addr <IP address (such as, 192.4.17.101)>
Defines the IP address for this virtual router using dotted decimal notation. This is used in
conjunction with the vrid (above) to configure the same virtual router on each participating
VRRP device. The default address is 0.0.0.0.
if <interface number>
Selects a switch IP interface. If the IP interface has the same IP address as the addr option
above, this switch is considered the “owner” of the defined virtual router. An owner has a
special priority of 255 (highest) and will always assume the role of master router, even if it
must pre-empt another virtual router which has assumed master routing authority. This
pre-emption occurs even if the preem option below is disabled. The default interface is 1.
prio <1-254>
Defines the election priority bias for this virtual server. This can be any integer between 1 and
254. The default value is 100.
During the master router election process, the routing device with the highest virtual router
priority number wins. If there is a tie, the device with the highest IP interface address wins. If
this virtual router’s IP address (addr) is the same as the one used by the IP interface, the
priority for this virtual router will automatically be set to 255 (highest).
When priority tracking is used (/cfg/l3/vrrp/track or
/cfg/l3/vrrp/vr #/track), this base priority value can be modified according to a
number of performance and operational criteria.
adver <1-255>
Defines the time interval between VRRP master advertisements. This can be any integer
between 1 and 255 seconds. The default value is 1.
preem disable|enable
Enables or disables master preemption. When enabled, if this virtual router is in backup mode
but has a higher priority than the current master, this virtual router will preempt the lower
priority master and assume control. Note that even when preem is disabled, this virtual
router will always preempt any other master if this switch is the owner (the IP interface
address and virtual router addr are the same). By default, this option is enabled.
ena
Enables this virtual router.
