257BConfiguration procedure

1. Configure Firewall A:

<FirewallA> system-view

[FirewallA] interface gigabitethernet 0/1

[FirewallA-GigabitEthernet0/1] ip address 202.38.160.1 255.255.255.0

# Create VRRP group 1 and configure its virtual IP address as 202.38.160.111.

[FirewallA-GigabitEthernet0/1] vrrp vrid 1 virtual-ip 202.38.160.111

# Configure the priority of Firewall A in the VRRP group as 110, which is higher than that of

Firewall B (100), so that Firewall A can become the master.

[FirewallA-GigabitEthernet0/1] vrrp vrid 1 priority 110

# Configure the authentication mode of the VRRP group as simple and authentication key as hello.

[FirewallA-GigabitEthernet0/1] vrrp vrid 1 authentication-mode simple hello

# Configure the master to send VRRP packets every four seconds.

[FirewallA-GigabitEthernet0/1] vrrp vrid 1 timer advertise 4

# Configure Firewall A to operate in preemptive mode, so that it can become the master whenever

it works normally. Configure the preemption delay as five seconds to avoid frequent status

switchover.

[FirewallA-GigabitEthernet0/1] vrrp vrid 1 preempt-mode timer delay 5

# Set interface GigabitEthernet 0/2 on Firewall A to be tracked. Configure the amount by which

the priority value decreases to be more than 10 (30 in this example). Then when GigabitEthernet

0/2 fails, the priority of Firewall A in VRRP group 1 decreases to a value lower than 100 and

Firewall B can become the master.

[FirewallA-GigabitEthernet0/1] vrrp vrid 1 track interface gigabitethernet 0/2

reduced 30

2. Configure Firewall B:

<FirewallB> system-view

[FirewallB] interface gigabitethernet 0/1

[FirewallB-GigabitEthernet0/1] ip address 202.38.160.2 255.255.255.0

# Create VRRP group 1 and configure its virtual IP address as 202.38.160.111.

[FirewallB-GigabitEthernet0/1] vrrp vrid 1 virtual-ip 202.38.160.111

# Configure the authentication mode of the VRRP group as simple and authentication key as hello.
