Configuring VRRP
You can use the vrrpadm command to configure a VRRP router. The results of all the subcommands of vrrpadm command are persistent except for the vrrpadm show-router command. For example, the VRRP router that is created by the vrrpadm create-router command persists across reboots. For more information, see the vrrpadm (1M) man page.
You need to have the solaris.network.vrrp authorization, which is part of the Network Management profile, to configure the VRRP router.
Note - The read-only operation initiated by the vrrpadm show-router command does not require solaris.network.vrrp authorization.
 | Caution - When you use VRRP with the Oracle Solaris bundled IP Filter, you must check whether the incoming or the outgoing IP traffic is allowed for the standard VRRP multicast address, 224.0.0.18/32 by using the ipfstat -io command. If the traffic is not allowed, both the master and backup VRRP routers will be in the MASTER state. Therefore, you must add corresponding rules to IP filter configuration for each of the VRRP router.
