Basic VRRP Configurations
394 Router Configuration Guide
For IPv4, up to 4 virtual routers IDs (vrid) can be configured on an IES service interface. Each 
virtual router instance can manage up to 16 backup IP addresses. For IPv6, only one virtual 
router instance can be configured on an IES service interface.
VRRP parameters configured within an IES service must include the following:
•VRID
• Backup IP address(es)
The following example displays a sample configuration of a IES service owner and non-
owner VRRP configurations.

Configure VRRP for IPv6
The following output shows a VRRP for IPV6 configuration example and applies to the 
7750 SR and 7950 XRS. The interface must be configured first.
