Determining the VRRP Master

VRRP Tracking Example
Figure 27 is an example of VRRP tracking.
Figure 27: VRRP tracking
To configure VLAN tracking, as shown in Figure 27, use the following command:
Configure vlan vrrp1 add track-vlan vlan1
Using the tracking mechanism, if VLAN1 fails, the VRRP master realizes that there is no path to
upstream router via the Master switch and implements a failover to the backup.
To configure route table tracking, as shown in Figure 27, use the following command:
configure vlan vrrp1 add track-iproute 10.10.10.0/24
The route specified in this command must exist in the IP routing table. When the route is no longer
available, the switch implements a failover to the backup.
To configure ping tracking, as shown in Figure 27, use the following command:
configure vlan vrrp1 add track-ping 10.10.10.121 2 2
The specified IP address is tracked. If the fail rate is exceeded the switch implements a failover to the
backup.
