Parameters
virtual-router-id: VRRP group number, which ranges from 1 to 255.
interface interface-type interface-number: Specifies an interface by its type and number.
reduced priority-reduced: Value by which the priority decrements. The priority-reduced argument ranges
from 1 to 255 and defaults to 10.
Usage guidelines
When the uplink interface of a device in a VRRP group fails, the VRRP group usually cannot be aware of
the uplink interface failure. If the device is the master of the VRRP group, hosts on the LAN are not able
to access external networks because of the uplink failure. This problem can be solved by tracking a
specified uplink interface. When the uplink interface is down or removed, the priority of the master is
automatically decreased by a specified value, allowing a higher priority device in the VRRP group to
become the master.
Before executing the command, create a VRRP group on an interface and configure the virtual IPv6
address of the VRRP group.
If no interface is specified, the undo vrrp ipv6 vrid track interface command removes the association
between the VRRP group and any interface.
If you configure an interface to be tracked on a device that is the IP address owner in a VRRP group, the
configuration does not take effect. If the device is not the IP address owner in the VRRP group later, the
configuration takes effect.
When the status of the tracked interface turns from down or removed to up, the corresponding device
restores its priority automatically.
