Dell PowerConnect ArubaOS 5.0 Command Line Interface | Reference Guide vrrp | 1263
Usage Guidelines
Use this command to set parameters for VRRP on the controller. The default VRRP parameters can be left for
most implementations.
You can use a combination of numbers, letters, and characters to create the authentication password and the
VRRP description. To include a space in the password or description, enter quotation marks around the string.
For example, to create the password Floor 1, enter “Floor 1” at the prompt.
To change the existing password or description, enter the command with a different string. The new password or
description takes affect immediately.
To unconfigure the existing password or description, enter ““ at the prompt. If you update the password on one
controller, you must update the password on the redundant member pair.
Interface Tracking
You can track multiple VRRP instances to prevent asymmetric routing and dynamically change the VRRP master
to adapt to changes in the network. VRRP interface tracking can alter the priority of the VRRP instance based on
<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 up again, the value is
restored to the previous priority level.
The combined priority and tracking vales cannot exceed 255.
If the priority value exceeds 255, the controller displays an
error message.
0-255 —
tracking
master-up-time
duration
Monitors how long the controller has been master for the
VRRP instance.
0-1440 minutes —
tracking
master-up-time
add
Instructs the controller to add the specified value to the
existing priority level.
The combined priority and tracking values cannot exceed 255.
If the priority value exceeds 255, the controller displays an
error message similar to the following:
Error: Vrrp 30 priority + tracking value exceeds 255
0-255 —
tracking vlan
Configures VRRP tracking based on VLAN state transitions.
You can track a combined maximum of 16 VLAN and Layer-2
interfaces.
——
sub
Decreases the priority of the VRRP instance by the specified
amount. When the VLAN comes up again, the value is restored
to the previous priority level.
The combined priority and tracking values cannot exceed 255.
If the priority value exceeds 255, the controller displays an
error message.
0-255 —
vrrp-master-
state
Specifies the VRID to use for tracking the state of the VRRP
master controller.
1-255 —
vrrp-master-
state add
Instructs the controller to add the specified value to the
existing priority level.
The combined priority and tracking values cannot exceed 255.
If the priority value exceeds 255, the controller displays an
error message similar to the following:
Error: Vrrp 30 priority + tracking value exceeds 255
0-255 —
vlan
Specifies the VLAN ID of the VLAN on which VRRP will run. 1-4094 —
