Configuring VRRP VRRPv3 Application Example
OmniSwitch AOS Release 8 Network Configuration Guide December 2017 page 23-25
To ensure workstation clients 1 and 2 have connectivity to the internet, configure a tracking policy on
VRRPv3 router A to monitor port 3/1 and associate the policy with VRID 1.
-> vrrp3 track 1 admin-state enable priority 50 port 3/1
-> vrrp3 1 5 track-association 1
If port 3/1 on VRR3 router A goes down, the master for virtual router A is still functioning, but
workstation clients 1 and 2 will not be able to get to the Internet. With this tracking policy enabled,
however, master router 1’s priority will be temporarily decremented to 50, allowing backup router 1 to
take over and provide connectivity for those workstations. When port 3/1 on VRRPv3 router A comes
backup, master 1 will take over again.
Note. Preempt must be set on switch A virtual router 1, and switch B virtual router 2, in order for the
correct master to assume control once their respective ports 3/1 return to viability. In our example, once
port 3/1 on switch A is functioning again we want switch A to reestablish itself as the master. See “Setting
Preemption for Virtual Routers” on page 23-12 for more information about enabling preemption.
