Configuring VRRP VRRPv3 Configuration Overview
OmniSwitch 6800/6850/9000 Network Configuration Guide March 2008 page 23-23
Enabling/Disabling a VRRPv3 Virtual Router
VRRPv3 virtual routers are disabled by default. To enable a virtual router, use the vrrp3 command with
the enable keyword. For example:
-> vrrp3 7 3
-> vrrp3 7 3 enable
In this example, a VRRPv3 virtual router is created on VLAN 3 with a VRID of 7. An IPv6 address is
then assigned to the virtual router. The virtual router is then enabled on the switch.
To disable a VRRPv3 virtual router, use the disable keyword.
-> vrrp 7 3 disable
A VRRPv3 virtual router must be disabled before it may be modified. Use the vrrp3 command to disable
the virtual router first; then use the command again to modify the parameters. For example:
-> vrrp3 7 3 disable
-> vrrp3 7 3 priority 200
-> vrrp3 7 3 enable
In this example, VRRPv3 virtual router 7 on VLAN 3 is disabled. The VRRPv3 virtual router is then
modified to change its priority setting. (For information about configuring the priority setting, see
“Configuring the VRRPv3 Virtual Router Priority” on page 23-21.) The virtual router is then re-enabled
and will be active on the switch.
Setting VRRPv3 Traps
A VRRPv3 router has the capability to generate VRRPv3 SNMP traps for events defined in the VRRPv3
SNMP MIB. By default traps are enabled.
In order for VRRPv3 traps to be generated correctly, traps in general must be enabled on the switch
through the SNMP CLI. See the OmniSwitch 6800/6850/9000 Switch Management Guide for more infor-
mation about enabling SNMP traps globally.
To disable VRRPv3 traps, use the no form of the vrrp3 trap command.
-> no vrrp3 trap
To re-enable traps, enter the vrrp3 trap command:
-> vrrp3 trap
