipv6-group commands.

• When you load the VRF microcode in the CAM, the VRID for a VRRP group equals 16 times the vrrp-group

or vrrp-ipv6-group vrid number, plus the ip vrf vrf-id number. For example, if you load the VRF

microcode and you configure the VRRP group as 10 in VRF 2, the VRID 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: For all routers to interoperate, configure the same VRID on neighboring routers (Dell EMC

Networking or non- Networking) in the same VRRP group.

Commands

• virtual-address — assigns up to 12 virtual IP addresses per VRRP group.
