You must set at least one virtual address for the VRRP group to start sending VRRP packets. For IPv4 addresses multiple addresses can be entered in the same command line. For IPv6 addresses, each address must be entered separately. Syntax virtual-address address1 [...address12] Parameters address1 ... address12 Enter an IPv4 address or IPv6 address for the virtual router. The IP address must be on the same subnet as the interface's primary IP address. For IPv4 addresses only: Enter up 11 additional IP addresses of virtual routers in dotted decimal format. Separate the IP addresses with a space. The IP addresses must be on the same subnet as the interface's primary IP address. Defaults Not configured. Command Modes VRRP Command History Version 8.3.2.0 Version 7.6.1.0 Version 7.5.1.0 Version 7.4.1.0 pre-Version 6.2.1.1 Introduced for IPv6 on E-Series TeraScale Introduced on S-Series Introduced on C-Series Introduced support for telnetting to the VRRP group IP address assigned using this command Introduced on E-Series Usage The VRRP group only becomes active and sends VRRP packets when a virtual IP address is Information configured. When you delete the virtual address, the VRRP group stops sending VRRP packets. A system message appears after you enter or delete the virtual-address command. To guarantee that a VRRP group becomes MASTER, configure the VRRP group's virtual address with the same IP address as the interface's primary IP address. The priority of the VRRP group is then automatically set to 255 and the interface becomes the MASTER/OWNER router of the VRRP group. You can also configure a priority for the group even if the group is owned. The configured priority is saved but only applied as the run-time priority when the last virtual address is removed from the group. You can ping the virtual addresses configured in all VRRP groups. 1486 | Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)
