HP VPN Firewall Appliances High Availability Command Reference

13
You can create a track entry with the track command before or after you associate it with a VRRP group.
For more information about configuring track entries, see High Availability Configuration Guide.
Examples
# Associate VRRP group 1 on GigabitEthernet 0/1 with track entry 1 and decrease the priority of the
device in the VRRP group by 50 when the state of track entry 1 changes to negative.

Parameters
virtual-router-id: VRRP group number, which ranges from 1 to 255.
interface interface-type interface-number: Specifies an interface to be tracked 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 router in a VRRP group fails, usually the VRRP group cannot be aware of
the uplink interface failure. If the router 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 through tracking a
specified uplink interface. After you configure to monitor the 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 router in the VRRP group to become the master.
Before executing the command, create a VRRP group on an interface and configure the virtual IP address
of the VRRP group.
