7. Set the priority for this router in the group. The router with the highest priority will be used as
the master router. If the master router fails, then the IP address of the virtual router is mapped
to the backup device with the next highest priority. If this device's actual IP address is being
used as the virtual IP address of the VRRP pool, then the priority of this device should be set to
255 . Allowed values are from 1 and 255, and it is configured to 100 by default.
(config network vrrp VRRP_test)> priority int
(config network vrrp VRRP_test)>
8. (Optional) Set a password that will be used to authenticate this VRRP router with VRRP peers.
If the password length exceeds 8 characters, it will be truncated to 8 characters.
(config network vrrp VRRP_test)> password pwd
(config network vrrp VRRP_test)>
9. Add a virtual IP address associated with this VRRP instance. This can be an IPv4 or IPv6
address.
(config network vrrp VRRP_test)> add virtual_address end ip_address
(config network vrrp VRRP_test)>
Additional virtual IP addresses can be added by repeating this step with different values for ip_
address.
10. Save the configuration and apply the change:
(config network vrrp new_vrrp_instance)> save
Configuration saved.
>
11. Type exit to exit the Admin CLI.
Depending on your device configuration, you may be presented with an Access selection
menu. Type quit to disconnect from the device.
Configure VRRP+
VRRP+ is an extension to the VRRP standard that uses SureLink network probing to monitor
connections through VRRP-enabled devices and adjust devices' VRRP priority based on the status of
the SureLink tests.
This section describes how to configure VRRP+on a IX14 device.
Required configuration items
n
Both master and backup devices:
l
A configured and enabled instance of VRRP. See Configure VRRP for information.
l
