Creating a VRRP group and configuring a virtual IPv6 address

When creating a VRRP group, configure a virtual IPv6 address for the VRRP group. You can configure

multiple virtual IPv6 addresses for a VRRP group.

A VRRP group is automatically created when you specify the first virtual IPv6 address for the VRRP group.

If you specify another virtual IPv6 address for the VRRP group later, the virtual IPv6 address is added to

the virtual IPv6 address list of the VRRP group.

Configuration prerequisites

Before creating a VRRP group and configuring a virtual IPv6 address on an interface, configure an IPv6

address for the interface and make sure that it is in the same network segment as the virtual IPv6 address

to be configured.

Configuration guidelines

• When a router is the IP address owner in a VRRP group, HP recommends you not to use the IPv6

address of the interface (virtual IPv6 address of the VRRP group) to establish an OSPFv3 neighbor

relationship with the adjacent router, that is, not to use the ospfv3 area command to enable

OSPFv3 on the interface. For more information about ospfv3 area command, see Network

Management Command Reference.

• When VRRP operates in load balancing mode, the virtual IPv6 address of a VRRP group cannot be

the same as the IPv6 address of any interface in the VRRP group. In other words, a VRRP group does

not have an IP address owner in load balancing mode.

• You can configure a maximum of 16 VRRP groups on an interface and a maximum of 16 virtual IPv6

addresses in a VRRP group.

• A VRRP group is removed after you remove all the virtual IPv6 addresses in it. In addition,

configurations on that VRRP group do not take effect any longer.

• Removal of the VRRP group on the IP address owner causes IP address collision. To resolve the

collision, change the IPv6 address of the interface on the IP address owner first and then remove the

VRRP group from the interface.
