Configuring XRRP
Configuration for Figure 12-4 – Multiple VLANs
See the figure on page 12-7.
Router-1 Configuration Explanation
HPswitch (vlan-5)# ip address 10.1.1.1/24
HPswitch (vlan-6)# ip address 10.2.1.1/24
HPswitch (config)# xrrp domain 2
HPswitch (config)# xrrp router 1
HPswitch (config)# xrrp instance 1 5
HPswitch (config)# xrrp instance 2 5 ip 10.1.1.2/24
HPswitch (config)# xrrp instance 1 6
HPswitch (config)# xrrp instance 2 6 ip 10.2.1.2/24
HPswitch (config)# xrrp
HPswitch (config)# write memory
Configures the IP address of the router interface in VLAN 5.
Configures the IP address of the router interface in VLAN 6.
Sets the identity of the Protection Domain.
Sets the XRRP router number.
Creates the XRRP virtual router interface in VLAN 5.
Identifies the virtual router interface on Router-2 for which
Router-1 is providing fail-over protection in VLAN 5.
Creates the XRRP virtual router interface in VLAN 6.
Identifies the virtual router interface on Router-2 for which
Router-1 is providing fail-over protection in VLAN 6.
Enables XRRP operation on Router-1.
Saves this configuration to startup memory.
Router-2 Configuration (the explanation is the same as for Router-1)
HPswitch (vlan-5)# ip address 10.1.1.2/24
HPswitch (vlan-6)# ip address 10.2.1.2/24
HPswitch (config)# xrrp domain 2
HPswitch (config)# xrrp router 2
HPswitch (config)# xrrp instance 2 5
HPswitch (config)# xrrp instance 1 5 ip 10.1.1.1/24
HPswitch (config)# xrrp instance 2 6
HPswitch (config)# xrrp instance 1 6 ip 10.2.1.1/24
HPswitch (config)# xrrp
HPswitch (config)# write memory
