Conguration Task List
The following list species the conguration tasks for VRRP.
• Creating a Virtual Router (mandatory)
• Conguring the VRRP Version for an IPv4 Group (optional)
• Assign Virtual IP Addresses mandatory)
• Setting VRRP Group (Virtual Router) Priority (optional)
• Conguring VRRP Authentication (optional)
• Disabling Preempt (optional)
• Changing the Advertisement Interval (optional)
• Track an Interface or Object
• Setting VRRP Initialization Delay
For a complete listing of all commands related to VRRP, refer to Dell Networking OS Command Line Reference Guide.
Creating a Virtual Router
To enable VRRP, create a virtual router. In Dell Networking Operating System (OS), the virtual router identier (VRID) identies a
VRRP group.
To enable or delete a virtual router, use the following commands.
• Create a virtual router for that interface with a VRID.
INTERFACE mode
vrrp-group vrid
The VRID range is from 1 to 255.
NOTE: The interface must already have a primary IP address dened and be enabled, as shown in the second
example.
• Delete a VRRP group.
INTERFACE mode
no vrrp-group vrid
Examples of Conguring and Verifying VRRP
The following examples how to congure VRRP.
Dell(conf)#interface tengigabitethernet 1/1/1
Dell(conf-if-te-1/1/1)#vrrp-group 111
Dell(conf-if-te-1/1/1-vrid-111)#
The following examples how to verify the VRRP conguration.
Dell(conf-if-te-1/1/1)#show conf
!
interface TenGigabitEthernet 1/1/1
ip address 10.10.10.1/24
!
vrrp-group 111
no shutdown
Conguring the VRRP Version for an IPv4 Group
For IPv4, you can congure a VRRP group to use one of the following VRRP versions:
• VRRPv2 as dened in RFC 3768, Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)
864
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)
