VRRP |
| Note - This chapter applies to the Sun Network 10GbE Switch 72p product only. VRRP is not supported on the Sun Blade 6000 Ethernet Switched NEM 24p 10GbE, so do not use any of the procedures in this chapter for that product.

VRRP is an election protocol that dynamically assigns responsibility for one or more virtual router to the VRRP routers on a LAN, allowing several routers on a multi-access link to utilize the same virtual IP address. A VRRP router is configured to run the VRRP protocol in conjunction with one or more other routers attached to a LAN. In a VRRP setup, one router is elected as the master router with the other routers acting as backups for the case of failure of the master router. VRRP is designed to eliminate the router as a single point of failure when static routes are used.
12.1 VRRP Commands
The list of CLI commands for the configuration of VRRP is as follows:
12.1.1 router VRRP
- Enables VRRP in the router and is used to enter the VRRP configuration mode. The no form of the command disables VRRP in the router.
|
Mode
|
Global Configuration
|
|
Defaults
|
VRRP is disabled.
|
|
Example
|
SEFOS(config)# router vrrp
|
|
Notes
|
Enabling the VRRP router will transition the state of the virtual router from initialize to backup or master (Initialize indicates that the virtual router is waiting for a startup event. backup indicates that the virtual router is monitoring the availability of the master router. master indicates that the virtual router is forwarding the packets for IP addresses that are associated with this router.) Disabling the VRRP router will transition the state from backup or master to initialize. State transitions may not be immediate but may depend on other factors such as the interface state.
|
12.1.2 interface
Selects an interface to configure. The no form of the command deletes the virtual router entries on the given interface.
interface {vlan 1-4094 | interface-type interface-id}
|
no interface {vlan 1-4094 | interface-type interface-id}
|
|
Mode
|
VRRP Router Configuration
|
|
Example
|
SEFOS(config-vrrp)# interface vlan 3
|
|
Notes
|
- VRRP must be enabled prior to the execution of this command.
- This interface must have an ip address prior to the execution of this command.
|
12.1.3 vrrp - ipv4 address
Sets an associated IP address for the virtual router. The no form of the command deletes the associated IP address for the virtual router.
vrrp vr-id_1-255 ipv4 ucast-addr [secondary]
|
no vrrp vr-id_1-255 ipv4 ucast-addr [secondary]
|
|
Syntax Description
|
vr-id_1-255 - Virtual router identifier. VRID is a number which along with an interface index uniquely identifies a virtual router instance on a given VRRP router. This value ranges between 1 and 255.
ucast-addr - Associated IP address to be added.
secondary - Indicates that this is a secondary IP address.
|
|
Mode
|
VRRP Interface Configuration
|
|
Example
|
SEFOS(config-vrrp-if)# vrrp 3 ipv4 10.0.0.1
|
|
Notes
|
- Once this command is executed, the VRRP Module starts the transition from initial state to either backup state or master state as per the election process on the specific interface.
- This command should precede any other interface command for this VR identifier.
|
12.1.4 vrrp - ip address
Sets an associated IP address for the virtual router. The no form of the command deletes the associated IP address for the virtual router. This command operates similar to that of the command vrrp - ipv4 address.
vrrp vr-id_1-255 ip ucast-addr [secondary]
|
|
Syntax Description
|
vr-id_1-255 - Virtual router identifier. VRID is a number which along with an interface index uniquely identifies a virtual router instance on a given VRRP router. This value ranges between 1 and 255.
ucast-addr - Associated IP address to be added.
secondary - Indicates that this is a secondary IP address.
|
|
Mode
|
VRRP Interface Configuration
|
|
Example
|
SEFOS(config-vrrp-if)# vrrp 3 ip 10.0.0.1
|
|
Notes
|
- Once this command is executed, the VRRP Module starts the transition from initial state to either backup state or master state as per the election process on the specific interface.
- This command should precede any other interface command for this VR identifier.
|
12.1.5 vrrp group shutdown
Shuts down all VRRP groups. This command operates similar to the no form of the command vrrp - ipv4 address, except that all the associated IP addresses of the virtual router will be deleted.
|
Mode
|
VRRP Interface Configuration
|
|
Example
|
SEFOS(config-vrrp-if)# vrrp group shutdown
|
12.1.6 vrrp - priority
Sets the priority for the virtual router. The no form of the command sets the priority for the virtual router to the default value.
vrrp vr-id_1-255 priority 1-254
|
no vrrp vr-id_1-255 priority
|
|
Syntax Description
|
vr-id_1-255 - Virtual router identifier.
priority - Priority used for the virtual router master election process.
|
|
Mode
|
VRRP Interface Configuration
|
|
Defaults
|
priority - 100
|
|
Example
|
SEFOS(config-vrrp-if)# vrrp 3 priority 7
|
|
Notes
|
- Higher values imply higher priority.
- A priority of 255 is used for the router that owns the associated IP address (es).
- The command vrrp <vrid(1-255)> ipv4 <ip address> must be entered for the current interface (with the proper vrid) before the execution of this command.
|
12.1.7 vrrp - preempt
Enables the pre-emption of state change from either Backup to Master or vice versa based on the election process. The no form of the command disables the preempt mode.
vrrp vr-id_1-255 preempt [delay minimum 0-30]
|
no vrrp vr-id_1-255 preempt
|
|
Syntax Description
|
vr-id_1-255 - Virtual router identifier.
delay minimum - Number of seconds that the router will delay before issuing an advertisement claiming master ownership. This value ranges between 0 and 30.
|
|
Mode
|
VRRP Interface Configuration
|
|
Defaults
|
