v1.0, June 2007
Table 11-1. VRRP Parameters for Local WFS709TP Redundancy
Parameter
Explanation
Expected or Recommended
Values
Virtual Router ID
The Virtual Router ID that uniquely
identifies this VRRP instance.
Configure this with the same value
as the VLAN ID for easy
administration.
Recommended to
Advertisement Interval
The interval between successive
VRRP advertisements sent by the
current master.
Recommended to leave as default
(1000ms = 1s).
Authentication
Password
An optional password that can be
used to authenticate VRRP peers
in their advertisements.
This is an optional password that
can be used to authenticate VRRP
peers in their advertisements.
Description
An optional textual description to
describe the VRRP instance.
IP Address
The Virtual IP address that will be
owned by the elected VRRP
master.
Configure this with the Virtual IP
address.
Enable Router
Pre-emption
A WFS709TP can take over the
role of master if it detects a lower
priority WFS709TP currently
acting as master.
For this topology, it is
recommended
not
to select this
option.
Priority
Priority level of the VRRP instance
for the WFS709TP. This value is
used in the election mechanism for
the master.
It is recommended to leave this as
the default for this topology
(default = 100).
Tracking
Configures a tracking mechanism
that adds a specified value to the
priority after a WFS709TP has
been the master for the VRRP
instance. This mechanism is used
to avoid failing over to a backup
Master for transient failures.
Tracking can be based on one of
the following:
Master Up Time: how long the
switch has been the master.
VRRP Master State Priority: the
master state of another VRRP.
Recommended to leave this as the
default for this topology (default =
100).
