VRRP Configuration Menu
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) support provides redundancy between routers in a
LAN. This is accomplished by configuring the same virtual router IP address and ID number on
each participating VRRP-capable routing device. One of the virtual routers is then elected as the
master, based on a number of priority criteria, and assumes control of the shared virtual router IP
address. If the master fails, one of the backup virtual routers will assume routing authority and take
control of the virtual router IP address.
By default, VRRP is disabled. BLADE OS has extended VRRP to include virtual servers as well,
allowing for full active/active redundancy between switches. For more information on VRRP, see
the “High Availability” chapter in the Application Guide.

Command Syntax and Usage
vr <virtual router number (1-255)>
Displays the VRRP Virtual Router Menu. This menu is used for configuring virtual routers on
this switch. To view menu options, see page 353.

one logical entity. Group options must be configured when using two or more switches in a
hot-standby failover configuration where only one switch is active at any given time. To view
menu options, see page 358.
if <interface number>
Displays the VRRP Virtual Router Interface Menu. To view menu options, see page 361.
