A VRRP router is enabled by default when you first create it. You can disable a VRRP router and re-enable it. The interface over which the VRRP router is created (specified with the -I option when the router is created with vrrpadm create-router) must exist when the router is enabled. Otherwise, the enable operation fails. For an L2 VRRP router, if the router's VRRP VNIC does not exist, the router is not effective. The syntax is as follows:
# vrrpadm enable-router router-name
At times, you might need to temporarily disable a VRRP router to make configuration changes and then re-enable the router. The syntax for disabling a router is as follows:
# vrrpadm disable-router router-name
