Brocade Communications Systems FastIron X Series User Manual

5. Assign Router 1 to the virtual router ID (VRID) 1.
device(conf-if-e1000-1/1/6)# ip vrrp vrid 1
NOTE
You can assign a VRID number in the range of 1 through 255.
6. Designate this router as the VRRP owner device.
device(conf-if-e1000-1/1/6-vrid-1)# owner
7. Congure the VRRP version.
device(conf-if-e1000-1/1/6-vrid-1)# version 2
8.
Congure the IP address of the VRID.
device(conf-if-e1000-1/1/6-vrid-1)# ip-address 10.53.5.1
9. Enable the VRRP session.
device(conf-if-e1000-1/1/6-vrid-1)# activate
The following example congures a VRRP owner device.
device# configure terminal
device(config)# router vrrp
device(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/6
device(conf-if-e1000-1/1/6)# ip address 10.53.5.1/24
device(conf-if-e1000-1/1/6)# ip vrrp vrid 1
device(conf-if-e1000-1/1/6-vrid-1)# owner
device(conf-if-e1000-1/1/6-vrid-1)# version 2
device(conf-if-e1000-1/1/6-vrid-1)# ip-address 10.53.5.1
device(conf-if-e1000-1/1/6-vrid-1)# activate
VRRP router 1 for this interface is activating
Enabling an IPv6 VRRPv3 owner device
This task is performed on the device that is designated as the owner VRRP device because the IPv6 address of one of its physical
interfaces is assigned as the IP address of the virtual router. For each VRRP session there are master and backup routers, the owner
router is elected, by default, as the master router.
NOTE
When implementing IPv6 VRRPv3 across a network with devices from other vendors, be aware of a potential interoperability
issue with IPv6 VRRPv3 and other vendor equipment. Brocade has implemented IPv6 VRRPv3 functionality to comply with
RFC 5798 and will interoperate comfortably with other vendors that support RFC 5798.
1. On the device designated as the owner VRRP device, from privileged EXEC mode, enter conguration mode by issuing the
congure terminal command.
device# configure terminal
2. Before enabling IPv6 VRRP, you must globally enable IPv6 routing.
device(config)# ipv6 unicast-routing
3. Globally enable the IPv6 VRRP protocol.
device(config)# ipv6 router vrrp
