Brocade Communications Systems FastIron X Series User Manual

8. By default, backup VRRP devices do not send hello messages to advertise themselves to the master. Use the following
command to enable a backup router to send hello messages to the master VRRP device.
device(conf-if-e1000-1/1/4-vrid-1)# advertise backup
9. Assign the IPv6 link-local address to the VRID for use in the local network.
device(conf-if-e1000-1/1/4-vrid-2)# ipv6-address fe80::768e:f8ff:fe2a:0099
10. Assign the global IPv6 address to the VRID.
device(conf-if-e1000-1/1/4-vrid-2)# ipv6-address 3013::2
11. Enable the VRRP session.
device(conf-if-e1000-1/1/4-vrid-2)# activate
The following example
congures an IPv6 VRRPv3 backup device.
device# configure terminal
device(config)# ipv6 router vrrp
device(config-ipv6-vrrp-router)# interface ethernet 1/1/4
device(conf-if-e1000-1/1/4)# ipv6 address 3013::3/64
device(conf-if-e1000-1/1/4)# ipv6 vrrp vrid 2
device(conf-if-e1000-1/1/4-vrid-2)# backup priority 100
device(conf-if-e1000-1/1/4-vrid-2)# version 3
device(conf-if-e1000-1/1/4-vrid-1)# advertise backup
device(conf-if-e1000-1/1/4-vrid-2)# ipv6-address fe80::768e:f8ff:fe2a:0099
device(conf-if-e1000-1/1/4-vrid-2)# ipv6-address 3013::2
device(conf-if-e1000-1/1/4-vrid-2)# activate
Assigning an auto-generated link-local IPv6 address for a VRRPv3 cluster
The default VRRPv3 implementation allows only the link-local address that is
congured on a physical interface, to be used as the virtual
IPv6 address of a VRRPv3 instance. This limits conguring a link-local address for each VRRP instance on the same physical interface
because there can be only one link-local address per physical interface.
To auto-generate and assign a virtual link-local IPv6 address as the virtual IPv6 address of a VRRPv3 cluster, use the ipv6-
address auto-gen-link-local command in the VRRP conguration mode of the owner or backup router.
The following example shows the auto-generation of a virtual link-local IPv6 address and its allocation as the virtual IPv6 address of a
VRRPv3 cluster on an owner router.
Brocade(config)# interface ve 3
Brocade(config-vif-3)# ipv6 vrrp vrid 2
Brocade(config-vif-3-vrid-2)# owner
Brocade(config-vif-3-vrid-2)# ipv6-address auto-gen-link-local
Brocade(config-vif-3-vrid-2)# activate
