VRRP 
7705 SAR OS Router Configuration Guide 249
Parameters ip-address — specifies the IP address of the host for which the specific event monitors 
connectivity. The IP address can only be monitored by a single event in this policy. The IP 
address can be monitored by multiple VRRP priority control policies. The IP address can be 
used in one or more ping requests. Each VRRP priority control host unreachable and ping 
destined for the same IP address is uniquely identified on a per-message basis. Each session 
originates a unique identifier value for the ICMP echo request messages it generates. This 
allows received ICMP echo reply messages to be directed to the appropriate sending 
application.
Values ipv4-address: a.b.c.d
ipv6-address: x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x[-interface]
x: [0..FFFF]H
interface: 32 chars maximum, mandatory
for link-local addresses
port-down
Syntax port-down port-id
no port-down
Context config>vrrp>policy>priority-event
Description This command configures a port down priority control event that monitors the operationally state of a 
port. When the port enters the operational down state, the event is considered set. When the port enters 
the operationally up state, the event is considered cleared.
Up to 32 unique port-down events can be defined in any combination of types.
The port-down command can be use on ports even if they are not preprovisioned or populated. The 
operational state of the port-down event indicates:
• set – non-provisioned
• set – not-populated
• set – down
• cleared – up
When the port is provisioned, populated, or enters the operationally up or down state, the event 
operational state is updated appropriately.
Note: The link-local IPv6 address must have an interface name specified. The global IPv6 
address must not have an interface name specified.
