1. Set the backup switches to VRRP version to both. Dell_backup_switch1(conf-if-te-0/1-vrid-100)#version both Dell_backup_switch2(conf-if-te-0/2-vrid-100)#version both 2. Set the master switch to VRRP protocol version 3. Dell_master_switch(conf-if-te-0/1-vrid-100)#version 3 3. Set the backup switches to version 3. Dell_backup_switch1(conf-if-te-0/1-vrid-100)#version 3 Dell_backup_switch2(conf-if-te-0/2-vrid-100)#version 3 Assign Virtual IP addresses Virtual routers contain virtual IP addresses configured for that VRRP group (VRID). A VRRP group does not transmit VRRP packets until you assign the Virtual IP address to the VRRP group. For more information, refer to VRRP Implementation. To activate a VRRP group on an interface (so that VRRP group starts transmitting VRRP packets), configure at least one virtual IP address in a VRRP group. The virtual IP address is the IP address of the virtual router and does not require the IP address mask. You can configure up to 12 virtual IP addresses on a single VRRP group (VRID). The following rules apply to virtual IP addresses: • The virtual IP addresses must be in the same subnet as the primary or secondary IP addresses configured on the interface. Though a single VRRP group can contain virtual IP addresses belonging to multiple IP subnets configured on the interface, Dell Networking recommends configuring virtual IP addresses belonging to the same IP subnet for any one VRRP group. - For example, an interface (on which you enable VRRP) contains a primary IP address of 50.1.1.1/24 and a secondary IP address of 60.1.1.1/24. The VRRP group (VRID 1) must contain virtual addresses belonging to either subnet 50.1.1.0/24 or subnet 60.1.1.0/24, but not from both subnets (though the system allows the same). • If the virtual IP address and the interface's primary/secondary IP address are the same, the priority on that VRRP group MUST be set to 255. The interface then becomes the OWNER router of the VRRP group and the interface's physical MAC address is changed to that of the owner VRRP group's MAC address. • If you configure multiple VRRP groups on an interface, only one of the VRRP Groups can contain the interface primary or secondary IP address. Configuring a Virtual IP Address To configure a virtual IP address, use the following commands. 1 Configure a VRRP group. INTERFACE mode vrrp-group vrrp-id The VRID range is from 1 to 255. 2 Configure virtual IP addresses for this VRID. INTERFACE -VRID mode virtual-address ip-address1 [...ip-address12] The range is up to 12 addresses. Examples of the Configuring and Verifying a Virtual IP Address The following example shows how to configure a virtual IP address.
