Configuring VRRP VRRP Configuration Overview
OmniSwitch AOS Release 8 Network Configuration Guide December 2017 page 23-15
value to the existing virtual routers; you must first disable the virtual routers, then apply the new default
value using the vrrp set command and enable the virtual routers again.
For example, to change the default priority value to 50 on all the existing virtual routers on a switch, enter
the following:
-> vrrp priority 50
-> vrrp admin-state disable
-> vrrp set priority
-> vrrp admin-state enable
The first command configures the default priority value as 50 for all the virtual routers on the switch. The
next command disables all the virtual routers on the switch. The vrrp set command in this sequence
applies the new default priority value to the existing virtual routers. This value will be applied only to the
virtual routers that already have the default value and not the values configured either individually or via
group. This is because the configured values take priority over the default values.
For the modified default values to effect the virtual routers which are configured with a value either
individually or via group, you can use the vrrp set command along with the override option. For
example:
-> vrrp set priority override
The next command in the example enables all the virtual routers on the switch except the virtual routers
that are disabled individually or via group. To enable all the virtual routers on the switch including those
which are disabled individually or via group, you can use the vrrp admin-state command along with the
enable-all option. For example:
-> vrrp admin-state enable-all
Changing Default Parameter Values for a Virtual Router Group
The virtual routers can also be grouped under a virtual router group as another way of simplifying the
configuration and management tasks.
A virtual router group can be created using the vrrp group command. For example:
-> vrrp group 25
This command creates a virtual router group 25. Use the no form of the same command to delete a virtual
router group. For example:
-> no vrrp group 25
Note. You can specify a parameter such as interval, priority, preempt or all in the vrrp set command to set
and/or override the existing value with the new default values. The all option resets and/or overrides the
existing advertising interval value, priority value and preempt mode with the modified default values.
Note. This collective virtual routers management functionality will not affect the ability to change the
administrative status and parameter values of an individual virtual router.
Note. When a virtual router group is deleted, the virtual routers assigned to the group become unassigned.
However, this does not have any impact on the virtual routers.
